One of the final ‘Famous 48s’ driven by Dan Gurney during his legendary career has been announced by Acme Trading for production in 1/18 scale.

The #48 AAR ‘Cuda was driven by Dan in the 1970 Trans Am series, the most competitive season in Pony Car history and the only one that featured participation by all the major US auto manufacturers.

Both Dan’s #48 and a Street Version have been announced. Hopefully, a Swede Savage #42 will follow. $134.95 each. Reserve below:

A freshened up MotorsportCollector.com has been uploaded to a new server and is now fully operational.

After downloading everything from the site’s previous home, Jeff took the opportunity to upgrade the software and add a few new features while we made arrangements with our new host:

• The new MotorsportCollector.com sports a cleaner appearance on your Mac or PC and a much more convenient format for your mobil device.
• We’ve removed hundreds of outdated pages created by our Adobe PageMill software over the past 20 years.
• Our recently added ‘Blog’ is now our Front Page and links to our Secure Online Shopping section.

We’ll be fine tuning things and adding more than 100 new items over the next few days. I hope you like what you see.

Thank you for your patience these last couple of weeks. Your comments, as always, are appreciated.

We are currently uploading MotorsportCollector.com to our new server. Hopefully we will be back to normal by the weekend.
