It appears to be in good condition for a former racer with no damage or other issues noted. The car wears its original Aquafresh graphics and livery from its one season of use in the mid 1990s. It is located in Sierra Madre, California and is being offered on behalf of the late owner’s estate. The car was stored for approximately five years and needs further prep before it can be raced. This chassis is tuned for road courses and power comes from a 351ci V8 paired to a Jerico 4-speed manual transmission and quick change rear end. The car was set up in accordance to the VARA rule book at the time of its purchase, and the seller notes that it could be set up for use in Vintage NASCAR, VARA, or SVRA. It was purchased as a track toy and maintained by the same owner until his passing in 2016. This example was acquired by a friend of the seller’s at auction in 1998 after the Aquafresh team switched from Fords to Pontiacs. To complement that look, a McDonald’s branded car cover is also thrown into the mix. Inside, we only get a single fixed back aluminum seat, surrounded by a full, padded roll cage and backed by a multi-point harness.Īt the time of writing, there are 12 or so hours left in the bidding process, and the highest someone is willing to go is $47,000.This 1994 Ford Thunderbird was raced by Roy “Buckshot” Jones for one season in the NASCAR Busch Series. The Thunderbird seems to be in good overall shape, with its original red exterior still wearing the McDonald’s and Coca-Cola livery it had on back in the racing days.

It works with a four-speed manual transmission and a nine-inch rear axle, but if that’s not to the liking of the future owner, a spare 358ci (5.9-liter) is offered to go. The race car is powered by a 370ci (6.0-liter) that got placed inside the engine bay last year.

It got refurbished by the same enterprise in 1998, it got sold in 2018, and now it’s on the open market once more, hoping to draw in the highest bidder on Bring a Trailer. Prepped by Bill Elliott Racing for its oval track duties, the car was quickly retired from NASCAR and went on to race in historic events. What you’re looking at is a NASCAR-bred Thunderbird raced back in 1995 at Sears Point and Watkins Glen by Bill Elliott, and in various other locations one year later, in the hands of Tommy Kendall and Dorsey Schroeder.
