1/8th scale cars...

[Howard Cohen]

I picked up a few this week, all in need of rebuilding...I need a much bigger work bench

The Monogram Camaro and Firebird were complete but I am using the Camaro engine in my Big Deuce. The Jaguar was built about 1964. 

The Grip Lotus F1 JPS is an unusual kit, also sold under other brand names, very large, lots of small pieces. The Ford Cosworth engine is great and may end up in a 23 T

Fun to see these. I built the Lotus in about 1980.

Great find. Good luck with them

I love these kits. I have them all except the Camaro. Just gave the lotus away to a friend. He builds 1/20 to 1/24/25 scale f1 and Indy cars. And he is a really great modeler. He has helped me with a few projects so when he said he was interested in the lotus , I gave it to him. Cannot wait to see the results. I had this camaro in 1/1. Some people dog these cars, but I had a blast with mine. I really love the shape and style of the car. You will have a blast restoring these. Great score sir!  By the way the lotus engine in the 23 t would be really cool!!!!

Nice find! I have several 1/8 cars. All of those are very desirable kits. Be careful with that Jag, the front suspension and core support area are very fragile. (Ask me how I know)

Pocher’s 1/8 Lotus 72 was featured in Motor Sport’s 72 issue - just out - it is not a re-boot of this rare Lotus kit - its an all new tool - if you could snare a copy of the instruction manual it would be very helpful ….  Kits will ship soon …

Nice to see any 1/8. I have the Jag, and just bought the new issue of the Firebird,  but the original issue was a better one. I'll gladly take yours off your hands so I can combine it with mine. ?

I love 1/8 scale, I have a bunch. I just got the new Firebird, several Vettes, Camero, 32 Ford, some T buckets and several extra engines. 
 

I look forward to seeing what you do with them.
