$80K Buys the Dale Earnhardt Jr. 'Big Red' 2007 Chevy Silverado
January 19, 2009
By Benson Kong
"Big Red" is an off-road pickup-truck concept built to tackle any type of terrain and named after NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s personal Silverado. Based on the heavy-duty Chevy Silverado line, "Big Red" is powered by a 380-hp 6.2L V-8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Assisting "Big Red" out on the trails is a Rancho 4-in. suspension lift, front and rear Eaton E-Locker differentials, and custom 20-in. wheels wrapped in meaty 37-in. rubber. Buffed custom bodywork gives "Big Red" its unique appearance.
At the 2009 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, "Big Red" went to the winning bidder for $80,000, plus a 10% buyer's premium.
