While doing a bit of organizing I found these Indy car bodies.

I believe the Pactra bodies are labeled correctly? But the Lancers I am not sure about.

 

The body on the left has a labeled Lancer #124 Novi 1/24

 

Next body Lancer #85 Indy STP Special 1/24

 

then Pactra #52 Kurtis Indy Roadster 1/24

 

Last on the right Pactra #53 Kurtis Indy Roadster 1/24

 

Are these labeled correctly?

 

Identification would be appreciated. Thanks.

The body with the Kurtis Indy Roadster label is actually a  #124 Lancer Novi

The body second from the left has the wrong label too. That label belongs with the Lancer Indy STP Special on the left.

Thank you Rick. There are two Kurtis Indy Roadster Lables can you tell me which one is wrong? # 52 or #53.

Is one of the two bodies on the left the Kurtis Indy Roadster?

I will follow your instructions and take another pic.

The  bodies will be in the same place and will move the labels. Strange Pactra called 2 bodies the same name. The orange label is #52

the blue # 53. But both called KURTIS INDY ROADSTER.

So this makes sense to me. Both Pactra bodies are Kurtis's, they are almost identical except one has a side tank.

 

Thanks for identifying the the Lancer Novi. Nice build BTW.

 

I still not sure about the Lancer #85 INDY STP SPECIAL? I will do a bit of searching.

This is a good candidate for the Lancer #85 INDY STP SPECIAL.

Remeber #85 is an early Lancer number so maybe a 1965 car which I believe these pics are?
