Hi guys I just won the these 4 resin cars . I don't know if they are Jorgensen cars or not . They look like a Watson , a Colt , I think a Mario car and not sure on the last one , maybe an Eagle or McLaren . If anyone can identify them this would really help about a bunch . I got all 4 cars shipped to me for 120.00 I'm hoping that's a good deal
thanks Chuck

I'm no expert on these particular kits but the top pic looks like a Novi and the bottom pic looks like Mario's '69 winner (top) and Al Sr's '70 winner (bottom). Can't make out a body for the 4th car in the pics but from the rear wing I see, it looks like a early/mid-70s car.

ok guys here are the pics after I have separated the parts I can ,the first car is the roadster . I have no instructions except how to put the wire wheels together , I don't know what year or what car it can be made into or if all the parts are there
2nd car and 3rdcars is not 1 but 2 Mclarens , just like the first car no instructions ,not sure what other parts came with it . They have 2 different length noses and different cowls for the body.
4th car is the 1971 Colt , just don't have any spoilers for the front . I might be able to make something or borrow so I can make a small mol of them. Also there is no tail cowling , but I think it might be the same off of the 1970 car which I have so I can make a mold of it and the seat
the last and 5th car is the most complete and is the Mario 1969 car but like all the other cars no instructions
last pic are some various parts that I don't know what some are or what car they go to
any help on instructions or a list of stuff I'm missing and what parts go to what car in pic 6 would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance guys , I can't wait to get them sorted out and start working on them
thanks Chuck

This first pic is a 1947-50 Blue Crown or to be technical a Deidt front drive / Offenhauser and its not a Roadster its a post war whatchamacallit. The first Roadster was the 1952 Fuel injection Spl. Kurtis The 2nd pic foreground Mclaren is the 1972 which its rear wing is behind the 1974-76 Mclaren. The 3rd pic is indeed the 1971 Colt. The 4th pic is the 1969 Brawner Hawk. The 5th from top to bottom. One Parnelli wheel - bottom a arms to the Chaparral 2k - 70's eagle rear wing assembly. 3 Chaparral 2k wheels - top a-arms to the chaparral 2k those 4 wheels on the bottom...put those with your 1969 Brawner hawk.  |

THIEF! Which I was the one that had the luck to find that deal. I don't think there is one car there that most Indy car builders would want to add to their collection.
I'm looking forward to some WIPs.

I am afraid that you will not find much in way of instruction sheets for these. I will look to see what I have if any. Bill usually didn't include too much. The same is true of a lot of the suspension pieces. You would be wise to do some careful research for each car getting photos when you can. Members of this forum are great about sharing photos or sites where you can find different shots of each car. I have found this to be the most accurate way of trying to get the car right.
Good luck.
Jim

Does this mean Lance is going to do his 71 Colt? I know he has a lot of things going on, but I'd love it if he did this car. John |
