Why would anyone want to drive a mobile billboard?

Let's do the math....a 2010 C6.....$40,000 add $39,900 worth of gaudy decals and what do you have?? A 2010 C6 signed by Teresa Earnhart......PRICELESS!!!

Yes, Dale Did drive a Corvette during his NASCAR tenure. He drove for the Corvette Race team.

I spoke to the Charlotte dealer to list my 2010 Dale Earnhardt Hall of Fame Camaro #9 of 10. Him and I could not agree on a listing price. Later he emails me about this Corvette that is a Hall of Fame car. Well I disagree what it is. It was a promotional car for parades and I feel it was used to promote the Earnhardt Foundation since the decals are all over it... Well My Hall of Fame Camaro's #8 & #9 of 10 were built in HONOR of Dale going into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Below is a pic of the #8 of 10 at the National Corvette Museum. I was asked to bring the car there by a Member of the Corvette Race team in honor of Dale. This car is worth way more than that promotional corvette will ever be many times over. This #8 of 10 was THE only car made differently on the invoice . I specifically ask to have it built like Dales 1995 Signature series Camaro's in which he built 7 for his 7 championships. The Dealership agreed to do the checkered flag interior like the cars Dale built. It also has a Hurst Shifter invoiced also in 2010. It currently has 16 miles on it.

Lesser known, but no less publicized is this one of one 2010 Hall of Fame Corvette. Built to be used as a parade vehicle for the staff of both Dale Earnhardt Incorporated and The Dale Earnhardt Foundation, it made appearances at holiday parades around Charlotte and was driven by the Earnhardt family to Dale’s May 2010 induction into the inaugural class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

Later! Frank
Nuff said, to promote DEI and the Earnhardt Foundation. They could have kept it and used it during Charity events. I have met Kerry, Taylor, Martha and spoke on the phone to Dale's brother Randy. All great folks. Actually Kerry told me the Hall of Fame Camaro's were a last moment whim to build. Well that whim did me good.

It's similar to a Pace car edition...it has zero appeal for me. To each their own though.

Someone mentioned thankfully there is only one. I say perhaps one is too many!
