This combo auction is for a custom painted body plus matching artwork. The art work includes a 1.7 foot x 3 foot indoor vinyl banner.  The artwork subject is the Yellow #8 AFX/Racemaster's MEGA G Whitmore GT40 body.  The art work also includes 3 business card sized magnets of the Whitmore GT40 body.  The art work is based on a photo taken by a guy I race with who is a professional photographer. 

You get the banner, the 3 magnets, and the matching custom painted body for one price.

The custom body is shown on a BSRT 902 chassis (a great slot car from Scale Auto) but the auction is for the body and artwork only, not the chassis.  

The body is custom painted GT40 body with water slide decals.  Clear coated with future acrylic (the floor wax, it works great on slot car bodies).  The acrylic coating is VERY glossy and provides a wonderful finish.  

The body is not perfect but looks very nice. This is a close replica of the Yellow #8 AFX/Racemaster's MEGA G body that often sells for over $100 here on eBay.

The windows are decals.  The car has about 20 separate water slide decals.  Hand painted black and silver highlights, plus red tail lights. I painted several for me and several to sell. 

This will make a nice display or runner.  If you race it, I WOULD NOT put lane stickers over the decals.  I have torn waterslide decals off of cars using lane stickers with really strong adhesive.  If you do I probably can print a replacement decal for you, but just don't put lane stickers on the decals.

This will be packed well and shipped promptly. I will combine shipping on multiple auctions. I like sellers who do that for me. So if you’re buying multiple cars, please select “Request invoice” or “Request combined shipping” at checkout, so I can discount your shipping charge.


Shipping is US only, outside the US shipping will be at cost.

 I have been purchasing a very large amount of slot car parts and tools in the past several months, and I decided I needed to let go of some slot car stuff to offset some of those costs.  I got bitten by a T-jet/Fray car building bug, and I have spent more than I am willingly to admit to the wife on parts in the last 5 months. I have built more than 60 custom Fray style cars since November 2017 (I have sold about 9) and plan to build more.  I don’t “need” that many cars, but I REALLY enjoy sipping whiskey or an IPA and spending time in my basement listening to surf music and building cars. And now magnet car racing season is starting locally, and why race last years cars when I have an excuse to buy more parts and build more cars?


If you are ever in the Seattle area, let me know. If I am around come over and run some laps!


The Whitmore car:

1966 Le Mans 24 Hours

Alan Mann Racing #8, driven by John Whitmore & Frank Gardner

Shelby American had their hands full preparing five Ford GT40 Mk IIs for Le Mans qualifying in May. Ford, however, had set their sights on having eight cars ready for competition. Having received three chassis at their shop in England, Alan Mann Racing prepared them in time for the great race. These chassis bypassed the Ford Advanced Vehicles department and were never stamped with GT40 serial numbers. They were instead numbered XGT-1 to XGT-3 by AMR. The #8 car was the first of these: XGT-1.

 Englishman John Whitmore, who had driven for Alan Mann on many prior occasions, teamed with Australian Frank Gardner to pilot the #8 Ford GT40 Mk II. Whitmore had an exciting start to the race, beginning with the famous ‘Le Mans Start’ sprint to the cars. His was the first to move, but the engine stalled! It’s engine re-fired, Whitmore’s Ford jumped forward, thumping into Parkes’ Ferrari and then Miles’ #1 Mk II! Despite the rough start, Whitmore was fifth across the line at the end of the first lap.

 Though the AMR-entered cars were meticulously prepared, troubles began early: a fractured rear brake line, clutch master cylinder, and a leak that sprayed oil onto the rear tire, causing Gardner an exciting moment. The beautiful #8 car was eventually retired.
