Need help identifying a number font

Post image

Hey all! I need help finding the name of Mario Andretti’s Daytona 500 winning number font. If you could help identifying the font of the number that would be a HUGE help! Thanks!

It's entirely possible they made the 2 using the "idea" font as a solid enough base, but it may just be a fully custom font as numbers were painted back then. You might have luck trying to find some model decal makers who create the decal sets for classics and see what they have as far as identifying the exact font. Idea is definitely a different #1 but that 2 looks looks like its based off of it
