Any info on these. I have a screamer and know what they do with the pump. I haven't been able to find much info on the web about these so any info is appreciated.

Thanks, vwnut

Hey VW what do you want to know about them?

The JP cars are pretty cool.
Topper made a handfull of JP sets. THere were a bunch of little peices that came with these cars and sets, that most people lost over the years if they bought them new.

I might have some JP accessorys or sets for sale, I hope to go threw and see what I have with in the next few months. I know I have a few Compressors I can part with, nothing mint, but might display nice next to the cars.

I also have a pump in the original box with one of the JP cars, I think it's the Monster..

.. someone posted something a while ago...it was one of the vintage Johnny Lightning commercials and one of them was a commercial for how the JP cars worked...it may be on Youtube (?)

EDIT:.. ah, found something!

Wow that's sweet!!!!

When it hits the tab the plug comes out causing the burst of air. Do you have to search for the tab forever or is it connected to the car?

Her is mine ( restoration, it was a junker and had about 4 coats of thick paint!!)

Sweet almost up to post 50 after over 3 years!!! ROFL

Cool video!!.....

If you want to know what sets were available through the years, I still have this list online. The links on it don't work any longer, but the list is worthwhile if you are looking to collect the old Topper items.
