A 1/24 Revell Ferrari GTO. A pretty nice original car.

This is a very nicely painted and detailed 1/24 Revell AC Cobra.

Monogram Daytona Cobra GT Coupe in 1/24.

These are all the cars currently in my display case. That is up until today anyway. After making some repairs to the case, I now have to load all the cars back in....Things may change......a little.......

This appears to be a factory paint clear body shell mounted on a Gar Vic chassis.

This is another slot car I have had many of through the years. However this was the first that was original and complete. Most were broken or cut up.

These 1/24 Revell Cooper Fords are hard to find in this condition. It took me a few years to find one this complete, and this nice!

I don't remember for sure (old guy issue), but I think this may be one of Hal Tacker's paint jobs on this clear body. It is mounted on a Dynamic chassis. One thing for sure, it is definitely cool!

Daytona Cobra GT Coupe mounted on a Testors chassis.

This is an original Revell Lola T70 with a factory paint job.

Strombecker 1/24 Maserati F1.

Customized Lotus body on a Cox F1 chassis?

Monogram Lotus F1 in 1/24. This one needs some work!

Cox BRM F1, original and complete.

Honda F1 in 1/24.

Revell 1/24 F1. These cars were also produced in the Ed Roth monster versions.

A Russkit Ferrari F1. The body is injection molded, not clear plastic.

This Atlas Cooper, like many of the cars in my F1 collection, came from my friend Dick Gehrke. Dick kept very good care of them through the years!

This is a vintage MINRA trophy I found somewhere. Another one of those DKWW (don't know where or when) deals.....

I like F1 slot cars....a lot! I like the way this Eagle was detailed and painted. Maybe not really accurate, but the boy in me says cool!

This Cox Lotus is pretty rough. Maybe someday it will undergo restoration?

This Cox BRM is pretty nice!

This brings us to the bottom shelf of the display case. Where most of the 1/24 scale F1 cars live. This first car is an early attempt at transforming a battery powered model car into a slot car. My original thought was maybe some day I'll complete the job. In reality I may never get there. But I think its cool anyway! It was customized from a Strombecker motorized Mercedes Benz model.

In addition to slot cars, quite a few years ago I started collecting Pine Wood Derby cars. Since then they have also gotten pretty expensive (evidently I am not the only one collecting them). This is one of the nicer ones I found before the became valuable! It is an older build, judging by the early wheels. It was very nicely done!

Everybody that has old slot cars has at least one of these Cox controllers! This is the only one I have that is still new in the box!

I believe this is a Can Am Lola model car body and was built by the same person that built the Chaparral 2G in the previous pictures. This body is also mounted on a Cox magnesium chassis. It is also very well done!

1/24 factory painted Lola T70 vintage clear body. I believe this is one of the bodies from a Monogram slot car kit.

This looks like a Daytona Cobra Coupe body that would have come in the same Monogram slot car kit as the previously pictured Lola T70. The kits offered the builder a choice of two factory painted bodies.

This is just a nicely painted Pontiac GTO vintage clear body.

This 1/24 scratchbuilt car was one of the cars from Norton Gaston's collection. Norton's father, Jerry Gaston, worked for Cox with another engineer designing and building slot cars. As I have been going through the collection I have been looking for scratchbuilt cars that may have some early chassis designs that became production cars. One thing I noticed was the drop arm on this particular car. A rubber band is used to "spring load" the movement of the drop arm and guide flag. This is similar to the design of the La Cucaracha and Chaparral 2E chassis. I have no way of verifying this, and there's no way to know which came first, the Cox production cars or this scratchbuilt. Nevertheless, this one is very nicely detailed and extremely cool!

At one time this one was probably a very nice 1/24 Ford GT40. It's still not too bad, a little dirty, and needs some re-assembly. It looks like it was someone's favorite and raced quite a bit.

This is a 1/24 Chaparral 2G model car body mounted on a Cox Chaparral magnesium chassis. This car was part of the "Goose" collection and unfortunately I have no idea who built it. It is however very nicely done!

This original 1/24 Monogram Ferrari body was also re-released as a model kit. This original is really clean.

1/24 Cox Lotus. This has got to be one of the most popular slot cars ever produced! Through my years of collecting I have bought and sold a bunch of these! This one is a pretty clean build.....I've seen many that weren't!

A nicely painted 1/24 clear Ferrari body mounted on a Cox Chaparral chassis. I just like this one.........
