THIS DESCRIPTION WAS TAKEN FROM A SLOT CAR COLLECTOR WEBSITE... I DID NOT WRITE IT.... This car was built from the "MPC kit that was issued in 1965. Unlike AMT which utilized their "promo" bodies to produce their slot car line, MPC initially produced special molds using a clam-shell process for their models. The Corvette was the third such kit after a Lancia-Ferrari, a Scarab Sports and the SC100 show car. The Corvette was by far the most intricate and the most detailed. All used the unusual Dyn-O-Charger motor in which the two magnets were at opposite ends of the poles steel pieces, with a sintered bronze bushing cast in the center of the magnet. While it is not rare, it is very desirable and belongs in any serious collection. It is also interesting to note that the kit stock number (408) was also used for another MPC slot car, namely, the SC100! A little mystery that will require more research." CONDITION: Car in Good Condition...Applied power to motor and it runs. BUT it has NOT been track tested. Also, it is missing driver's head, a headlamp, and has windshield crack....Original tires may need updating... see photos and please ask if you have any questions.
