Wimmer ran all three of these back in 2011. I bought these from a friend and got a great deal. The #03 was a road course car, that is why there is black over the fuel filler.

Awesome! As a big Wimmer fan, it's cool seeing these, and it's the first time I've seen any of these in diecast form. Sweet!

My friend who I got them from is also a big Wimmer fan, but he is selling off all his Wimmer stuff. I would venture to say, these may be the only ones in existence, especially since he parked the #03 and #82. Plus the going price of a 1/24th Challenger. I can hardly even find pictures of the real cars.

I remember him racing those cars, especially the 03, where it was a start and park effort. Sad time in Wimmer's career. He decided to quit racing in NASCAR rather than start and park. Gotta admire his integrity.

Yeah, it is very unfortunate, I would honestly say he might just be the most overlooked/underrated race car driver in NASCAR, period.
