This Chevrolet Impala NASCAR was campaigned by Hendrick Motorsports on the 2011 Sprint Cup circuit, qualifying eighth and finishing second in its first race at the Indianapolis Brickyard 400 in July of that year with Jeff Gordon driving. Additional race history included a sixth-place finish at the Pure Michigan 400 in August, and a 24th-place finish in its last race at the Geico 400 in September. Rick Ware Racing in Thomasville, North Carolina spent two years rebuilding the car before it was acquired by its current owner. It is powered by 358ci SB-2 V8 mated to a four-speed manual transmission, and its steel bodywork wears Gordon’s #24 and “Firestorm” livery. The car rides on 15″ Aero wheels and has Brembo disc brakes, a 9″ rear axle, and Penske Racing shocks, and the driver is provided a roll cage, an ISP full-containment racing seat, an Impact Racing safety harness, a MOMO steering wheel, and AutoMeter gauges. This COT-era Impala NASCAR racer is currently set up for road course work and is now offered in Nevada with a bill of sale.

Chassis #24-678 features steel bodywork wearing the DuPont red-and-yellow “Firestorm” paint scheme from Gordon’s 2011 Sprint Cup Series season along with #24 livery and decals mimicking the Impala’s lights and grille. Exterior features include a carbon-fiber splitter, hood and trunk pins, roof flaps, NACA-style window ducts, front and rear windshield safety straps, and shark fin air deflectors. The car was previously fitted with a raised rear wing, and the wicker-style wing has been refitted.

Aero wheels are finished in black and mounted with used Goodyear Eagle racing slicks measuring 27.5×12.0–15″. Suspension is provided by A-arms with coil springs up front, truck arms with coil springs and a Panhard bar out back, and Penske Racing shocks at all four corners. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking comes from four-wheel slotted discs with Brembo calipers.

The white-painted cabin houses an integrated roll cage with door bars and an ISP full-containment seat with a black fabric cover and an Impact Racing safety harness as well as a window net, a Safecraft fire-suppression system, and a panoramic rearview mirror. An ATL fuel cell with a Richardson Racing Products filler neck resides under the decklid.

A padded MOMO steering wheel attached to a quick-release hub fronts a carbon-fiber dashboard housing an AutoMeter Spek Pro 11k-rpm tachometer with peak recall and programmable three-color LEDs for indicating near, at, or above the pit road speed limit. Additional AutoMeter instrumentation includes Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite gauges for coolant pressure and temperature, oil pressure and temperature, fuel pressure, and voltage. The car is not equipped with an odometer.

The Hendrick Motorsports 358ci SB-2 V8 is equipped with a cowl-induction airbox, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum high-rise intake manifold, and long-tube headers flowing into a dual exhaust system with a crossover and side-by-side exits on the right.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through an SR-1 four-speed manual transmission and a 9″ rear axle.

#678 – the car’s chassis number – is applied on the right of the dashboard. The car does not have a traditional VIN, nor a title, and is not legal for road use. It is being sold on a bill of sale.
