There were several more USRRC Roadsters built to the same basic spec as the FIA cars however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to do the Gurney/Johnson car that raced at Sebring in '64? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yep. Are you going to do the Gurney/Johnson car that raced at Sebring in '64?CSX2259. Bob Johnson destroyed the car at Sebring flipping the car multiple times after crashing into an Alfa GTZ at over 100 MPH. The remains were hauled back to Shelby American, salvageable parts were removed and the rest was cut-up and thrown in a dumpster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedfreak Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Looks nice JC, so does the mockup. What's the body color on this? Blue with white stripes? Edited February 8, 2016 by Speedfreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Thanks Gene. I haven't fully settled on an exact car yet. Pretty sure it will be a '64 car in Princess (Viking) Blue. I have the Scale Coachwork decal sheet so I do have some options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
