Action Racing Collectables 1:24 Scale Todd Bodine #35 Tabasco Pontiac Grand Prix

This is a detailed die-cast model representing Todd Bodine’s #35 Tabasco-sponsored Pontiac Grand Prix from the late 1990s NASCAR Winston Cup Series (likely 1998). The model is a 1:24 scale replica featuring a heavy die-cast metal body with a high-gloss paint job utilizing a distinctive red-to-black gradient scheme with yellow and orange flame accents along the rocker panels. The hood prominently displays the McElhenny Co. Tabasco logo, while the roof and doors feature the number 35 in a bold white font with dark outlines. Notable features include high-quality Goodyear Eagle branded rubber tires mounted on black aero-style wheels, a detailed black plastic interior roll cage, and aerodynamic spoilers. The car sits atop its original commemorative red packaging which bears the 'Action' logo and Todd Bodine's facsimile signature in gold. Regarding condition, the car appears well-preserved with no significant paint chips or decal silvering visible from the profile view, though the box shows minor shelf wear at the corners and edges. The craftsmanship is consistent with late-90s Action Performance products, known for steerable front wheels and opening hood mechanics. This specific livery is iconic among racing collectors due to the storied 'Tabasco Fiasco' era of ISM Racing.
