It's the only one that I am aware of. Looks just like the one I bought in 2003 at our local store. Don't know why the wing configuration is done that way.
...just like my Tony Stewart 1999 Home Depot Oldsmobile/G-Force die-cast. It also has the short-oval wings which the actual car was raced only at Indianapolis.
a bad day at the race track beats a good day at work
They made one version and just changed the paint and design. Cheap, no interest in accurate details, that is what is wrong with the market then.
That is why I only have the AJ Foyt roadster, the original that was sold in the IMS Gift Shop. I have it as a tribute to the man, I don't know what it is worth because I wouldn't sell it. AJ was kind enough to sign the car.
It's always been about the Indy 500!
I realize I have the right to remain silent, but don't have the ability or enough common sense to do so.:rolleyes:
indyracefan, as a multi-year pit road yellow shirt, I had my first pick of the cars in our section of pit road to accompany out on the front straightaway to lineup for the start of that race. I picked Tony's car, I thought for sure he would win. I stood there at the nose of the car throughout all the ceremonies, the National Anthem, Gomer singing Back Home Again in Indiana and engine start. After that I went up against the outside wall and stood there until the entire field passed. Then I jumped the trench and was stationed behind Tony's pit.
Other drivers I did that for included John Andretti and Bryan Herta in Foyt cars (one of those years I stood on the 'yard of bricks') and Teo Fabi in the Forsythe car the year I thought he would win. That day Gerry Forsythe hung around after engine start and I asked him if he would like to stay out with me, he said yes and we stood by the outside wall, after which we ran together to the team's pit. I don't think he even thanked me. Some of those years run together, but the year the Medal of Honor winners were there, I think they did a P-51 flyover and I just lost it, caught up in the moment. I was afraid I would be shown on TV with tears in my eyes.

...that's what I was thinking as well. My die-cast was made by Maisto, and while it's nice it's also cheezy-cheap.

...oh there's no way you could ever sell that or put a price on it.

Better question is why this guy thinks it will bring $112?!?!?!
LOL, with the merger, Ebay has gotten a bit insane. But this is the only JPM Indy winner. I have a few and the first one was a Greg Ray winner and that was done in a SO setup as well. Kinda like CC making super speedway Lolas, or Reynards for the last 5 years,,LOL.
