Hi
Guys,
The
big news this week is NASCAR!
From
SCX:
SCX
released three new NASCARS this week. They
are

62680
Dodge Charger #9 in the Dodge Dealers livery with Kasey Kahne driving
62690
Ford Fusion #17 in the Dewalt Livery with Matt Kenseth driving.
While
these cars lack the photo etched parts of their Scalextric competitors, they
have really come a long way toward nicely detailed cars.

From
Carrera:
27186
1970 Plymouth Superbird in the Petty blue #43, and
27187
1969 Ford Torino Talladega also in ‘The King’s’ favorite blue
$41.99
each
From
Monogram/Revell:
First
come two limited edition cars in beautiful slip cases with great period photos
and box art. The first is the Jaguar
E-type Sebring 1963 car #23, in a limited edition of 3000.
This white and red car put out 325+ horsepower from its 3.8 liter six and
took seventh in the Sebring race. Briggs
Cunningham drove the mate to this car to the win.
$53.99
The
next limited car is a two man Porsche Spyder that raced at Mille Miglia in 1954.
Driven to victory by the team of Hermann and Linge this race is
remembered for one incident that took place shortly after the start of the race.
While traveling at high speed the team saw a level railroad crossing
barrier lowering as they came out of a bend, Hermann floored the Porsche and the
car cleared the the lowered gate by millimeters.
Only 3500 made, $53.99
Other
cars of interest from Revell:
8397–
BMW 320 Fruit of the Loom livery driven by Peter Schneeberger in 1977 $49.00
8030

8963-
NSU TT Cup 1300 TT driven by Richard Rotzer $49.00
From
Bum:
I
am not sure of the vintage of this neat little Go Kart.
It is certainly not as sophisticated as the Ninco Go Karts but at $29.99
it looks to be a blast. Two color
combos available.
