Description:


ORIGINALLY BUILT AS A PONTIAC VENTURA BY DALE EARNHARDT AND HIS FATHER-IN-LAW ROBERT GEE. WHEN EARNHARDT DISCOVERED THAT THE BOXY CHEVY NOVA WOULD BE QUITE A BIT FASTER ON THE SUPER SPEEDWAYS, HE AND HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW ROBERT GEE JR. CHANGED THE NOSE AND REAR BUMPER TO A CHEVY NOVA. USING HIS FAMOUS FATHER RALPH EARNHARDT'S NUMBER 8, DALE WON MANY RACES INCLUDING DAYTONA, CHARLOTTE, AND DARLINGTON WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE 1996 AND COMPILED A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MEMORABILIA AND DOCUMENTATION. INVITED AND RUN AT GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED 2005, 2006, 2009; DARLINGTON SPEEDWAY VINTAGE EVENT; LAGUNA SECA CALIF. AND VARIOUS VINTAGE EVENTS ON U.S. EAST COAST. PRESENTLY UNDERGOING TOTAL RE-RESTORATION IN NASCAR SHOP.
