Here are a couple of more new ones. I think Revel did a nice job with these cars. The graphics and details are good, and they even have engine and under body detail. They had been fetching $25-$30 apiece but I just got eight of them for less than $10 each all-in. I'll post my entire NASCAR collection a bit later. For now here are the new additions.
1997 Ford Thunderbird - Revell

Those do look good. I remember them being for sale at the swapmeets for years, then disappearing.

I picked up the Wood Brothers T-Bird for a very nice price a few years ago. You are right, they are a nice value.

Now that I've found a few at such great prices I've got my eye out for more. There are a lot more variations than I had realized and plenty of aftermarket decals as well.

Every now and then some of these Revell Stock Cars show up for crazy cheap prices. The detail is very good and the graphics/liveries are fantastic. I got these for $10 apiece including shipping!

1997 Terry Labonte Monte Carlo Talladega winner...no wait...I want Corn Flakes:
1998 Steve Park Monte Carlo. Great livery. Pennzoil and Snap-On:
Love him or hate him, the boy could wheel a stock car. 1998 Jeff Gordon Monte Carlo (Pennsylvania 500 winner and series champ). And it has a Quaker State sponsorship!

Fun to see these Alex! I live near 'Nascar' central and yet have never been to a race ;( Lots of colorful value here, and all display well against your backdrop. Any idea if Nascar in general is as popular as it was, say 20 years ago? Perhaps it is even more popular, I've just no idea? I do sort of miss seeing street going Grand Prix Coupes, Monte Carlos etc  |

I always thought the Steve Parks car was a great looking livery.

I always thought the Steve Parks car was a great looking livery. Me too! And he drove it slow enough that you could get a good look.  |

Cool collection Alex. Is anyone making current NASCARs in 1:43?
