The nationwide series is going to the COT in 2011, and will use them in some races in 2010. It probably won't bring top dollar, and if it has been used as a show car it likely has key parts that are really not worth a crap, ie timed out.

Never thought about that. I was thinking it would make a good HSRA piece.

the nascar rides werent going for as much as i thought at bj this year. this is #1 though, plus its jr. so its probably worth 100k to someone. 50k for the 69 seems pretty good.

The cars that bring big money are the cars that won. Sounds like this car was built to take on tour to Sams clubs along with the 69. It is too new to run the vintage stuff and if it was built to tour I wonder what drivetrain is in it. You can buy turnkey old Nascars for under 50K. I recently bought a 1999 Tony Stewart Home Depot car for open tracking but I can't run it with the vintage Nascar guys out here because they are something like 1985 and older. Fun track car though.

Is the '99 car a Chevy Charley...got any pictures?

Very cool. I have never been in a NASCAR so I have nothing to compare it to. How do you like it on the track? Did they leave the full tilt NASCAR engine in it too?

'Fun track car' it must be for sure. Do you run it on a full road corse? Does it handle well? (turning both ways and all)

That is what I meant to say. Not HSRA but a track car. I have a buddy of mine that was a partner in the Tasman Motorsports Group that used to race all kinds of vintage stuff, Lola's etc. He sold it all and bought an old NASCAR to race and go to track days. He likes the fact that he can unload it, do a quick nut and bolt, gas it up and sit in the shade until track time. He rebuilds the engine once a year. He enjoys driving and not wrenching, so it was a great move for him. His car is absolutely bullet proof. I would bet he has a lot less than $50k in his. :thumbsup: Said it is the most fun he has add behind the wheel!

Once he got it "sorted out" to go both left and right he said it's a blast..
