Description
Following a practice crash in 1990, the car was partially dismantled, and the damaged chassis and bodywork were stored outdoors before being acquired by Rhine Enterprise of Denver, North Carolina, where the car was rebuilt and fitted with a replacement 358ci V8. Equipment includes a four-barrel carburetor, dry-sump lubrication, dual MSD ignition modules, and 15â? steel wheels as well as a Butlerbuilt racing seat, Hurst shifter, fire-suppression system, and AutoMeter gauges. This NASCAR Thunderbird is now offered in Pennsylvania with refurbishment documentation and a bill of sale. Portions of the bodywork were replaced and the tube-frame chassis was repaired during the refurbishment. The red Folgers #6 livery replicates the carâ??s appearance during the 1990 season. Mark Martin piloted the car at Darlington in 2017 for a segment of NBC Sports Networkâ??s NASCAR America. Exterior details include front brake duct inlets, exposed hood pins, cooling vents, a rear spoiler, side-exit exhaust pipes, and longitudinal stabilizing strips along either side of the roof. Black 15â? Aero wheels are mounted with 27. 5Ã?12. 0â? Goodyear Eagle racing slicks.
