This is a new in box (never displayed) 1:18 scale diecast of the car that Dale Sr. and Junior raced in his last 24 hour race before he was killed. I watched on TV as during the night, when it was raining cats and dogs, Dale set track records as being faster than any of the prototype cars. TV announcers could not believe the speed he had, especially in the rain.
I ordered this car as soon as it was available, and then two weeks later, he was taken from us. I have kept it in the original box, opening it up only to look at it when I got it.
From the Diecast Depot Shop site:
This piece appears just as it did after the race, with all the race damage and battle scars. Clear window car. Hood, trunk, and doors open. The detail on this car is great...This diecast car is precision-engineered by Action Performance, the definitive brand in NASCAR collectibles. It's body and chassis are all-diecast; features superior quality tampo-graphics; exhaust openings; aero-designed wheels; manufacturer-specific engine detail; intricate fuel compartment; premium quality paint; disc brake assembly; and lots more! and it is attractively packaged in it's uniquely designed box.
On their site, this exact car is $340. I will sell for $150 firm.
Can meet near Warrenton, Gainesville, or Haymarket.
If the ad is up, they are available. Please, no scammers- I've been burned before.
