Vehicle Description
Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s Chevrolet Nova race car built by famed
fabricator Robert Gee to compete in NASCAR's Late Model Sportsman
Division competition. Originally Dale's Wrangler-sponsored Pontiac
Ventura, it was converted to a Chevy Nova for better aerodynamics
by Dale and brother-in-law Robert Gee Jr. It won at Richmond,
Darlington, Rockingham and others. When Anheuser-Busch sponsored
the Busch Series replacing Late Model Sportsman, Dale won the first
ever Busch Series race at Daytona in 1986 with this car. It was
also the first year the Goodwrench Black and Silver paint scheme
was used. This car has been vintage raced since the '90s and is
very well-known. It was invited and driven at the Goodwood Festival
of Speed three times (2005, 2006 and 2009), and was also invited
and participated in the 50th Anniversary of Daytona Speedway in
2009. More recently it participated in the 2012 Rolex Monterey
Sports Reunion and was on the grass at the 2014 Concours d'
Elegance at St. Johns. It's powered by a 358ci NASCAR V8 engine
making over 700hp backed by a 4-speed manual transmission and is in
good running and driving condition, but due to some years in a
private collection, it should be professionally gone over before
racing. **NOT STREET LEGAL** **SOLD ON BILL OF SALE**
