These look like scratch built ones except for the bottom front pan? Has anyone seen these?

You can't see stealth scratch-builts. Suppose it's the paint? :sarcastic_hand:

Perhaps it's from Wonder Woman... after all, she had an invisible jet.

Looks like one is powered by a Pittman 196A. Are they all powered by open frame motors.

Those cars are out of one of the arcade slot car machines; why they have guide and rear pin to keep them from spinning and de-slotting.

Good point Brad; only question is, which one? There was an Indy 500 arcade game, but don't remember seeing these cars offhand... time for a search! 

 

That looks more like the 196B Bill...

PS: maybe AMF's Little Indy? Photos not too clear on the cars...

Wait a minute, where's the screen & PC ? Just what kinda arcade game is this? And, how many laps do you have to do before it goes invisible?

In the thread " AMF and slot car racing" there is a reference to this arcade game? Worth the time to read it.
