Just as a teaser to get this board goin, here is a sneak preview of my three 1/18th GMP Champ Car Series Offenhauser Dirt cars!
These are absolutely incredible models, and I was SO lucky to happen across them in a hobby shop near where I live. The shop owner had no interest in them, but had taken them on trade for a R/C airplane, so I got them at a price that was too good to pass up! Anyway, I will take them out of their cases and get some better pictures of each one when I can get a sunny day down here!
Here is what they are, top to bottom:
Top car - Gary Bettenhausen Thermo King #9 - Offenhauser powered USAC Dirt Champ Car circa 1968
Middle - Joe Leonard Vita-Fresh #7 - Offenhauser powered USAC Dirt Champ Car Circa 1967
Bottom - Billy Vucovich Jr #98 - Agajanian Rev 500 Offenhauser powered USAC Dirt Champ Car circa 1968
Thanks for lookin - if you have not had one of these cars in your hands, you can't imagine the look and feel that they have! Nice, heavy castings, precise details, incredible tires and wheels, flawless paint and pad printed graphics - WOW, I need to get some more of em!
