Aurora Models?

Hello,

I picked up some diecast at a flea market and these 2 cars were mixed in. I believe that they are both Aurora cars but identifying the models eludes me. I think the Tourquise car is a Aurora TJet '63 Ford Falcon but I cannot find any intat color scheme. The other car is perhaps a corvette? I've attached a few photos to see if anyone can help me.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello Tony,

Welcome to the forum.

Yes, you are spot on. The other car is a 1963 Corvette Stingray. Thumbup

Any knowledge on price? Is the Aurora TJet '63 Ford Falcon a $40 car or more possibly? The Corvette is pretty beat up so not assuming there's much there.

We all use Ebay to check prices. Seach "Aurora HO slot car falcon, or corvette". The cheapest one is usually the real price. The rest are dreamers.

The falcon looks good. The colour is nice.

The Corvette has the wheel wells chopped up. That's a very bad thing. The Vette chassis is also badly neglected.

Good luck with your sale.

Thanks. I got the Falcon running though it needs some proper maintenance. The Corvette is a mess!

Tony, I think that you will find that the car is in fact a Ford Fairlane and not a Falcon. It looks to be in good condition and in the Bob Beers book it is listed as a grade2 which means that it is very desirable in this colour.

I have no idea what happened there. The photo is upside down but when you click on it, it turns the right way up. Thumbup
