Dale debuted this paint scheme at the 1999 Brickyard 400. While most of Dale's Goodwrench cars held the GM blue logo, this special paint scheme has the logo angled across the hood in white on black in the form of a dealership sign. Dale Earnhardt raced this car at the Atlanta Motor Speedway for the "Last Race of the Century". It featured a one time only black metallic (metalflake) finish to commemorate this race. There are additional secondary sponsors but the paint scheme is distinguished by the hood.

A special paint scheme. This is the first car he ran against Dale Earnhardt Jr. in, at the exhibition race in Motegi, Japan on November 22nd, 1998 (after the regular season).

Dale drove this Lumina to his 4th of 7 eventual championships. The 1990 Lumina #3 marks the first year of four that Dale won stock car series championships driving a Chevy Lumina. This car shows the standard paint scheme in place for the 1990 racing season with the old style white border GM logo but again just with the word Goodwrench underneath the logo and Mac Tools in front of the rear wheel well. AC Delco would grace the angle frame.There are variants of this item that have Crane Cams on the front quarter panel and Western Steer on the rear quarter panel.

This was the first year of the Goodwrench Sponsorship and the beginning of the "Man in Black" tradition. It was October of this year in Charlotte that Childress unveiled the new all-black Chevrolet with the sinister #3 on the side, reflecting Earnhardt's "Intimidator" image.It took three races for Dale to earn a 3rd place standings in the points using this new scheme. This is also the first of two years in which Dale drove the Aerocoupe version of the Monte Carlo, also referred to as the Fast Back Monte Carlo.

Dale would finish this season 3rd,232 points behind champion Bill Elliot. By seasons end, he would lead over 1800 laps and he led in twenty of twenty nine races in the season. He gained 3 wins, thirteen top-5 finishes and nineteen top-10's. His efforts this year were rewarded with over one million in season earnings. Aside from being one of the only two Aerocoupe's, the difference from previous cars in that it was the more familiar Black #3. This particular paint scheme includes the GM Goodwrench logo on the hood, the GM logo on the angle frame and the Goodwrench name (not logo) on the rear deck lid. Note that the colors for the #3 logo was sometimes White and sometimes Silver.

AC Delco sponsored this paint scheme at the Suzuka 100 in Japan, November 24, 1996 (Post Season). It is a blue paint scheme car, not dissimilar to Jr's Busch Car with AC Delco the predominant sponsor. Unlike the 97 version, Action was a rear quarter panel sponsor and Snap On tools in the usual position. Japanese writing appears on the rear part of the a-frames.

1981 Wrangler #2 Pontiac: After the first 16 races with Rod Osterlund, Dale would race for the 4th (?) and last time with owner J.D. Stacy, Dale drove the 1981 Pontiac #2 car sponsored by Wrangler, at Daytona, Nashville, Pocono and at the Talladega 500 (race 20). Dale left the team in August to drive the #3 car for Richard Childress, starting at Michigan. This paint scheme is readily identifiable through the 'sergeants stripes' pattern on the hood and the fact that this is a Pontiac. Dale only drove the Pontiac in Winston Cup in the 1981 season.

This was the last year of the Wrangler sponsorship that had been with Dale since 1980. In this final year of the Wrangler primary sponsorship, Dale pulled his amazing "pass in the grass" maneuver at the annual All Star race at Charlotte in this car after 'wrestling' with Bill Elliot for several laps.This is also the car in which Dale captured his 3rd of 7 eventual championship titles. You can see that during these years, the car bodies were much closer to the street versions, with identifiable grills and headlight areas, although glass headlights had been removed by this time. This was the fastback version of the Monte Carlo. GM Goodwrench had increased its sponsorship, as can be seen by the decal on the deck lid. The window and angle frames had no sponsorship. Dale would dominate this Championship, winning by 489 points over contender Bill Elliot. This is the greatest point spread in the modern era.

1978 Cardinal Tractor. Not clear whether or not this predated the Rod Osterlund sponsored #98. As the #98 is reported as Dale's 5th car and the Belden #19 the 4th, that suggests the #96 to be Dale's 6th car. However, according to Dale Cline in "Remembering Dale Earnhardt", Dale drove in 3 races in 1978 for Will Cronkrite in a Bud Moore car, starting with the World 600 in Charlotte, prior to joining with Rod Osterlund for his rookie season. That should make the Torino his 5th NASCAR ride. This suggested that the vehicle, along with its make, uncommon to the cup, was a Busch (Grand National) car only, which would then support the #98 as the 5th Cup car.
