Here’s Your Chance To Own A NASCAR Race Car Driven By Dale Jr.

While the Chevrolet Monte Carlo could still be ordered with a V8, but the time the last generation rolled around, it had gone front-wheel drive and was slower than a Honda Accord with a V6. The NASCAR version, on the other hand, was basically the complete opposite. It was rear-wheel drive, came with a manual transmission and was actually, legitimately fast. It wasn’t street-legal, but who cares? It was a race car, and now you can buy one on Cars & Bids.

Now, since it’s a race car, you won’t be able to use it to take your kids to school or grab groceries unless you have access to an incredibly conveniently located private road. It would make a great display piece, though, if you’re the kind of person who can afford a house big enough to fit a car inside. That’s boring and lame, though. Don’t do that. Instead, I say channel your inner Garage 56 and take this puppy racing. You probably won’t lay down the fastest lap time of the day, but who cares? Let that naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V8 sing as you hoon the hell out of your Budweiser-decorated slice of Americana.

2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo NASCAR race car driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr.

According to the listing, this particular car was built for Dale Earnhardt Jr., and he actually raced it in the 2007 Pepsi 400. Unfortunately for Earnhardt Jr. and the car, that race didn’t go particularly well for them. He ended up finishing that race in 36th place. He did qualify and end up beating Denny Hamlin, though, so it wasn’t as bad of a showing as it could have been. Besides, the limiting factor any time you hit the track (if you can find a track that will let you hit it) probably isn’t going to be how competitive your old NASCAR race car was back in 2007.

Come on, you know you want to own a King of the Beers race car. It would kick ass even if it was of limited use to a lot of people. Don’t listen to the haters, either. They’re just jealous that you can afford a sweet race car, and they can’t. Either that, or they don’t love America.

This is why you should buy a NASCAR Race Car!
