About the 1988 Kodak NASCAR
According to the listing, the Kodak NASCAR was “built by Hutcherson-Pagan Enterprises and is said to have been refurbished sometime during previous ownership. Power is from a 358ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and the car features steel bodywork finished in a #4 Kodak livery.”
This is a legit retired NASCAR, complete with a roll cage, a single fixed bucket seat, a fire suppression system, and more. The listing also notes that the car sports disk brakes, a rear spoiler, and polished wheels.

The racing team Morgan–McClure Motorsports picked up the Kodak sponsorship in 1986 and soon after signed driver Rick Wilson, who would go on to drive this particular model.
Since its heyday on the circuit, the car has had a bit of work done. And in its current state, it’ll likely need some elbow grease before cruising the track again. The seller notes that in addition to some areas of cracking body filler, “the engine has not been started in several years, and [he] advises that the gaskets and piston rings be checked before any attempt is made.”
What you get if you win
The lot also comes with a spiffy set of pit crew uniforms, various extra parts (including a spare seatbelt), an extra set of wheels and tires, a car cover, and of course, the bill of sale. You also get other Kodak NASCAR memorabilia including racing flags, maps of various tracks, paperwork related to actual races, and a supercool February 1987 issue of Stock Car Racing with this exact car on the cover.
The wrap
As mentioned, the current high bid on the Kodak NASCAR is $11,000 with five days to go. No word on how high the bidding could go but given the lot appeals to a combination of camera nerds, NASCAR fans, and automotive geeks, we suspect it’ll climb up there.
The car is located in Westfield, Indiana, and will need to be picked up (bring a trailer). If you do win it, please give us a shout, info@popphoto.com.
