Chris, the computer I need would have to have the old style "slot thingie" (correct technical term unknown to me) installed to accept the SRT board. SRT runs in DOS (I think that's what it is referred to).........

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.......

A very nice example of a Monogram Ford GT Roadster. Complete and clean!

Another Russkit Porsche. A little worn, but still pretty nice and complete.

It looks like this Dynamic chassied car has seen some racing action! I love these padlock style motors!

Re: Bill's Junk (240 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
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!

Re: Bill's Junk (240 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
Another Cox 1/24 Cheetah. The body on this one is clean, original, and complete. The chassis is missing some parts.

I like the paint job on this 1/24 Porsche. It is mounted on a modified Dynamic chassis.

K&B Lola T70. This is a nice original. It's just missing the wheel inserts.

Re: Bill's Junk (240 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
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.

A pretty nice, original, and complete Russkit Porsche.

A little rough, but this K&B Chaparral is original and complete.

A pretty nicely painted Cox Chaparral.

Strombecker 1/24 Maserati F1.

Customized Lotus body on a Cox F1 chassis?

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

666 July 23, 2023 7:55 am
Re: Bill's Junk (240 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
I believe this is a Strombecker Ferrari F1 in 1/24. This is a nice original car.

Another Cox BRM. A little rough.

For over 20 years, NASTE has held their Annual Halloween Race. I built this car for racing in Halloween races. It has competed twice. It never won..........goes really fast down the straights..........does NOT like corners!

Re: Bill's Junk (240 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
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.

Cox 1/24 Ferrari F1. This one is complete and pretty nice, thanks to Dick Gehrke!

Cox BRM, another car from Dick.

Monogram 1/24 Lotus F1. A little rough but complete.

Re: Bill's Junk (240 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
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.....

Re: Bill's Junk (240 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
Atlas made some really nice 1/24 F1 slot cars! This is their version of the BRM. Check out the nice brass bevelled gear set.

1/24 Cox Ferrari F1.

I believe this is a Strombecker 1/24 F1. Very nice detail!

671 July 23, 2023 7:22 am
Re: Bill's Junk (240 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
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!

Re: Bill's Junk (240 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
Champion has manufactured some great chassis through the years. This 1/24 chassis makes for a great handling slot car, even by today's standards.

Champion inline chassis (not such a great handler, but pretty!).
These aluminum techand cooling blocks were manufactured by Kirk Smith and Hugh Ellsworth under their In Slot Racing business name. This was Hugh's personal one he used at the races. It is now part of my local slot car history collection.

Re: Bill's Junk (240 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
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!

This model car body was painted and detailed by my friend John Gill. John designed and printed the custom decals himself. He gave me the body to race on my Sportsman car, but I only raced it once. This is a one-of-a-kind and I don't want to ruin it!
This is a new 1/24 factory painted DuBro body. I just can't bring myself to mounting it on a chassis! It will remain a collectible for me.

Re: Bill's Junk (240 replies, posted in Slot Talk)
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.
