Cox Lodela .049 Car Engine

I owned literally dozens of the Stinger dragsters.

Wow Ken, I feel less alone now after buying 17 Cox Mercedes tether cars.  

Still, it's a strange one for me.  Different from my Pinto Funny Cars setup that Jason helped me get back together with fuel tank and front suspension pieces.

Wonder what that amount is in USD Levent ...……

I could be wrong Bob on my identification of the exact part. My dad had younger brothers that were very into drag racing in the 70's. My dad would do most of the machining and engine work. My grandfather would just yell. Between my uncle's and their friends they would meet in a large parking lot. At times there were 30 or more Chevelle's and Gto's. My dad brought out the Cox Stinger one afternoon and all were hooked. These guys were buying them left and right. They would break or they would tire of them and give them to me. Sadly, I have two runners left. I know my uncle still has some on his shelf . When I moved out of our house, I left most of the bodies and chassis parts, at least 3 Baja Buggies, Dune Buggies and 2 Gurney Eagles.

It is approximately 40 USD.
