It was around 1970 that new Trans Am slot car bodies by Lancer went on sale at Oakland Speedway. We discussed a new Trans Am class with 4 1/4" wheelbase slot cars. I purchased a Camaro body and a Javelin body. I completed both bodies into cars back then.
I decided to recreate/restore my Javelin. Here it is. The Classic/Mabuchi can motor has an NCC Group 20 armature and Mura magnets. The wheelbase is 4 1/4", and the rear tires edge to edge are 3" wide. Champion chassis pieces were used on the chassis.
The Trans Am class did not catch on locally. 4 1/2" wheelbase stock cars were preferred.
Next up is recreating/restoring the Camaro.
