Description:
I have been trying to get this diecast for two years now, and I finally friggen' HAVE IT!
It was produced in VERY limited numbers as part of the 2002 "Racing Champions Motorsports" series...
Tim Flock's 1955 Chrysler C-300 stock car, with which he won both the Daytona Beach road race AND the Nascar championship for that year. |

This is the only time his 1955 Chrysler was produced in diecast form... Team Caliber DID produce his #300-A 1956 Chrysler in diecast form, of which I also have, but it's just not the same http://photo.ricecop.com/pics/timflock56.jpg .
Interesting story about Tim Flock, he actually RETIRED from racing in 1954, after winning the '52 Championship with the Fabulous Hudson Hornet (I have a diecast of that car too ^_^ ), but Carl Kiekhaefer, who was fielding a "Super Team" for the '55 season sponsored by his company, Mercury Outboards, needed drivers to fill the seats of his numerous Hemi-powered Dodges and Chryslers... during qualifying for the 1955 Daytona Beach race, he found Tim sitting in the stands as a spectator, and made him an offer to drive... from the description, you can see what happened after that. Tim won the '56 Daytona Beach race too, in the 300-A Chrysler.

Sort of funny that it says "Mercury" on the side.
