NASCAR History | Cale Yarborough’s 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass

Описание: This 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass isn’t a tribute, a replica, or a recreation. It’s a championship-winning NASCAR driven by Cale Yarborough to his third consecutive NASCAR Winston Cup Series title in 1978.

Built by Banjo Matthews for the legendary Junior Johnson & Associates team, this car represents one of the most dominant eras in NASCAR history. It later spent three years on display as part of the NASCAR Hall of Fame Museum’s Glory Road Champions exhibit curated by Dale Earnhardt Jr., before being refurbished in the early 2000s by crew chief Travis Carter.

Today, the car remains fully functional and competition-ready, powered by a 358 CI SB2 V-8 with dry-sump lubrication, Brodix cylinder heads, and a Jerico 4-speed manual transmission. It’s currently set up for road course racing and claimed an Enduro Class win at the SVRA Championships at Circuit of the Americas in 2014. It has also been shown at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, further underscoring its significance both on track and on display.

The conversation centers on the car’s racing pedigree, the people and moments that shaped its history, and why the time has come to find this machine its next caretaker before it crosses the auction block on Thursday, January 15 at Mecum Kissimmee 2026.
