1997 Dale Earnhardt Hood For Auction

Want a piece of a Daytona 500 raced car? How about a piece of a car that Dale Earnhardt drove? What about a piece of the car that Dale Earnhardt wrecked?

If you've done the math, you know I'm talking about the black Monte Carlo that Dale Earnhardt drove in the 1997 Daytona 500. The one he got back in and finished the race in when he realized the wheels were still on it!

After the race, the hood of the car was signed by Childress & McReynolds. The hood stayed in RCR until it ended up in the private collection Charles Ross, who's amassed a great deal of Earndardt stuff. Wha? Someone has more Sr. stuff than I do?

Now Ross is auctioning off the hood along with the rest of his 'stuff' from his collection.

He's using Go Motor Bids to do it and they will be auctioning off his collection, a piece at a time.

At the moment, the auction is up to $5750, but it's still got a week to go. I bet it gets up there a little bit more than that before this is all over.

Go check it out over at GoMotorBids and have some fun!
