EXOTO RACING LEGEND 1/18 GEORGE WINTERSTEEN #12 1964 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT

Of the 2 Grand Sport Roadsters ever built, Roger Penske bought BOTH! Chassis 001 was picked up from the GM factory and prepped for the 1966 Sebring 12-Hour event. It made its racing debut against Ford GT40's, Ferraris, Chaparrals, and Porsches. After the 1966 Sebring race, George Wintersteen bought Grand Sport chassis 002 from Roger Penske and picked up his Roadster. The Wintersteen Roadster was immediately updated by Traco with a 427 ci engine equipped with a single Holley carburetor. This gorgeous car was recreated faithfully by Exoto! There are a ton of features crammed into this 1/18 scale beauty - here's just a few: - die-cast metal-body, full opening parts - carpeted interior - fabric seat belts with photo-etched hardware - steering function - special louvered hood with to-scale bungie strap - photo-etched radiator with genuine rod bracing - rubber-like Goodyear tires with genuine tread pattern - independent die-cast metal rolling chassis - working suspension & rear suspension trailing arms - ...and MUCH MORE! Here's a little more information on the Wintersteen Roadster, as provided by Exoto.com: Competing in the 1966 US Road Racing Championship, Wintersteen and chassis 002 delivered impressive results at Bridgehampton, Watkins Glen and Mosport, given that the competition was now two years ahead and far more sophisticated. The 1966 USRRC event at Watkins Glen, in particular, stands out from the other races. George remembers being bumped by Charlie Parsons' McLaren before moving over to give Parsons the racing line. "The next thing I knew, Parsons was off in the weeds amid great clouds of dust," Wintersteen recalls. He does not, however, recall stopping his Corvette to pull Mark Donohue from his crashed and burning Lola T70! Shop here

METAL TOYS AND AUTOMATA

As with most books of this type, this should not be regarded as providing an in-depth study of the subject. The main charm will come from the illustrations, and at a size which enables the beauty of the models to be fully appreciated.

After a chapter of introduction, the book deals with a selected range of subjects, namely automata (toys with automation to represent the movements of people or animals), metal toys, model railways, toy soldiers and diecast toys.

In each chapter, the text is sufficient to provide the basic information without going into great detail. Don't therefore expect to put down this book hoping to be an expert on the subjects covered. A work such as this hopefully will whet several appetites and lead to further collecting and/or reading. Shop here

ASTON MARTIN DB7: THE COMPLETE STORY

The car that would become the DB7 began its gestation in 1991. Developed entirely under the ownership of Ford, this new smaller Aston Martin was intended to add a new higher-volume strand to Aston Martin's range, and when the good-looking car was launched in 1993 it soon became obvious that this was sound policy. The straight-six-powered coupe was an instant hit and sold well. A cabriolet version followed soon afterwards, and in 1998 Project Vantage - a V12 version of the car was unveiled. In 2002 the range was joined by two special editions - the Vantage Zagato and the GT. When production of the DB7 family ended in 2003, giving way to the DB9, just over 7000 cars had been produced, making the DB7 the most numerous of all Astons. Written with the full cooperation of the factory, this is a book for every lover of this superb car. Shop here

FORD GT: THE LEGEND COMES TO LIFE

One of the most exciting new cars of 2004 is profiled in this beautiful book. The Ford GT is the modern version of the incredible GT40, a car created by Ford in the 1960s to beat the Ferraris at Le Mans—which they did! The success of the original GT40, coupled with its great looks, made it one of the most popular cars in automotive racing history. Ford has revived the spirit of the original race car with perhaps its most exciting new car in 30 years—the Ford GT. The new car has lines taken straight off the original GT40 and power supplied by a 500-hp V-8. Three Ford GTs will be built in 2003 to commemorate the 1-2-3 victory at Le Mans in 1966, and the car will see limited regular production beginning in June 2004.

This book includes an in-depth analysis of how the car came to be, complete with original interviews with Ford execs and engineers as well as drawings of concept cars. Also included is a short chapter summing up the origins and race history of the GT40. Also a section discussing the concepts for GT40 revivals.
