Picked these amazing cars up as part of a trade with our own Jefferson. Thanks so much my friend, these are amazing! I posted on the International board, but wanted to share here as well as a thanks to Jefferson!

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!
