Had no idea there were so few of these around.Most cars are sold/junked at the end of season, four of any one year/team is probably better than average(then we don't know if these are all '88 or a mix of '87-'88)... I've seen the 9 car at Henry's place as well, has a major cool factor... The Coors can/car display is killer, love it... Never seen one of those...Here's the Talladega clock I have with Bill's '86 on it... A neighbor made a bunch of different ones(drivers), bought it at one of his yard sale... A little hard to believe but the '86 qualified just .573 MPH slower than the '87... Quote Selected

Bill Elliott Thunderbird in Philadelphia car museum Reply #8 – June 03, 2015, 09:16:17 PM I keep driving past Simeone and never have time to stop in, I gotta take my explorer into Pacifico Ford in the next week or two for a free oil change and inspection. So I'll have an hour or two to kill. Quote Selected
