Yes, specifically a Shadow MKI, like this;
I'm really unsure if Anyone actually makes a version of this now, ... although perhaps Victor of 'Truescale' may have.
There may be NOS ones around and available. From recollection I think they may have been available from Dynamic .... but I may very well be wrong

I discovered an earlier Slotblog discussion on the Shadow Can-Am (http://slotblog.net/...an-am-slot-car/). Lancer made the original Mk 1 body in 1970, produced only a few to see if it would be popular, and it worked poorly and wasn't. It wasn't produced in any quantity. It appears Truescale made have created one, but it also appears to not have been popular. It's certainly not available now unless a rare one shows up in some sale. The original Can-Am car changed dramatically each season, and one of the later body designs was more popular for slot car bodies.

Thank you that helps a lot. I guess tracking down one may be an issue.
I may go with something similar.
