One great thing about the modern Internet is that now you can research these race cars and see photos of when they actually raced. I was able to find photos from the 1972 Le Mans of the Lola with the Swiss cheese livery.
I included a photo of the real car

OK everything is wrapped up. It’s in a box 30“ x 18“ x 10“ lots and lots of bubble wrap FedEx quote for shipping all the way across the country to Florida was just over $100.
This is going to make a great Christmas present for somebody. Be prepared to spend about an hour unwrapping. Cars are wrapped mostly in pairs, wheels two wheels as you unwrap you might find a Ferrari Daytona wrapped to a Porsche 914. You’ll definitely come across the baritone, caribou, wrapped with a baritone buggy.
I recommend a Christmas day opening🎁🎁
Money can t it happiness but a 99 cent Hot Wheel can come close.

thank you bidders. The 60s and 70s Solido cars really are special. Every now and then you’ll see a few on eBay but I’ve never seen a large collection like this.

There are no original boxes. Several of the modern vehicles come in plastic display boxes as shown.

Hi Island Rider,
Do the cars come with their original boxes and any paper work that may have accompanied the cars when you purchased them?
Most of these cars are no longer available, and for those of us who were there for the 917, 512 , Can Am days there are great memories here. They look great adorning any proper garage or Man Cave.
