got four of these super old womps along with a few of the riggen 1/32 similar cars (cant remember what they are called). been fixing them and this was the third one and I decided to semi restore it to original configuration how I got it. they had the Porsche bodies and one corvette. this is my factory corvette body from when I was a kid that I cleaned up and put on for fun. They are all a wreck, bent, modified etc.

this has to be from the mid 70s Im guessing?

Also has the shigoto 16d or 160d. I had to put a guide but on the spring steel press on retainer thing are horrible.

It's a stamped steel Parma "Womp Womp" Chassis and typically fitted with a Parma 16D. Your motor is the only thing pre-1980

Even those wheels are 80’s? never seen any womps with those wheels till I got this and all of them have the same wheels.

I've not seen any pre-1980 Parma wheels, but from the angle of these photos, they look like the standard Parma aluminum hubs from the 80's and 90's. That's the one and only Womp-Womp chassis and Corvette body that was available until Parma quit. All of the ones I remember had can drive motors. 3/4" cone hubs with O-rings were more typical fronts.

Better shot of the wheels.

Well if they are in the eighties they're still 40 years old. I remember my first swamp back around 1974ish, it was a little Honda Civic later to put a Open wheel Indy car body on it.

Your front wheels may have been from the limit edition "Bigfoot" womp or the Champion legends RTRs also had wide fronts. The chassis is a first gen version. The second gen chassis had the extra front axle hole for an extended wheelbase. I don't know the transition years.

Interesting. all four have the same front and rear wheels. also they have black coated axles which I thought was sorta strange. they came with two Porsche 911 bodies and a corvette (same as purple one).

That's a standard Womp Womp from the middle 70s to the late 80s.

 

I have several of them.
