This car is something that my dad had back then, did they ever make a slot car of this model? If you got one let me know.

Nesta,
Happy to help if and where possible.
There is a resin kit here, but its a bit pricey @ $38.00.
I'll keep an eye open as I like the little buggers too.

Not overly thrilled about them. 1968 SS Hemi car would be better or even better would be 1970 or 1971
I guess if you insist on doing one than you could do a 43jr?

I sure it's not for sale? But if you run into one can you think of me? I really just need the body.
Small thing for you but a big thing for me.

Nesta,
In these days, E-Pay is IT. Search it on a weekly basis and stay at it, and you will find one. It probably won't be in a box like the one above because such mint kits are rather scarce, but there are plenty of loose examples. They came with at least 3 different chassis, the most desirable being a 2-piece brass job with a TC32 motor, a chromed can with blue endbell.

I'm wondering exactally what scale they are as it says -
Just about O-Gauge, this could easily become a 1/32 to 1/43 scale Slot Car.
Looks like he has 8 on hand. Is this the one you bought?
It isn't a '65 it says that they are 1964. I don't recall if the grill and tail lights are different in them. I know that the 65 and 66 are different.

Nesta, that looks good, but keep in mind that it's probably 1:43 scale going by their description;
"Inside Dimension (ID) of the body is 4 & 1/8 inches by 1 & 1/2 inches (4 1/8" x 1 1/2".)"
My rough K&B one is 5-3/16" x 1-7/8".

Steve all I can say is OPS..but I think you are right. Not that much for a chance to get a Cuda to make a 1:32 race car.
Hopefully I get lucky next time?
Yes the 1966 Cuda had a flat grill and square bottom taillights, 65 had round bottom taillights and the front grill was curved if I remember right?
