Sometimes, old NASCAR cars go up for auction and a person with deep pockets can become the lucky owner of the prized possession. Recently, it transpired that the latest car to receive such a treatment was the 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo of Jeff Gordon.
The chassis number is #2449 and was the same car that legend Jeff Gordon took to victory lane in Bristol. Later on, all the components were removed and installed on a replacement chassis.
One fan wrote on Reddit, “That’s a damn cool car. Shame it doesn’t have the old ‘Bristol’ scars on it. Still, that’s one of the more iconic Bristol wins of the 2000s.”
Another fan said, “Cool find. I was a huge Jeff Gordon fan and the early 2000s DuPont paint schemes were my favorites. I would try to buy it, but I don’t have the money (let alone, a place to put it).”
