Most beautiful Stock Car ever built...never allowed to race...Now FOR SALE

"The story of this car starts back in 1963 when GM decided to terminate all factory support for racing. Most teams switched to Ford or Mopar products but not Smokey Yunick. In the mid-sixties Smokey built a series of 1966 Chevelles that have transcended the racing record to enter the lofty realm of legend. The first car blew off all the Fords and Mopars and won the pole for the ’67 Daytona 500 with Curtis Turner behind the wheel. It also sat on the pole for the next race at Atlanta but Turner crashed it in practice and the car was destroyed. The car was full of Smokey’s tricks, some that NASCAR knew about and some they didn’t.

"For 1968 Smokey took all that he had learned from the ’67 Daytona car added even more. In the end, NASCAR didn’t agree with Smokey’s rule interpretations and never let the car run, not even in tire testing! He ended up selling the car to a racer in Georgia who tried to run it in a Sportsman race at Daytona in 1969 and NASCAR again refused to let it race. In 1988 Smokey realized he had never been paid for the car and tracked it down. He recovered it from a city dump where the car had been taken after the shop it was stored in had burned down. Once back in the “Best Damn Garage in Town” it was carefully restored back to the condition it was in when presented to tech inspection at Daytona in 1968."
