Tracing the ownership history of the 51 Days of Thunder Mello Yello car and updates on others

I got a phone call from the son of a previous owner of the 51 Mello Yello car detailing some of its actual history plus we do an update on the 27 Miller Genuine Draft Pontiac, and a sneak peak on what else I’ll be covering in future releases. #nascar #coletrickle #daysofthunder #rustywallace #winstoncup

In the fall of 1990, it was at the Indiana County Fair in Indiana, Pennsylvania. I remember it being hidden in an enclosed tent and a sign saying get a picture with a Days of Thunder movie used car. My dad paid the $5 for me to get a polaroid picture standing next to it. I have that picture somewhere; I'll look for it. Even at 12 years old, I remember the car body looking a little odd and not looking like the Chevrolet Lumina NASCAR race cars on TV.

I’d love to see it. I think they basically fixed it in their garage the best they could

[@user-nj3rn9jq5v]

I'll def. look for it.@@coorsbandit5212

[@richdiscoveries]

That's some awesome information on that car.
That is the wonders of the internet and CZcams. You can reach people that are looking for or know something about anything, and they can be on the other side of the world. That's awesome, I love it.

Yep. He said they moved to Clearwater in ‘92 and sold the car around 1995

Very cool. Lots of people (not you, you prob know) don't even realize that when Days of Thunder came out in June of '90, GM had Chevrolet, Pontiac, Olds & Buick on the NASCAR circuit.@@coorsbandit5212
