Darlington Throwbacks 2017

[StandOnIt]

Yeah but if you see, the cars don't looi ANYTHING like each other. Unless you want to tell me these look the same.

Visual proof is a weakness tho like you said.

 

[Blaze]

Then why didn't they post a picture of THAT car with it? That's all on them for the way they announced it.

 

[JGR_20]

Kinda like a modern day hybrid of the two schemes. But I thought of Gordon first, probably cause JG was the first time I saw the car.

I thought JG too, one of the first non Earnhardt die casts I got as a kid.

Haha we have been trying to show you this the entire time hahaha

 

[StandOnIt]

Well my bad when I saw it the first time you showed me I just came back from a funeral. So wasn't exactly able to see correctly.

If it is any consolation, you had plenty company believing that it really was Jeff's car.

To be fair others said it before I did also.

That paint scheme makes me want to go down to a Carolina Ford Dealer and check out their selection of new Tempos, Probes, and Aerostars.

while you are at it, pop on down to the Buick dealer and get me a couple Buick GNX's, i need to blow the doors off of a Lambo.

The GNX allegedly only had 276 hp, but rumor is that Buick grossly understated the horsepower figures for insurance purposes.

 

[ToyYoda]

Haha golden age of Ford's

To be fair, they were also making the Mustang GT, the supercharged Thunderbird, Taurus SHO, and full-size Bronco at the time, all of which were pretty cool.

One of my all time dream cars.

Buick GNX is my all time favorite car

General Motors in their slide to complete dumbassery put that turbo motor in a Firebird. The stupid part? they only made 1500. Couldn't get one, all spoken for. That should have been their first sign.

Yep, that was the 20th Anniversary Trans-Am I believe.

 

[jws926]

This isn't the carbon dated 500, it's just a fun deal, something different, ya know like a costume party?

But it is, this year is suppose from the mid 70's to the mid 80's, so the teams should find paint schemes to fit in that time period, yeah its for fun and I sure as hell enjoying seeing them.

 

[jws926]

Not to sound like I'm complaining but one of the annoying parts about the whole throwback schemes is the track and the Telecast tries to do one certain era of throwback like this year's like the late 80s so it would just be kind of nice to see a little bit more consistency out of the paint schemes that actually would be from that time. Instead of seeing things from the sixties to the nineties...

I agree with this, the teams should stick with the era that the track is doing, but its still fun either way.

Or 85-89, my bad, last year it was mid 70's-80's I got it mixed up.

1989 Turbo Trans Am right? It's White with gold interior?

 

[Kiante]

This is awesome: (Penske missed out on this one)

This will be the best one this year. Everyone else can stop trying.

The Corvette Parts Ford painted up like a Buick. I like it.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Approved.

Beautiful car. But glad brad is in rustys mgd

 

[Blaze]

Nah, it will be the best one next year if they can come how get Miller on Ryan Blaney for one race and do this car for him.

Then we can have the right number, and sponsor as well. A true throwback. .

 

[JGR_20]

So glad so many sponsors are cooperating with teams for this darlington race each year. Most are probably compromising their exposure for this race just so colors and design on the car can tip the hat to years past. I'm sure it's not an easy sell for all. But glad to see so many beautiful cars...

Is it me or does Bobby's car have a metallic shine paint & the #32 is just matte gold?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Approved. View attachment 28359

Do they really have the registered trademark symbol on the hood for NAPA?

 

[AdoubleU24]

Lol did you expect them to leave it bare? They at least made it blue

I think it's clean, and it won't look as baby blue in reality I don't think

I think he's talking about the little r in the circle not the logo itself.

It's just a rendering so it's hard to tell what it'll look like in person

Damn I didn't even catch that haha

 

[Blaze]

Damn I didn't even catch that haha

I didn't either until he mentioned it and even then took me looking at it a couple times to see it.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Still don't get why Penske and Miller trotted out the same MGD throwback that ran a couple of years ago at Michigan. Kudos to Go Fas for bringing out the High Life.
