OUTSTANDING OFFERING!! THIS IS ONE OF THE LEGENDS OF NASCAR!!! HOWEVER YOU MAY NOT VIEW THIS GUY AS A DRIVER AS MUCH AS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS CAR OWNERS & WRENCH TURNERS ON THE NASCAR CIRCUIT---GLENN WOOD OF THE FAMOUS WOOD BROTHERS. BEFORE GLENN WOOD BECAME A LEGEND AS PART OF THE WOOD BROTHERS RACE TEAM, HE WAS A DRIVER HIMSELF. THE RECORD BOOKS SHOWS GLENN AS WINNING 4 RACES IN THE TOP TIER OF NASCAR. MAKE THIS GREAT LOOKING REPLICA YOURS TODAY WITH THE WINNING BID!!
THE STORIES OF THESE EARLY NASCAR HEROES AND LEGENDS ARE A LARGE PART OF THE COLORFUL HISTORY OF NASCAR. GLENN IS ONE OF THOSE LEGENDS, AND IS STILL AROUND TODAY. THE WOOD BROTHERS WHICH CONSISTED OF GLENN AND LEONARD WOOD, AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WERE THE TOP NOTCH CAR BUILDERS IN THE 1960'S AND 70'S. THEY WERE KNOWN AS ONE OF THE FASTEST PIT CREWS IN THE WORLD AT ONE TIME, AND WAS EVEN CREDITED WITH PITTING THE WINNING CAR AT INDY ONE YEAR. THEY GAINED FAME IN THE 1970'S FOR BUILDING THE FAMOUS WHITE AND RED/BURGANDY CARS FOR DAVID PEARSON, THE SILVER FOX. HERE THEY ARE TODAY, STILL FIELDING CARS THAT ARE COMPETITIVE AND EVEN WON THE DAYTONA 500 AS RECENTLY AS 2011. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A TEAM THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 6 DECADES AND RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF NASCAR---WHAT A TEAM THAT HAILS FROM STEWART VIRGINIA.
GLENN WAS ONE OF THE EARLY HEROES
OF NASCAR. HE ALONG WITH DRIVERS LIKE CURTIS TURNER, BUCK BAKER, LEE PETTY, JOE WEATHERLY AND FIREBALL ROBERTS BLAZED THE TRAIL FOR THE DRIVERS OF TODAY. THEY ARE THE DRIVERS THAT PUT THE FANS IN THE STANDS, AND GAVE THEM A SHOW THAT THEY TALKED ABOUT FOR DAYS, EVEN YEARS. GLENN WON 4 RACES ON THE TOP TIER OF NASCAR. GLEN WAS A LEGEND THEN, AND STILL IS TODAY FIELDING COMPETITIVE CARS WITH THE HELP OF HIS SON AND NEPHEWS. THE STORIES OF HIM AS A DRIVER AND CAR BUILDER ARE PART OF THE COLORFUL HISTORY OF NASCAR.
YOU WILL BE BIDDING ON A REPLICA OF ONE OF GLENN'S EARLY CARS--A 1960 FORD STARLINER. IT WAS SPONSORED BY AUTO SALES & BODY COMPANY OUT OF MARTINSVILLE VIRGINIA WHICH IS NEAR STEWART VA. WHERE THE TEAM WAS AND STILL LOCATED. GLENN, FIREBALL, LITTLE JOE, LEE PETTY, BUCK BAKER AND OTHERS PUT ON SOME OF THE BEST SHOWS IN NASCAR HISTORY. THE FANS LOVED BEING ABLE TO LOOK ON AS THEY DID POWERSLIDES THROUGH THE TURNS ON THE DIRT AND EVEN THE PAVED TRACKS BACK THEN.
THIS IS A CUSTOM MADE CLEAR WINDOW CAR WITH OPENING HOOD AND TRUNK. IT STARTED OUT AS A MAISTO STREET CAR. RACING TIRES, RACING RIMS, AND ROLL BARS WERE ADDED TO GIVE IT A NASCAR STOCKER LOOK. THE BODY IS DIECAST THAT HAS BEEN STRIPPED, REPAINTED, DECALED, AND CLEAR COATED, MAKING IT A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CAR FROM WHAT IT STARTED OUT AS. ALTHOUGH THE CHASSIS IS NOT AS DETAILED AS SOME OTHER CARS I OFFER, IT WOULD STILL LOOK GREAT IN A CURIO CABINET, A DISPLAY UNIT OR YOUR FAVORITE NASCAR SHELF. IT DOES HAVE AN OPENING HOOD AND TRUNK.
THIS IS A MUST HAVE COLLECTIBLE FOR ALL GLENN WOOD FANS, THE WOOD BROS. FANS, FORD FANS, AND/OR COLLECTORS OF HISTORICAL CARS. IN FACT, IT WOULD LOOK GREAT IN ANYONES COLLECTION. THIS IS A HISTORY BUFF'S DREAM!!
