Picked these amazing cars up as part of a trade with our own Jefferson. Thanks so much my friend, these are amazing!

The box is all in Japanese, but the quality is truly amazing in any language!

1) 1970 TOYOTA 7 Can Am group 6 racer...

The Toyota 7 was Toyota's first purpose built race car. Introduced in 1968,
The chassis was constructed by Yamaha and the power provided by Toyota.

While the first generation cars had quite a bit of success in 68 and 69 in Japan, this 1970 model never saw the track. This car was headed for America to compete in our CAN- AM series. But after two factory drivers were killed testing the 7, the program was scraped! This car has been fully restored and is still owned by Toyota.

Powered by a 5.0L (303.2 ci) twin turbo aluminum V8, that produced an AMAZING 800hp!

2) 1971 MAZDA Savanna RX3

Though I can find no information on this livery as a real race car, the Savanna / RX3 had a long and successful racing career. From 1971 through '78, Mazda campaigned this car in many series all over the world.

The driver listed on the roof was a real (and very successful) Mazda Factory driver Yoshimi Katayama. Again, I can not find any information on this version being a real car, so any help you guys might have, please share!
