Buddy Baker's "Gray Ghost" was a ninja with an engine. The silver and gray #28 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 sliced through the field and blew by the race leaders without them ever seeing it coming.
The car was so stealthy and so fast, that Baker wheeled the "Gray Ghost" to a win from the pole in the 1980 Daytona 500 and set a record average speed of 177.602 mph while doing it. That Daytona record still stands today. After his competitors complained the car's paint job gave Baker an unfair advantage because it blended into the Daytona asphalt, NASCAR required the team to add Day-Glo strips to the front of his car.
Now, for the very first time, Lionel NASCAR Collectables is excited to offer the hood-open, trunk-open diecast of the infamous "Gray Ghost".
