1970 Nichels Engineering Plymouth Superbird #5 / Bobby Unser/ Ltd Edition 1,008

Red

Bobby Unser is one of the greatest race car drivers in American history. Beginning with his winning the Indianapolis 500 on 3 separate occasions (1968, 1975, 1981) and being the first driver ever to go over the 190 mile per hour mark at Indianapolis, Unser's racing career can only be described as stellar.

In his 2nd year driving for Ray Nichels, Bobby was seated in the #5 Nichels Engineering 1970 Plymouth Superbird. With his stock car schedule limited due to his Indycar racing commitments, Unser's superb racing skills were evident as he qualified the Nichels Engineering #5 Plymouth Superbird never lower than 3rd spot on the grid, earning 4 poles in just 8 races.

Unser piloted Nichels Engineering stock cars for three seasons, from 1971-1973, winning races and always running with the leaders while competing in USAC sanctioned events against some of the greatest race car drivers in America.
