Vehicle Description
Jeff Gordon NASCAR Pit Practice Racer.
Here is your chance to own a piece of NASCAR racing history that
was thought to have disappeared but is now available at RK Motors
of Charlotte, NC.
This 1997 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet Monte Carlo was built as a
research and development (R&D) project with the intention of
being raced but it was needed elsewhere.
The racecar was put into service as a Pit Stop Practice car to
raise funds for the Hendrick Marrow Program that was established in
1997. After several years of helping with a great cause, this
racecar was parked at the Hendrick Motorsports facility until it
was acquired by an employee. In late 2017, it was then acquired by
Rhine Enterprises in Denver, NC. At that time, it started to
undergo a complete meticulous restoration with completion in 2021
for the current owner.
Since being done, this racecar was tested and tuned on only
one-track day.
Power comes from a fresh 358 c.i.d., 18-degree HMS engine with a
new Holley carburetor and approximately 700 h.p. The transmission
is a fresh Jerico 4-speed manual connected with a new driveshaft to
the rear end that has new 3.82 gears. The clutch was also replaced
during the restoration.
All the wiring has been replaced and is new. A 22-gallon fuel cell
with new bladder and components have been installed or
replaced.
Other new items include windshield, springs, duct hoses, fuel pump,
brake lines, fittings, hoses, shocks were rebuilt, ignition boxes,
belts and more.
Rhine Enterprises is a full-service specialty fabrication and
restoration shop that focuses on bringing vintage racecars back to
glory!
