Dale Earnhardt NASCAR diecast 1978 Ford Torino with opening features
NASCAR diecast are some of the hottest collectibles on the market. NASCAR fans have an insatiable appetite for replicas of their favorite driver’s cars. In fact, the collectibles market has caught on to this and now issue special edition replicas in different paint schemes or graphics packages that differ for each race weekend. You can also buy commemorative “race win” cars that exactly replica the winning car for each race.
Talk about confusing. This hotly contested collectibles market can be very challenging for the beginner to understand. And very expensive for the devoted fan you wants to own every version of his favorite drivers car.
For the NASCAR fan and collector, a good alternative is to start building a collection of historic drivers and cars from the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies. These vintage racers are now being released as limited edition collectible diecast. Some of the most famous names in racing are represented like Richard Petty, Fireball Roberts, Dale Earnhardt, Cale Yarborough, Bobby Allison, Ned Jarret and Junior Johnson. In fact, many of these cars can be purchased with authentic driver autographs on the car’s hood, roof or windshield.
Many of the hand autographed cars are limited editions in quantities ranging from 300-600 total. These signature cars might cost more, but they certainly ensure collectability for the future!
One car in particular that has sparked my interest is a 1978 Dale Earnhardt Ford Torino. Now this car is not autographed (for obvious reasons) but it is one of the first NASCAR race cars that Dale drove…and it’s a Ford to boot! This car dates back long before Earnhardt became known as “The Man in Black” for driving his black Goodwrench Chevy. And that’s what makes this NASCAR diecast so collectible. It is unique and different, but also represents one of the sport’s most recognizable drivers.
You know him as “The Intimidator” and “The Man in Black” for driving his #3 Goodwrench Chevrolet. But before his 1979 Rookie of the Year season, Dale Earnhardt raced this Cardinal Tractor 1978 Ford Torino in NASCAR’s premier Winston Cup series. And race it he did, driving the Ford to his first ever Top 10 finish at Daytona. Never before replicated, now you can own this historic Dale Earnhardt diecast. Masterfully crafted with a wired V-8 under the hood. Detailed roll cage, interior and window net. Goodyear race slicks. And all the original sponsor logos and graphics. Don’t miss your chance to own the Ford that launched Dale Earnhardt’s career.
