Want to own a piece of NASCAR History? Gordon’s Iconic #24 is Live at eBay

Every once in a while, something crosses my inbox that makes me pause, grin, and think, “Oh, this is special.” If you’re a racing fan, a collector, or someone who simply appreciates the thrill of American motorsports, this one is worth a moment of your day.

Because right now — yes, right now — a real piece of NASCAR history is up for grabs.

And not just any piece. We’re talking about Jeff Gordon’s iconic No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet Impala SS, the flame‑kissed powerhouse that helped define an era of racing and cemented Gordon as one of the sport’s living legends.

Meet the Car: The 2009 No. 24 “Firestorm”

According to the release shared with me, this isn’t a replica or a tribute car. It’s the actual one that Gordon drove — a 2009 Hendrick Motorsports Car of Tomorrow (COT), chassis #544, that competed at Infineon Raceway and Watkins Glen during the 2009 Cup season.

A few standout details:

  • Powered by a Hendrick‑built 5.8L V8 pushing a wild 789 horsepower
  • One of the last highly collectible carbureted NASCAR race cars
  • Fully restored, recently serviced, and race‑ready
  • Wrapped in the unforgettable red‑and‑orange DuPont flame livery
  • Nicknamed “Firestorm” for its bold, era‑defining design

If you grew up watching Sunday races, cheering for at the screen, this car is a going to bring on the nostalgia in the best possible way.

Why This Listing Matters

Authentic, race‑driven NASCAR vehicles — especially from the Hendrick stable — rarely hit the open market. When they do, they’re usually tucked into private collections before most fans even know they were available.

But this one? It’s publicly listed on eBay and offered through eBay’s Secure Purchase program, which adds an extra layer of confidence for serious buyers and ensures that you get exactly what you expect.

Whether you’re a collector, a motorsports enthusiast, or someone who loves the idea of owning a piece of American racing culture, this is a unicorn waiting to be enjoyed.

A Fun Thought

Imagine pulling up to school pickup in a Jeff Gordon race car. Would I love it? 1200% Would it be practical? Absolutely not. Would it be legendary? Without question.

But even if you’re not in the market to buy, there’s a remarkable bit of joy that arises when you see pieces of sports history resurface — especially ones tied to icons who shaped the way we watch and love the sport today.
