Favourite car has to be the latest addition to the fleet, doesn't it?
Not necessarily though. This is one of my favourites - my TycoPro Petty 'Tribute' car. An original collectors item goes in the region of $2500! This was done on a spare body and cost maybe $10 (£10 approx.) max. for paint and decals + £15 (at the time) for the body itself.
It's deliberately done on an updated version of the body so as not to be passed off as the real car. Manufacturing changes are a shallower front spoiler and cut away rear quarter panels to allow for racing with the faster 440X2 chassis on banked tracks.
However, this is mounted on an original Tycopro chassis, the 440X2 chassis going in the pit box.
Um? Current as 'in production'? No - but current favourite? ONE of them, yes, most definitely. (Quick check shows it qualifies as 'in production from '71 to '92' - and probably beyond, if I can find the update book.)
