2-Car Racer Tribute Pack

This Tinker exclusive two-pack celebrates the gritty spirit of stock car racing through two distinct 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air legends — both steeped in racing history and American garage-built pride.

Car #3 – "Smokey’s Best Damn Garage in Town"
Built by the legendary Smokey Yunick and driven by Paul Goldsmith, this '57 Bel Air was a NASCAR powerhouse. Goldsmith, a multi-discipline racer and Hall of Famer, took this car to the track under Smokey’s innovative wrenching. Known for bending rules to the limit, Yunick's builds were both bold and brilliant — this car being no exception. The #3 represents the fusion of raw power and clever engineering that dominated racing’s early days.

Car #2 – The Newton Family Tribute Car
The second car is a tribute to Merle Newton's original grassroots racer, restored decades later by his grandson Todd Newton in Wisconsin. In rebuilding the car, Todd preserved every torch cut, dent, and hand-fabricated feature — resisting the temptation to “over-restore.” This car captures the soul of 1960s local racing, built in a home garage and reborn as a rolling piece of family history. It’s a rare nod to authentic short-track culture.

Both models are presented in 1:64 scale with Auto World’s excellent attention to detail and mounted on their X-Traction chassis. Limited to just 1,008 units, this 2-car set is a must-have for fans of racing lore, garage-built heroes, and classic American steel.
