Hey guys...
I was thinning out the herd of go-fast cars since my race box made it to capacity.. and I have been sorting through a zillion little boxes strewn everywhere and found this little gem...
I will be honest that if there is a collector "type" that collects "racecars" it is me. I like the used, tired, and new of course race cars. I have a newer riggen, G3s, T2s, Panthers, Thundercats, Wizzards.. I liek the brass pan cars, fray tjets... you name it, but this car kinda caught me off guard.
It is a relatively unassuming Wizzard Patriot "extreme" I believe since it appears to have polymer tractions... The kick is, that of all the cars I have this one has an etching in the side of the chassis that reads:
"872" and "Mike" (scratched out)
"1st Annual PA500 5/1/04"
and on the other side:
"Mike" (scratched out again) "Andrews"
"Blue"
I am guessing an IROC car of some sort. Cool piece.. Pic is below..
(BTW- I missed a Cheetah the other day and have wanted one forever, since I saw the first one in '93, I was in HS)... If you or someone you know has a Cheetah, Thor, Hammer, or any other Unlimited style car that needs a home let me know. I would love to have one of each for my "collection"). I am always looking for old "racecars" that need a home too. Old brass cars etc...
