Usually cars come in even numbered sets, correct?

Is there a 4th car that completes this set?

No. In fact, what makes you think those cars came in sets?

The Pennzoil and Budweiser cars did come in a boxed twinpack. The Pennzoil only came in a twinpack with the Budweiser (8985M) or Miller #9 (8987). The Budweiser also came as a single.

The Valvoline car came by itself and also in a twinpack package with a stop watch.

Thanks...Joe

A twinpack is a set. A set of 2, but a set none-the-less. Also, I figured they may be a set from a track, like the 4 SG+ in the Super Int'l or the 2 in the Long Beach, etc.

I was hoping the 3 here were from a box with track and those come in 4's or 2's of which I was figuring 3 would be part of the 4, and they had destroyed or sold the 4th as a rare (like the http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130226946206&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT&ih=003 Marlboro car).

Sorry, didn't feel like going into my circular logic in the first post. But now that I look closer, it seems the Valvoline and the Pennzoil are the same type of car while the Budweiser is slightly different?

You're welcome, Joe. And thanks for the info :)

Edit: Forgive the smart ass, too much coffee this morning. I appreciate the information greatly.

that Pennzoil car is the later released one too, the earlier one came in a set (race track) with a light blue stp indy, and the twin pack with the miller. (I wish I would have found as many of those sets as I did the Kraco/Dominoes sets, geez).

I actually have one from back in the day that is not in the group you have. Not sure if it was part of a two pack that I bought when I was a kid, but, it is black and gold and has TYCO on the fin. I have the Budweiser car too and had gotten this black and gold one. I'm traveling right now, but can post up pics of the car when I get back on Friday if you are not sure which one I'm talking about.

Thanks guys! I'm just trying to get 4 of each kind of car to use as loaners, on the cheap.

Tho last night I found out what happens with a 7 year old and a Pennzoil car.

Will super glue work on the front spoiler? :(

PD2, the black Tyco Indy car you're speaking of....Is it the #1 Tyco? That car is a mail-away promo car.

How about the Nigel Mansell K-Mart car? It came in a twin-pack with a team semi truck....

here are some pics of what Indy car I have to give you and idea what you can look for .

jstudrawa , Yes you can use regular old super glue on the front spoiler. I have repaired several bodies that I got used buy cutting the nose of some junkers and attaching them to these otherwiae good bodies.

P.S. You can do the same thing if you have an exact donar car too but for me that proved really difficult and I hate to waste a perfectly good car because the wing is snapped off of the front !

Gluing a strip of styrene under the wing makes them more durable.

dlw,

I'm cannot remember how I got that car - I just remember getting it at the same time I got the Bud Indy car for my Tyco track that I got as a kid during one Christmas. I've kept those two and a few others from my childhood, but remembered the black and gold one. I'll snap some pics and post up and maybe you guys can help identify it.

Thanks!

The first pic that shooter has here has my black and gold Indy car - I'm fairly positive that is it, but will double-check when I'm back home.

DLW,

Is that the one you are talking about? That was mail-order-promo? Man, I don't recall how I got that car.

Thanks!

There were two different Penzoil cars,slightly different size
lettering.Two different STP cars,one light blue,one dark blue.
I saw a red penzoil once too,wish I had bought it.

Well, I just broke the exact same side of the front spoiler on the Budweiser car. So that makes the Pennzoil and Bud looking bad. I guess my office walls are tougher than I thought :(

I may just get some NASCAR bodies since the F1's are so fragile.

I appreciate the offer, but I don't want to waste your generosity on my bad driving :)

The Pennzoil cars are #4 and #5 Penske cars. I think #4 was Rick Mears 1988 Indy 500 winner and #5 was Danny Sullivan's 1985 winning car.

This is the best picture I could find of a couple I have. Yes the spoilers are notorious for breaking off on those Tyco bodies. I have a small box full of them. You can see on the one car I made a brass nerf bar in front of the spoilers but they still got smacked. :p

Yeah, it seems the SG+ F1 bodies are a bit tougher? Haven't broken any of them yet.

Anyone know where I can get 440X2 NASCAR Narrow bodies on the cheap? :)

Ebay,they pop up now and then.

Also, can you get Lexan bodies to fit them? Is there a body clip?
