DESCRIPTION
Offered for sale is a very exciting, rare and unusual car in the UK and a first for Silverstone Auctions! A 2007 Ford Fusion Nextel Cup Nascar, built, owned and driven by the legendary driver Robby Gordon. An awesome car that gets the attention of everyone who sees it. The exterior of the car looks like a genuine retired race car, with the odd battle scar adding to the authentic look of a car used in anger in the white-hot pace that is American Nascar.
Fitted with a small block engine that has been professionally built by Menards Racing Development, with expensive performance parts such as the Wilson intake manifold, this car also retains its very expensive twin ignition boxes and sounds incredible. It's enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and grown men cry! At the end of a racing season these cars are typically sold off to the American public as 'bare bones' cars, however, this car managed to escape that fate and many of the expensive and crucial parts remained with the car making this a very exciting proposition for anyone wishing to purchase this racer.
Prior to being imported here, the car was taken to a Nascar workshop in the USA specialising in the race preparation of Nascars for gentlemen drivers and overall the car checked out very well. The specialists stated there were no signs of any accident damage, with the chassis appearing to be all straight and correct. In fact, the car received high praise from the shop owner who is a perfectionist and typically critical of most cars that pass through his works!
Since being in the UK the car has formed part of a private collection which includes many exciting vehicles including a collection of race Ferraris, however, the vendor informs us that no other car in his collection creates the excitement and interest as this Nascar, a car he loves and is reluctantly being sold to slim down his collection. A very rare opportunity to add one of the most exotic and unusual race cars in the UK to your garage and to become the envy of your friends and colleagues. You can now finally pretend to be Cole Trickle in your own garage!
