Lets go racing! Win on Sunday, sell on Monday! (pics)

My favorite race cars are the Trans Am race cars from the late 60's through early 70's.
I am waiting for the 1970 Trans Am Cuda from Spark.... I think there is also a '71 Javelin expected.

Excellent examples form the era when the racers looked & were like the cars you could buy.

It is impressive that you own the #2 Camaro.

Why is that Frank? Are they a limited run? I still have the plinth and original packaging.

When I first started collecting 1/43. I would take the cars off the plinth to save room in the display cabinet, but quickly realized it is safer to handle a model that is on a plinth.

I also have the missing hood tie-down cable. I don't know if I should try to re-attach it BEFORE my nightly glass of bourbon, or after.... What do you think Dennis? 😄

Here's the '69 Penske Camaro by Spark.

A Bud Moore/P. Jones '69 Mustang is on the way to me as I type. And Replicarz is to be making several T-A Javelins.

Probably why NASCAR is losing fan base these days.

I stopped watching Nascar when they went to molded bodies...then I watched Iroc, but that ended.
