Some cars did have names; this is actually helpful because say a team owner had five cars and offloaded one, you know which one was offloaded because of its name.

Divine – #01 Oldsmobile named after Divine Brown, the woman who was busted with Hugh Grant in the 90s.
Rusty – #01 Monte Carlo was named that because it had surface rust when it came from the United States.
Dagwood – The #75 Neil Bonnett driven winner was named after a comic book.
Destiny – Reportedly the #23 or #24 Oldsmobile turned into the #2 Lumina driven by Ian Thomas.
History of the car is muddled as it was reportedly killed in a wreck and was given new clips and a Monte Carlo body despite Fastrack having a Lumina with the Destiny switch plate.

Intrepid – Oldsmobile driven by Ian Thomas, John Faulkner, Eddie Abelnica, Paul Stocker and Doug Moss.
Bubba – Brad Jones’ #8 Lumina (ex-Jeff Gordon)
Kevin – Brad Jones’ #8 Monte Carlo, the only Monte Carlo that Brad Jones had.
Elroy – Brad Jones’ #8 Lumina (ex-Cope), Brad Jones’ first Stock Car.

George – Named after George Jetson, this car was built by Race Cars & Engines before it was brought by NASTRAK, it ended up being Brad Jones’ ride car, it then later became Kim Jane’s #27 ride car and after a few owners, it is now the #3 Chevrolet Lumina owned by Richard White.

Charlie – ex-Chad Little Ford Thunderbird turned into Charlie O’Brien’s #15 before it became Gene Cook’s racing winning #41 and was later driven by Mick Heppleston before being purchased by Phil Muffet, the car won at Calder Park Raceway in 2025.
Elvis – #2 Ian Thomas Lumina, reportedly one of the two original Oldsmobiles, won a race with Kevin Schwantz at Oran Park.
