In 1966 my dad and I attended our 1st NASCAR race outside of Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville, I was 10. Jim Hurtubise won the event.....his name was spelt wrong on the car. This is a Plymouth GTX with a mostly custom interior, PPP tires and wheels, and Yesterday's decals
Thanks for looking

Wow, very nice! Great looking racecar! Herk was one of my favorites up in Milwaukee. I have this build started, as well. But it is not moving real fast!

This Plymouth is gorgeous, Spotter!!!  I love your builds because they are such squeaky clean builds and a testament to your modeling skills!!!  I also love the early years to mid 90's NASCAR cars.  After that, not so much...😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗🏁

This is a GREAT looking car and Build Mark. I also think this body style looks awesome as a Circle track car...

Looks great. I have had that one on my to-build list for years but still haven't got around to it.
