Strombecker 1/32 Slot Car Lotus 19 Dan Gurney Daytona ‘62 Winner

This 1/32 scale analog slot car was made to replicate the Lotus 19 race car that Dan Gurney drove to victory in the 1962 Daytona Continental 3-hour endurance race for sports cars. Gurney and this race car became famous for the manner in which that race was won.The car actually suffered a major mechanical failure in the closing minutes of the race and coasted to a stop just inches from the finish line. But, Gurney, being aware that he had a substantial lead over the second place car, wa...ited patiently on the track until the race time expired and then used the engine starter motor to move the car across the finish line for the victory. The chassis and drive train of this slot car are as they came from the factory. And the two photos of the top and bottom of the undercarriage are proof that the car has been run very little. It is equipped with the original, high-revving motor that still runs great.This car is compatible with a variety of analog slot car tracks including Scalextric, Carrera, Ninco, and others. Sold at no reserve from the owner’s private collection. International sales are via the eBay Global Shipping Program only.
