1//2/09 UPDATE: We'll kick off the New Year with an item of interest for those of us who are lifelong Dan Gurney fans:

Revell - Monogram's latest series of 1/32 scale Limited Edition (3,000) slot cars will feature the 1965 Ford Galaxie in NASCAR Grand National trim. The first release is Dan's 1965 Motor Trend Riverside 500 winning Woods Brothers Galaxie decorated with the famous number 121 usually carried by Gurney in the race he dominated in the mid-1960s. Gurney was nearly invincible in a stock car on a road course, winning the Riverside 500 an amazing 5 times in 6 years (Parnelli Jones broke the streak in 1967 - but Dan came back a winner in 1968). The Gurney Galaxie comes in a beautifully decorated Presention Box. $54.00 plus shipping. Order HERE.

All remaining 2009 Calendars are 25% OFF while they last!


 

IN STOCK!! IN STOCK!!

 

12/30/08 UPDATE: Auto Art's long awaited re-release of the 1/18 scale Michael Delaney (Steve McQueen) Gulf Porsche 917K # 20 from the film 'LeMans' is now in stock.

The new version features special 'Steve McQueen Racing' packaging, a new part number (87183) and some nice improvements to the model itself: The rear spoiler is now movable and a brace has been installed inside the rear bodywork, allowing the model to be displayed with the tail section raised and the engine exposed.

Price is $114.95. Reserve your's HERE.

MICHAEL TURNER ORIGINAL PAINTINGS - We were especially impressed by the exciting set of paintings created by Michael Turner for this year's annual Christmas card set. The originals from previous sets have been highly popular with collectors from around the world and present perhaps the most affordable way to add a Turner original to a motorsport art collection.

This year, it may be a bit easier to aquire one of these paintings than it has been for quite a while. One of the few economic bright spots to appear recently is the strengthening US Dollar, which allows us to offer these paintings about 25% below what they would have cost just a few months below. More details HERE.

 


 

12/19/08 UPDATE: While I was channel surfing last night, I happened upon Steve McQueen's 'LeMans' as it was just getting started on Turner Classic Movies. Needless to say, I didn't fall asleep on the couch (as usual) at 7:30 pm. After the film, I checked my email and received confirmation that the long awaited 'encore' production run of Michael Delaney"s (Steve McQueen's) Gulf Porsche number 20 had finally landed in the US and was on it's way to TMC. Unfortunately, the shipment won't get here until Christmas Eve or Boxing Day, but ......

Price is $114.95. Reserve your's HERE.

Autocourse is in! - Our Air Shipment of the World's Finest Formula One Annual has arrived from Europe. A few fresh copies of Autocourse 2008/09 remain available for $59.95 plus shipping. Click HERE to order.

There's still time to place an order at TMC for Christmas delivery. We have thousands of items in stock, including hot items like 'McLaren: The Cars 1964-2008', GMP's 1/18 scale Ferrari 330P4, CMC's Phil Hill Sharknose Ferrari, Porsche die Rennplakate, Can Am Thunder and Author Signed copies of 'To Finish First' by Phil Kerr. If you are looking for suggestions, just give us a call at 800.722.8630 or 630.515.1440.

 

1212/08 UPDATE: Well, some good news and some great news:

Our 'Air Shipment' of Autocourse 2008/09 has landed in the US and is expected to arrive at TMC in a few days. We will begin processing orders on Monday.

Due to the recent strength of the US Dollar, the cover price of Autocourse has been reduced to $54.95 from $59.95.

That's not all: Due to the recent decline in oil prices, the cost to fly our advance shipment over from Europe has dropped as well. We're able to reduce the price to $59.95 from $69.95.

See, the world isn't coming to an end just yet.

If you've already placed your order, not to worry. We will adjust your cost manually when we process the orders next week. If you'd like to 'upgrade' to an early copy, let us know asap.


 

12/8/08 UPDATE: This week, we took delivery of a major collection of 'sold out' 1/12 and 1/18 scale road racing cars released earlier this decade by GMP. The collection includes all three 1/12 scale LeMans winning Ford GT40s, one of the very rare 1/12 scale Andretti/Bianchi Ford GT Mk IVs and nearly all the 1/18 scale Can Am McLaren M8s and Lola T-70s and Trans Am Mustangs and Camaros from the 1960s, 1980s and 1990s produced by GMP during that period.

For good measure, the collection also includes the first 6 releases in GMP's 1/12 scale Dirt Champ Car series - including Al Unser's Johnny Lightning Special - and Exact Detail's highly collectible 1/18 scale GT350-R Shelby Mustangs as campaigned by Mark Donohue.

In all, 50 very collectible sold out minatures were uploaded to the new 'Collector's Corner - Rare Finds' section of our Online Shopping Website Friday night. They are selling FAST!

Click HERE for the complete list.

As we said Friday, it's not too late to order your Formula 1 Autocourse 2008/009 Annual for Christmas delivery. $69.95 plus shipping. The shipment is expected to arrive about a week before the Big Day.

The 2008 FIA Formula One Championship DVD Review has arrived. It is a 2 disc set again this year, priced at $29.99 plus shipping.

The 2008 LeMans Official Annual is now in stock as well. $84.95 plus shipping.


I've been saying all year that 2008 has been a great year for Ferrari collectors. The two best models we've seen all year have been the 1/18 CMC Ferrari Sharknose and the 1/18 GMP Ferrari 330 P4. As we said earlier, the Phil Hill 1961 Belgian GP version of the Sharknose is in stock ($318.95) for immediate delivery. GMP has been delivering P4's a few at a time for the past couple of months. We will have models for the final few people on our wait list in a few days and there will be a limited quantity of additional pieces ($269.95) available for Christmas delivery. First come, first served.

It's not too late to order your Formula 1 Autocourse 2008/009 Annual for Christmas delivery. $69.95 plus shipping. The shipment is expected to arrive about a week before the Big Day.

The 2008 FIA Formula One Championship DVD Review is expected early next week. It is a 2 disc set again this year, priced at $29.99 plus shipping.

The 2008 LeMans Official Annual will hit our shelves early next week as well. $84.95 plus shipping.

Last but not least, TMC has acquired a significant collection of 'sold out' 1/12 and 1/18 road racing cars produced by GMP between 2001 and 2005. They include Can Am and Trans Am Champions, LeMans winners and other good stuff. We'll be posting a list soon. Watch this space.


11/26/08 UPDATE: We're in the process of shipping our advance orders for the first version of CMC's spectacular Ferrari 156 Dino Formula One car. The #4 Phil Hill 1961 Belgian Grand Prix winner has been produced in a Limited Edition of 6000 pieces and is a solid contender for Model of the Year honors. We have a handful of models remaining from our allotment. $318.95 plus shipping. Click on the image above to order.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
