#84 DICK TRICKLE 1989 (ROOKIE CUP CAR) BUICK REGAL EXTRA RARE 1/24 CUSTOM

Description

OUTSTANDING  OFFERING!!!
WHAT A CAR!!  WHAT A DRIVER.   THIS IS DICK TRICKLE'S 1989 NASCAR WINSTON CUP ROOKIE OF THE YEAR CAR.  IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT DICK TRICKLE HAS WON MORE RACES ON THE VARIOUS CIRCUITS THAN ANY OTHER DRIVER.
DON'T LET THE WORD "ROOKIE"  FOOL YOU.  DICK TRICKLE HAD BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME BEFORE DECIDING TO RUN THE ENTIRE SEASON IN A WINSTON CUP CAR.  HE WON THE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR TITLE THAT YEAR AND BECAME THE OLDEST ROOKIE EVER TO WIN THE TITLE AT THE AGE OF 49.
THIS IS  A CLOSE REPLICA OF THE BUICK HE DROVE FOR THE STAVOLA BROTHERS IN 1989.
ALTHOUGH HIS WINNING RECORD IS NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE IN NASCAR'S TOP TIER, YOU NEED TO KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY.  THE STAVOLA BROTHERS RACE TEAM WAS LOOKING FOR A WINNING DRIVER TO PUT IN THEIR MILLER BUICK FOR THE 1989 SEASON TO REPLACE THE INJURED BOBBY ALLISON.  BOBBY ALMOST LOST HIS LIFE IN A HORRIFIC CRASH THE PREVIOUS YEAR.  THEY THOUGHT TRICKLE WOULD FIT THE BILL WITH HIS WINNING RECORD.   DICK TRICKLE (HIS REAL NAME) IS CREDITED FOR HAVING OVER 1200 FEATURE WINS.  HE HAD COMPETED IN OVER 2,200 RACES AND HAS RACED IN EXCESS OF 1,000,000 (1 MILLION) LAPS.  HE WAS OFTEN BILLED AS THE WINNINGEST SHORT TRACK DRIVER EVER.  SOME OF HIS CAREER HIGHLIGHTS ARE--1968 USAC STOCK CAR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR--HE HAD 67 WINS IN 1972 ALONE.  HE WON 7 ARTGO CHAMPIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE 9 YEARS OF 1979-1987.  DICK WON BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THE ASA/AC DELCO CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES IN 1984 & 1985.  THEN HE WAS NAMED ROOKIE OF THE YEAR IN 1989 IN THE WINSTON CUP SERIES.  DICK IS NO LONGER WITH US AS HE HAS PASSED AWAY.  BUT HE WAS AND REMAINS A LEGEND IN THE SPORT OF AUTO RACING.
A MUST HAVE FOR ANY SERIOUS NASCAR COLLECTOR OR DICK TRICKLE FAN!!  DICK DROVE MANY MAKES AND MODELS OF CARS THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER AND WAS COMPETITIVE IN EVERY CAR IN EVERY SERIES HE DROVE.
THIS WOULD BE A FANTASTIC CAR TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION OR ANY COLLECTION FOR THAT MATTER!!
IF YOU HAVE THE BOBBY ALLISON MILLER BUICK YOU NEED THIS CAR TO MAKE YOUR COLLECTION COMPLETE.  THEY WOULD COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER PERFECTLY.

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 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 NASCAR shelf.  I KNOW that any  DICK TRICKLE 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.
