Description

OUTSTANDING  OFFERING OF THE 1988 DAYTONA 500 WINNING RACE CAR OF BOBBY ALLISON!!!
BOBBY ALLISON IS A LIVING LEGEND.  HE WAS A HERO TO MANY NASCAR FANS DURING HIS CAREER AND WAS THE FATHER OF THE ALSO FAMOUS DAVEY ALLISON.  BOBBY  IS TIED FOR 5TH WITH DARRELL WALTRIP ON THE ALL TIME WINNING LIST FOR DRIVERS IN NASCAR CUP HISTORY WITH 84 VICTORIES.   HE WAS  INDUCTED INTO THE 2011 CLASS OF THE NASCAR HALL OF FAME.
BOBBY HAD BEEN TEARING UP THE SHORT TRACKS IN THE SOUTH FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN THE SPORTSMANS, LATE MODEL, AND MODIFIED DIVISIONS.  WHEN HE SHOWED UP ON THE SCENE ON NASCAR'S TOP CIRCUIT IN 1965, IN HIS YEAR OLD LITTLE INDEPENDENT CHEVELLE, HE DROVE THE FACTORY TEAMS CRAZY.  EVERY ONE KNOWS HOW COMPETITIVE BOBBY WAS THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER.  BOBBY WAS ONE OF THOSE DRIVERS WHO JUST LOVED TO RACE.  AND RACE HE DID EVERY CHANCE HE GOT.  WHEN HE HAD THE TIME IN THE LATE 60'S AND EARLY 70'S HE WOULD OFTEN SHOW UP AT LOCAL TRACKS THROUGH OUT THE COUNTRY IN HIS SPORTSMAN CARS.  BOBBY OFTEN DROVE WITH THE SPONSORSHIP OF LONG TERM FRIEND AND SUPPORTER COCA COLA.
HE ALSO DROVE MANY YEARS FOR LONG TIME SUPPORTER MILLER BEER.  HE WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN A MILLER BEER SPONSORED BUICK IN 1983.
THIS IS  A CLOSE REPLICA OF THE BUICK HE DROVE FOR THE STAVOLA BROTHERS IN 1988.  HE WON THE DAYTONA 500 THAT YEAR WITH HIS SON DAVEY FINISHING 2ND IN A VERY CLOSE RACE.  IT WAS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF BOBBY'S LIFE.  SADLY HE HAS VERY FEW MEMORIES OF THAT RACE AS HE WAS INVOLVED IN A TERRBILE CRASH AT POCONO, IN A CAR VERY SIMILIAR TO THIS ONE, AND CAME VERY CLOSE TO LOSING HIS LIFE.  HE CONTINUES TO BE ACTIVE IN THE SPORT OF NASCAR AND YOU CAN SEE HIM AT VARIOUS EVENTS THROUGH OUT THE YEAR.  BOBBY HAS GIVEN HIS ALL TO THE SPORT AND UNFORTUNATELY LOST HIS 2 SONS, DAVEY AND CLIFFORD, IN RACING ACCIDENTS AS WELL AS OTHER THINGS.   HE REMAINS ONE OF THE GREATS OF NASCAR!!!
A MUST HAVE FOR ANY SERIOUS NASCAR COLLECTOR OR BOBBY ALLISON FAN!!  BOBBY DROVE MANY MAKES AND MODELS OF CARS THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER.  HE DROVE CHEVIES, DODGES, FORDS, PLYMOUTHS, BUICKS, AND EVEN HAD SUCCESS IN THE AMERICAN MOTORS MATADOR.   HE WAS AND STILL IS, ONE OF NASCAR GREATS!!!!!

This is a beautiful custom built 1/24 scale car.  It started out as a HOOD OPEN REVELL LUMINA.  A LOT OF WORK AND LOVE WENT INTO THIS CAR TO MAKE THE CHEVY LOOK VERY CLOSE LIKE A BUICK.  The body is die-cast that has been stripped, repainted, decals added, and clear coated.  Although the REVELL chassis is not as detailed as some of the cars I offer, it still would look great in a curio, a display unit, or your favorite Bobby Allison shelf.  I KNOW that any  BOBBY ALLISON Fan, BUICK FAN, or NASCAR HISTORY BUFF would be thrilled with this car to add to their collection.  The hood does open.   MAKE IT YOURS TODAY BY HAVING THE HIGHEST BID.
