Just call me imposter_jim

Been looking for a true unspun base for this red unspun body I got as a gift from carrollthemaster back in the RLOL days and finally got one. Mismatch works, makes it cooler!

Leo Bugatti

I really don't need to start another casting but I always thought this one was neat looking. It will probably scratch the itch for a little while and then find a new home LOL

Two show cars at the Museum of American Speed in Lincoln, NE that were the basis for some of the most iconic redlines ever made.

Vette!

This was from a score earlier this year, going through pics and figured Id share. Leo Custom Corvette in white. It Now resides with the foremost Corvette collector out there. I was "proud" to be able to add to his collection.

These are so insanely rare and underappreciated. The two new ones are the dark blue ww solid short card (not white background) and the green bw BP.

Lunchtime Cord

Oddball one here, this was a product of Larry Cox at the Mattel Model Shop. They had an internal competition to use existing Mattel components, re-imagine them being used on potential new Hot Wheels lines, and see how well they race. His entry was to use Rrrumbler wheels on the back of a regular HW, he happened to choose the Classic Cord. These were obviously conceptual and crudely done, but still super cool in their own right. He has said, and I can confirm....this performs HORRIBLY on the track LOL. This was part of the RLOL era "Texas Find" that had protos and other oddball (light blue RLBB, pink Roger Dodger, etc) tjat was brought to the collector community by the late Bruce Kalapach aka iamredliner.
