AutoWorld introduces a the next release of the very popular Thunderjet 500 series. This set includes 6 cars each with 2 different paint schemes. The cars introduced here are:
1964 Pontiac GTO |
1971 Chevy Corvette |
1968 Mercury Cougar |
1964 Dodge 330 Pro Stock |
1969 AMC AMX |

The ThunderJet 500 chassis is Auto World's adaptation of the classic "pancake" design, originally developed by Aurora in the early days of electric slot racing. Still immensely popular today, entire slot racing events are created around this chassis. It continues to be a favorite with collectors and hardcore drivers. Closer to HO scale, ThunderJet bodies mount over the chassis using two small screws. ThunderJets are retro slot racing at its best! |
