This 2008 Ford Fusion NASCAR was formerly used by Wood Brothers Racing as a pit practice car. It is based on a Ron Hopkins Engineering chassis built in the mid-1980s, and power comes from a 350ci crate motor backed by a TH350 automatic transmission. The seller acquired this example around one year ago and performed a full fluid change and inspection before competing in a GoodGuys autocross in 2016. Stored in a covered trailer since, the car is said to be operational but lacking proper safety equipment. This pit practice NASCAR is now being sold on a bill of sale with a small collection of spares.

The body is a non-competition variant of the 2008 Ford Fusion “Car of Tomorrow” NASCAR, wearing the #21 Motorcraft livery used by Bill Elliott in his final season. It has been modified from race configuration, utilizing reinforced fenders along with a cosmetic front splitter and rear spoiler. The car lacks cowl and roof flaps, but it is equipped with a Lexan windscreen and rear window. The seller notes few nicks and scratches in the finish.

The tube chassis was built in the mid-1980s for use in the Winston Cup series. According to a Wood Brothers representative, the chassis was campaigned by Wood Brothers Racing and driven by Elliott Sadler at some point. 15×9″ steel racing wheels are currently shod with Goodyear Race Eagle racing slicks.

The cockpit retains a competition configuration with a full roll cage. The seller states that interior equipment would require an update for competition use, and fire suppression is currently not equipped.

A basic low-backed seat and older belts were used for pit practice. The NASCAR seat mounts and interior bars are said to be intact and unmodified.

The 350ci V8 crate motor features a Holley carburetor and Edelbrock hi-rise intake manifold, and it is backed by a TH350 automatic transmission. The rear end is said to have a 3.64 final drive ratio and open differential with 31-spline rear axles.

A small fuel cell with a filler neck has been mounted in the trunk, which required one bar to be cut out according to the seller. A water tank used for refueling practice is fitted in the place of a standard fuel tank, and the filler opening at the driver’s rear fender has been disconnected.

The suspension set up is contemporaneous with the 1980s chassis and employs a trailing link rear suspension with a Panhard rod and live rear axle. Steel-bodied Bilstein shocks can be re-valved for different racing applications, while the braking system features Outlaw calipers in front and Wilwood in the rear, with vented rotors on a single master cylinder system.
