Vintage 1980s Lil' John Lombardo Funny Car New Old Stock T-Shirt

Straight out of Southern California drag racing history.

This original vintage Lil' John Lombardo Funny Car T-shirt is a genuine piece of 1980s motorsports memorabilia, featuring legendary independent Funny Car racer John "Lil' John" Lombardo and his iconic Lil' John Auto Parts race car. Known throughout the NHRA and match-racing scene, Lombardo built a reputation as one of drag racing's most respected independent competitors, campaigning Funny Cars across California and the country during the golden era of nitro.

Printed on a classic Hanes Beefy-T blank and preserved in its original packaging for decades, this New Old Stock (NOS) shirt showcases a detailed graphic of Lombardo's black Funny Car on the front and the original Lil' John Auto Parts shop advertisement on the back, complete with the Arleta, California address.

A rare find for NHRA collectors, vintage racing enthusiasts, drag racing historians, and anyone who appreciates authentic automotive culture.
