What exactly do you want to know about these cars? They were not as popular as Aurora cars so parts are very hard to find. The pickups wear out quickly, I don't know of any source for those. You would probably have to buy phosphor bronze sheet and make your own if you want to run the car very much. Riggen cars used similar pickups and reproductions of those were made a while back. Possibly reproduction pickups for those are available.

Nice! One thing we can say about your example is that it is a good clean piece, "white boots" (OEM) rear silicone tires and all!
I'm sure someone would pay a fair price to add it to their collection of shelf queens.
They're usually found with beat up paint and decals, missing tires and/or wiped out pickup contacts.
Like I said, yours is nice and clean. They're pretty fast in a straight line, too -- once those pickups are shaped just right. :>)

Enjoy... Ernie

Love the car, had one many moons ago. Have you thought of trying a tyco / mattel chassies under it. Ive had luck doing so with tyco hp7 (pickups hard to find) bodies, so think it may be a viable option
