While all of those are common ways fans have shown their support, nothing would convey a fan's passion for the four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion than owning one of his race-winning cars.\u00a0That's the opportunity available for one lucky fan and the highest bidder on the <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/hendrick-motorsports-set-take-domination-2023-nascar-season-another-level\/\">Hendrick Motorsports<\/a> No. 24 car in an online auction that closes on Sept. 13.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jeff-gordon-2002-car-available-for-purchase-in-auction\">Jeff Gordon 2002 car available for purchase in auction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NASCAR Classic Full Race: Jeff Gordon vs. Rusty Wallace, Round 2 : 2002 Bristol Motor Speedway\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jlbQiBHCFBA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeff Gordon won his fourth and final championship in 2001. A year later, he won three times and finished fourth in the points standings. His first trip to Victory Lane that season came in the second race at <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/jeff-gordon-expensive-emotional-outburst-bristol-motor-speedway-after-being-spun-out-matt-kenseth-2006\/\">Bristol Motor Speedway<\/a>, the Sharpie 500, where the No. 24 battled with Rusty Wallace in the race's closing laps, eventually taking the lead and holding off the Penske car for the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That Dupont Chevrolet is now available for any Gordon fan to bid on in an online auction at <a href=\"https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/listing\/2002-chevrolet-monte-carlo-31\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bringatrailer.com<\/a>. The listing identifies the race car as being built from components used by Hendrick Motorsports during the 2002 Winston Cup and Busch Series seasons, and the body, from chassis #2449, which was nicknamed &#8220;Beetlejuice,&#8221; was used on a car driven by Gordon to victory at Bristol in August 2002. It was then removed and installed on the current chassis.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It features the multi-color Dupont flame livery and is powered by a 358ci V8 mated to a Tex Racing four-speed manual transmission and a locking differential. Equipment includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>15\u2033 Aero wheels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roof flaps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A rear spoiler<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A roll cage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A fixed racing seat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wilwood disc brakes with an adjustable proportioning valve<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, the car sold on the same site in November 2022 for $44,000, and it is now offered by the selling dealer in Wisconsin with HMS certificates of authenticity, extra wheels, spare parts, a fuel can, storage dollies, and a bill of sale. The current bid is $24,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The car is not legal for road use and does not have a title.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-gordon-cars-sold-online-in-the-past\">Other Gordon cars sold online in the past<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Special thanks to my partners @northamericanmotorcar <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AP7gP8odMu\">https:\/\/t.co\/AP7gP8odMu<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ray evernham (@RayEvernham) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RayEvernham\/status\/1352407617503637504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 22, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the current car up for sale was also on the auction block a year ago, that wasn't the first time one of Gordon's cars has been available on the site.
