keyser Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) 41 60 Special one of prettiest. Had mine for decades I guess. Tiny sag Got these today 720 big probably 1:24 +, didn’t check yet. RS looks close. Mac is Jada, RS is Welly. Needs couple Snake-fu points. 720 needs side markers, no chrome over the windows, couple little things only I'd notice. RS pretty good, Needs Porsche lettering on spoiler top, flatter paint. Edited October 16, 2020 by keyser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT.... after it sat on dresser for a while, it started looking like something was happening. Turns out that the suspension piece was loose and just dropped out. I fixed it easily and better. Just odd that happened with no touching. Hasn't happenend again. They are great looking cars. I've made the repairs. I still have to clean and polish the car. After further study, it looks like the lower suspension control arms are held on at three points by screws. The way this one is broken, it appears all three screws were over-tightened just a bit, putting stress fractures in the plastic. Eventually, through handling and age, these areas just broke and the lower suspension and associated parts fell off. Not sure why the king pin mounts fractured at the lower control arms.

cobraman Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I like the wheel change on the Cobra. Looks way better. And yes the Jada Cobra's are larger than 1/24. Don't most/all Jadas run large ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Also a fave of mine. 53 in blue is great looking car, really nice model. Put that beside your C-type you built ages ago. Polar opposites but great cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was was one of the first "nice" Mint cars I acquired that only needed a good cleaning and polish, no repairs! I also love the flexible mirrors and antenna!

THarrison351 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) I acquired these over the last couple of weeks to complete the Porsche set, and found a few others I liked along the way. I've bought a lot of 1/64s recently Kia Stinger, Porsche Panamera, and Porsche 918 Spider Volvo 850 Wagon, Tesla Model S, and 1970 Ford Torino GT Unfortunately, the 918 Spider's card was beaten (had to glue and tape a lot of it) so I was on the look out for a replacement and found one today. I also picked this up, NASCAR Authentics 2020 Ryan Blaney #12 Advance Auto Parts 1/64 Hauler. I need the 1/64 car now. I have a 1/24 car. I may be obsessing. Finally, this came in the mail today. Racing Champions Ralph Earnhardt #54 Ford Fastback (1964 Galaxie). https://media.fotki.com/2v2HgJSN5xAVNRq.jpg Edited October 25, 2020 by THarrison351 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomerS Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Found the yellow and orange Camaro, but the blue one wasn't showing up. Local antique mall has one w/o a box at triple retail....um NO! Several weeks ago bought an extra blue and orange Shelby Mustang with the intent to trade for the Camaro. Of course I found one yesterday.....
