Also the Daytona Charger and, my favorite,the Daytona Challenger.

 

Not to mention the Sunbird. Thanks Roger!

Roger Schmitt has fairly recently uncovered some late 60's moulds in Parmas archives including Russkit 1968 issue McLaren M6, McKee Olds (Cro Sal), Elfin, Lola T70 mkIII Coupe & Dune buggy, which were supposed to being re-pulled but I haven't heard any more, its been a year or more now.

Several years ago, maybe 3, 4, or even longer, Roger had "borrowed or been loaned" a few of the REHCO vintage molds & actually pulled a few bodies for sale off them. As I recall, these bodies weren't pulled for very long. I'm not sure, but Ron Hershman may have been involved in that endeavor. Maybe it was Ron who had a vacuum forming machine & Roger didn't yet. This would have been before Roger bought Parma.

Champion Sunbird Body

 

[Mark Onofri]

Yep,that's the Sunbird. Funny, I just started a Cobra 36DD build of one last night. I'll start a thread when it's done.

The black & gold on yours makes the body look more swoopy. The local raceway used to carry this body, but I never saw them used, so I never bought one. I did buy several of Champion's 4" NASCAR bodies such as the MC, T-bird, & Pontiac. These were always thicker Lexan than Parma's, maybe .012".

Sorry all I did not get Lotus turbine. I picked up #112 what was defined as lotus porsche. I should have the corvair in by this weekend and will put up both varients once it is in. Hoping saturday to run more of the 2C, 2D and the dodge daytona nascar body from lancer.

Booth Machine and Hobbies has those too. When you think on how these were ran back in the 60's electric dreams has best example with K&B 2D and Ford GT MKII. I am thankful they made more than one. The good part on russkit is  I also have the plastic injection and interiors to go with the russkit. I cut the dies on the plastic parts years ago. The train division has the injection molding machines so  I need to get up to Rosevile and run off some plastic. Once I get it I can offer the Lola t70, chapparal 2C again with plastic and the classic batmobile

Yep thats the Lancer Lotus 23 Porsche body. It's specifically modeled on the George Follmer car.

Here's what that lovely Lancer Lotus 23-Porsche body looks like built up and a link to the build thread:

 

Giant killer! Follmer’s 1965 Lotus 23-Porsche

Is the corvair a:
1) GT
2) SS
or
3) Corsa ?

 

Anyway, would you please pm me when you list it?

It's the Corvair Monza GT & SS concept.

I think the only Corsa Vac body was the Hawk which was pulled from the AMT kit body.

[Mark Onofri]

The SS took me a while to aquire. Seems that there are 2 versions of each. Like I said, please pm me when there ready

[Martin]

Has anyone ever seen a body to replace this beat-up Corvair body I raced in 1970? 

 

I have never been able to find one. WARNING IMAGES BELOW MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME PEOPLE .

 

 

 

 

 

Please help me find a replacement body so I can not look at the abuse this race car took, thanks.

Be glad too,   One corvair is a roadster the other is a coup

I think you may like what Booth ran under the Harmon line for a corvair. I will run it also this weekend and list on EBAY. The body is a more traditional corvair. 

[macwest]

1 )GT
2 )SS
or
3) Corsa ?

 

Anyway, would you please pm me when you list it?

 

I will be listing all three.

 

The Corsa comes originally from International then offered by Harmon through Booth bodies. I ran off two of the three tonight. I need to run off Corsa then I will throw up listings.

Hey Scott, nothing that looks like what I am looking for comes up on ebay when I search " corvair slot car body"

 

Can you show pics here or sell here or ad link here???

 

Selling here gives back to Slotblog  $5 or 5% still the best deal around IMO.

I do not have them up yet. I still need to take pictures of the cars. For two of the corvairs they were lancer part numbers: 116 and 117.

[Mark Onofri]

I'm with Martin, I'd rather see Slot Blog benefit than evil bay. If it's not too much trouble.

[macwest]

I understand and if  sales tax laws did not change would be more then happy but with tax law changes and having to collect sales tax ebay just makes it simple. one shop for tax, banking and shipping lable.  I do this on he side and have a low bandwith. Be glad to wholesale if someone wants to list and sale here. 

 

 

BTW auctions are up on ebay Here is the Daytona:

others can be seen by looking at sellers other items. 

[Mark Onofri]

The SS is a different version that mine as is the Yenco stinger, have to check on the GT. Order goes in tomorrow.
What I meant is there are different variations of each.

[Mark Onofri]

Of the four F-1's you have listed, I can only recognize the Liggett. What are the others?

[pn6]

No MKII yet. 🫤Was hoping for it.

[mjsh]

Anyone make the Lancer or Russkit Honda F1 ?

[macwest]

Which MKII mclaren or ford GT?
