AFX22038 AFX 1970 Corvette LT1 – Red Metallic

Nothing beats the world famous sports car, the C3, 3rd generation Corvette. Designed by Zora Arkus-Duntov, The 3rd generation C3 body was patterned after the Mako Shark II show car designed in 1965. The C3 body was manufactured from 1968 through to 1982 and is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all 8 generations. Not only is the Corvette one of the coolest looking American sports cars, it’s also one of the fastest. Able to run at 140 mph, with little to no effort, specific tires were designed to reliably sustain and stabilize the car at such high speeds.

In an effort to pack more punch in less space, Chevrolet focused in on smaller-displacement engines and in 1970, they introduced the LT-1. A 350 cubic inch engine with factory rated 370 horsepower. An unprecedented size and number for sports cars at the time.

Mega-G+ Chassis

The Mega-G+ Chassis is a completely new chassis that sets a new standard in performance, detail and accuracy. It is not only faster and lighter, it also corners and handles better, and is more fun and easier to drive. The new Mega-G+ chassis has been completely re-designed from the ground up to be smoother, quieter, more durable. It is 5% lighter and uses 33% less electricity, and runs cooler than the original Mega-G chassis. The new Mega-G+ chassis makes it possible to create more stunning, accurate and realistic bodies than ever before, due to its long wheelbase, low center of gravity and narrow dimensions. Combine that with superb graphics, which uses up to 8 colours and you have set a new standard, in detail and accuracy for 1/64 scale cars.

AFX Collector Series – Clear

The Race and Performance Cars of the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s merged Art with Engineering to reach new levels of Speed and Beauty. Perhaps never before or since have automobiles made such leaps in Power, Control and Design. The AFX Collector Series honors these achievements with stunning recreations of the Best Cars of this era.

The AFX Clear Series Cars feature, clear windscreens and detailed, photo realistic interiors, that really set these cars apart. AFX achieves this by moulding the whole body in clear plastic material and then painting over everything except the areas that should be clear. The result is a Car with a clear windscreen without the need for separate, bulky, glued in parts. A first in 1/64th scale.

And what do you see when you look through those clear windshields? Realistic printed colour interiors. That’s right – seats, spare tires, carburetors, and whatever else was in the real car’s interior. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes to the look of the car. And only AFX has it!
