Ex-Jeff Gordon NASCAR Sprint Cup Car Ready To Race And For Sale

There are several iconic racing cars such as the no. 24 NASCAR trophy cars driven by Jeff Gordon. During his 22 full-time seasons competing in NASCAR’s top-flight series, Gordon earned 93 wins and multiple championships. He is one of the most successful NASCAR drivers of all time, so when one of his race cars is sold, people tend to pay attention to him.

The fire-wrapped car shown here is offered by Speedart Motorsports at an asking price of $165,000. This is a 2011 Chevrolet Impala built by Hendrick Motorsports, chassis number 678, and campaigned for in the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup season. Gordon drove this car at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Brickyard 400 on July 29, where he finished in 2nd place. His next outing was at Michigan International Speedway on August 21 for the Pure Michigan 400, finishing 6th with Gordon at the wheel. He also drove this car at Chicagoland Speedway on September 9, finishing in 24th place. Gordon ended up finishing the season in 8th place overall.

This is not the stripped-down NASCAR shell it was meant to show. According to Speedart Motorsports, this is turn-key ready and geared up for road course events. It packs a proper 358 cubic-inch (5.9 liter) Hendrick Motorsports V8 engine, topped with a large Holley carburetor that provides enough fuel to make 850 horsepower. It is connected to the SR-1 four-speed manual gearbox used for NASCAR road racing. Brembo brakes and 15-inch Aero wheels sit on every corner.

The interior conforms to NASCAR specs for the 2011 season, finished in primary white with a roll cage, window mesh and removable Momo steering wheel among many other features. The exterior wears a true 2011 livery, including sponsors who are on board for the season. Speedart Motorsports notes that the rear spoiler is an updated carbon fiber item, but the original wing is included with the car.

This racer was one of the last Gordon used cars to be sold to private individuals direct from the Hendrick Motorsports team. It’s definitely not street legal, but a legit NASCAR trophy car with ties to a legendary driver makes it a very special trip.
