Daytona 500 speedway museum

My wife and I were in Florida this past week visiting a friend and she got us tickets for the track tour of Daytona. Afterwards we went to the racing museum they have and it was pretty cool! This may have been posted before but I couldn’t find it, it was a small museum but a lot of cool stuff, I was surprised at what was there especially the Challenger 1 and the Blue Bird special. I assumed the Blue Bird was a recreation but not sure it looked really nice! If anyone has any info/ comments please let me know!

I haven't been there for many years but it looks like they have a lot more cars than before. And quite an assortment. Thanks for the pictures.

It has changed a lot since I visited it in 1996 just after it opened as Daytona U.S.A.

I'd have to hazard a guess that all the cars are genuine. 

What's the point of a historical museum if there are clones in it?

Yeah that makes sense, i have seen another Challenger 1 that was in California in a magazine but they could be the same car and they moved it to Florida, that was really cool to see and I need to find the kit, I built one years ago and I don’t think I can take it apart, it was a tough build!
