In truth the tshirt was created very recently for the '13 edition of the Mint 400, the largest offroad race in the US. The designer/artist who made up the shirt is one Rory Ward who is a huge fan of old school offroad racing and competes in the vintage class in NORRA events. As you can tell by the artwork he is also a big fan of Dave Deal and what I would call a 1960's vibe of vehicle artwork.
Rory Ward did the design work for the original Team Xterra Racing tshirt that I worked up and was selling a few years ago. I will have to see if I can track down a photo of one and/or the original design artwork which I have framed in my basement. Rory does excellent work and with this Mint 400 tshirt he has gone back and included a drawing of a classic Nissan Hardbody which was typically run by the Mears boys back in the mid-80s. Really cool to see an oldschool Nissan on a tshirt like this and for only $10 it would make a great stocking stuffer for any Nissan fan!
