SOLD OUT

Last weekend’s Vintage event at Road America featured an amazing collection of Can-Am, Formula 1, Formula 5000 and Concept AVS Shadows and the launch of the long awaited new book from Pete Lyons, “SHADOW: The Magnificent Machines of a Man of Mystery”. Although Jackie Oliver’s appearance was canceled due to international travel restrictions, legendary American racing Champion George Follmer filled in nicely and graciously signed a small number 1/18 scale Replicarz Shadow DN4s and 1972 Trans Am Javelins for us. While signing, George commented on how much he was impressed by the detail of these models. The Shadows are sold out but we have one 1/18 scale AMC Javelin Trans Am racer still available. Click on the link to order.

We expect our first shipment of the new Pete Lyons book soon. Reserve HERE.
