Although this 2003 Ford Taurus NASCAR replica appears to be ready for the Daytona 500, it can be driven on the street.
The last sentence of this NASCAR racer's Barrett-Jackson Auction ad mentions that it may not be emission compliant in all 50 states. This professionally-built, tube-frame chassis Ford Taurus is promoted as being 'road legal,' and incorporates LED headlights and taillights, indicators, windscreen wiper, and external mirrors as a copy of Dale Jarrett's UPS stock car. There's even a cup holder and a passenger seat.
Dale Jarrett finished 26th out of 71 starters in the 2003 NASCAR season. His #88 UPS vehicle won the second round at Rockingham Speedway in North Carolina, and he finished 25 races out of 36 starts, with 49 laps in the lead and seven top-ten finishes.
The 2003 Ford Taurus NASCAR is up for grabs with no reserve and will be auctioned off at Barrett Jackson Palm Beach on April 7-9, 2022.
The automobile has a 6.8-liter V8 engine, a four-speed manual transmission, and has rear-wheel drive. Cars were limited to 5.8-liter engines during this period of NASCAR racing, yet these produced roughly 850hp and 745Nm.
The car also has 275/60R15 Goodyear Eagle rear tires, which provide adequate grip.
