Great looking race car. I think I have a gold one that was a NAPA promo about ten years ago around here somewhere. |

Nascar never interested me, but that does not mean I cannot admire a well-executed model of a Nascar vehicle. |

This generation of Grand Prix, in street form, would be so cool to have in small scale! |

Back from the days when I was still very much into NASCAR and putting most of my collecting efforts into finding them. I am sure I have this one packed away in one of my NASCAR boxes - as I noted a while back, when I finish all my traveling this summer I will hopefully get most of the race car stuff posted in the sale forum. |

That's about where I'm at. When this one came out NASCAR was quite hot for collectibles, but that segment seems to have dropped off considerably. Even at that time I was primarily only interested in Kyle Petty's rides both for the family name and Hot Wheels corporate sponsorship. Agree to an extent with Dean, the stock vehicles seem to have been glossed over, even by the cheapie makers. Late 90s Grand Ams were attractive vehicles, just not very durable and seemed to have some mechanical glitches. I don't see them on the roads anymore to speak of, quite telling considering some older vehicles keep going and going, and are still plentiful on the roads. |
