Title: Pictures of my Buddies NASCAR car
Post by: Fiatdude on October 19, 2012, 18:27:46 pm
He is taking it to Mecham for sale next month -- It is a zero mile road course car -- and I took a few pictures for future reference and I thought I'd share

Good luck with the sale, I heard it is very nice and in near new condition.
I had considered it before I got my Trans Am race car.  :)

Y'know, I never even looked at that! I thought Nascar was like Pro Stock, where the engine and the body had to be from the same manufacturer?

At the top levels of NASCAR yes, they do need to be of the same manufacture -- -- but when you drop down into the sportsman ranks, maybe it is not required ------ I argued with him that the chevy engines would "devalue" the cars -- -- But he is very good friends with McCray in Upland, who builds some very killer bowtie engines
