PICS - This car does not exist in diecast. I've always thought it was interesting.

I was wrong about the SunStar. I'm seeing YatMing and Road Legends. Brain farts here too.

At this point, might as well recreate everything! The driver, the strip, bleachers, every drag.....
...car that competed professionally between 1962-1968, flags fences, haulers, tow vehicles, emergency equipment.
Marlowe, you're greedy! You want EVERY popular '60's drag car in precision 1/18 scale. You're running wild, you're out of control....you're like Dr. Frankenstein.. I mean Dr. Oldsmobile!
You might as well craft some kind of 1/18 vintage drag racing scene. "A day at the strip." Your one-offs would garner ribbons and awards at model shows. A COMPLETE 1/18 drag racing-day at the strip-diorama would steal the show!!
At the rate you're producing, I think you'll get there even without trying. Now the real question.................
............................
............Can you fit this huge diorama into a Corvette?

Ha! I'll just concentrate on '64 - '66. Those were the most interesting years.
These are on the drawing boards. The 1965 Barracudas of Richard Petty and Tom McEwen (Plymouth Dealers) don't exist in diecast but I could fudge a bit by cheating and use the '66. They wouldn't be historically correct but very close. Also, there is no way I'd do all of them. I'd have to pick and choose which ones I REALLY, REALLY want. 😉

What I'd like to do but can't because the models do not exist in 1:18 scale diecast:
