Div 1 guys: "Red Alert" Chevelle

[J Kuchel]

I have two 1/18 die cast replica of his 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 model cars with the build sheets and window sticker that Bob Hamilton originally signed. The car was bought for $ 5,202.45 from Byrne Bros Inc. N White Plains N.Y.

I had the car in our showroom for quite some time. It's certainly gone through some changes but it remains an incredible car in terms of it's history in the sport. I think there may still be a pallet load of die cast cars around. I was selling them in bulk to the die cast retailers.

I think dad got a couple boxes of the die cast cars (6? in a box??) and a few models I believe...we're trying to track down the Red Alert Drag Team models that they did...had the van & trailer, along with the Chevelle...very rare, I guess! My kids are already playing with 1 Red Alert die cast, along with a die cast of our yellow Yenko Camaro...street racing in the house, gotta love it! LOL!!

Anyway, we're gonna put the car on the track on occasion, just kicking around when/how...we won't set the world on fire by any means, but it would be cool to air it out at an NHRA event or two, no? I'd rather dial it back to maybe C/SA, or at the most A/SA...?? But we've gotta get it on the lift and make sure it's doable before I commit to anything...
