Now, for NASCAR fans and collectors alike, there’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of that legendary history. Hendrick Motorsports, in partnership with Iron Horse Auction Co., is auctioning off more than 3,000 items, offering a treasure trove of race-used memorabilia, cars, and equipment.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan of Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, or the current face of NASCAR, Chase Elliott, this auction gives you the chance to own something special that ties directly to the heart of the sport. From race-ready cars to chassis, transmission parts, and even a few odds and ends that could fit perfectly in your garage, the items up for grabs represent iconic moments in the sport’s evolution.

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a piece of a NASCAR Cup Series car, this auction is for you. One of the crown jewels of the collection is the HMS #659 Gen 6 Chassis, which is currently sitting at a starting bid of $17,750.

 

This is the closest thing to a race-ready car you’ll find in the auction—meaning that if you have the budget and the ambition, you could technically get behind the wheel and race it yourself (just, you know, maybe upgrade a few parts first). If this isn’t in your price range, don’t worry. There are more affordable options like the 2019-2020 Alex Bowman chassis, which is listed for just $2,300. While it lacks a drivetrain, it’s still a prime foundation for someone looking to put together a custom race car, or perhaps even start their own ARCA team.

What’s your perspective on:

Is owning a Jeff Gordon chassis the ultimate fan dream, or just a pricey dust collector?

Have an interesting take?

For those less interested in the full car, there are other auction items that could spark the imagination. If you’ve ever wanted to practice NASCAR tire changes in your own garage, you’re in luck—there are tire changers available to help make that dream come true. You can even snag a simulator pod (designed like Jimmy Johnson’s #48 car) for as low as $1,600 if you’re looking to immerse yourself in the racing world from the comfort of your own home. And for those seeking something a little more down-to-earth, there’s an entire collection of Camaro body parts for under $15, making it easy to grab a piece of the iconic car that’s been at the forefront of NASCAR’s history.

What really makes this auction special is the connection to NASCAR’s legends, from Jeff Gordon’s iconic chassis to Chase Elliott’s race-used equipment. Owning something that was part of one of the sport’s most successful teams adds a unique, almost intangible value to these items.

 

And undoubtedly, Hendrick Motorsports is more than just a team—it’s a brand that’s earned its place in the NASCAR Hall of Fame. As the auction draws to a close on January 27, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to snag something that might not just sit in your garage but could be proudly displayed as a testament to the drivers and teams who’ve made NASCAR what it is today.

Simulators, Chassis, and the garage sale that’s got it all

For collectors, the allure of vintage NASCAR parts can be irresistible. The auction is loaded with items that might seem like they belong in the garage of a serious mechanic—or even a professional race team—but that’s what makes it so exciting. Whether you’re building your own race car from scratch or just looking for unique memorabilia, there’s something for everyone.

Consider the Jimmie Johnson #48 rolling chassis, which is currently available for just $801. It’s a steal for anyone wanting to get their hands on a solid piece of NASCAR history, even if it needs a bit of TLC to get it race-ready. But maybe you’re not looking to rebuild a car. If that’s the case, you can dive into a variety of race car parts that are sure to excite any fan of the sport. Things like coil springs, fuel pumps, and even an aluminum splitter table (because who wouldn’t want a piece of NASCAR’s aerodynamic tech sitting in their office?).

And for those with a deeper budget, you can bid on items like Chevy R7 engine parts or pneumatic brakes, which would be perfect for anyone seriously getting into the world of race car building or sim racing. The collection is truly vast, offering everything from cool-down rigs to front fascias from NASCAR’s Gen 6 Camaro bodies, just in case you need a spare for your own collection. It’s an auction that would probably confuse the best of the collectors to choose their top picks.
