Slottie Stang + Wheel Deal + Repro Tiller - Gearbox 485

Date: 05.12.2023

Here's a bunch of ways to max out the plastic.

1. SLOTTIE STANG

Forget computer-sim racing, Scalextric is still the best place to race. And it is bigger and better than ever. Here’s one of their latest racers, a 1:32-scale pre-1966 Ford Mustang, decked out in the black and gold livery of the famous Hertz Rent-A-Car Mustangs that competed in the 1960s. Ready to race, it features magnatraction, an easy-change guide-blade and is compatible with ARC AIR/ARC ONE and ARC PRO/Digital, but requires a digital chip.

2. GET A SIX-PACK

Sure, you can go to the gym for months on end and stretch and strain to get a six pack, or you can head to your local for a six-pack. But neither will be as admired as the ‘6 Pack’ key tag, for your Mopar, exclusive from Hemi Performance. The key tags have been created on the original factory badges or unique designs, while keeping Chrysler’s design style. Made from high-quality casting and top-notch chrome plating.

So, if you are looking for a Christmas gift for a Chrysler or Valiant enthusiast, grab one of these stylish key tags for $14.90 from hemiperformance.com.au

3. WHEEL DEAL

Gotta Mustang and want to make it better? Then head to Mustang Motorsport. From Shelby comes these 50th Anniversary Super Snake Vision wheels. Made from the highest-grade forged aluminium, these wheels are lighter and stronger than cast or flow-formed equivalents. Super Snake Vision wheels come as a set of four with Shelby centre caps. The front pair measure 20x9.5 inches and the rears 20x11 inches, with all having a 50mm offset. Recommended tyre size is 275/35R20 up front and 305/30R20 for the rears.

Cost $5060 from mustangmotorsport.com.au

4. REPRO TILLER

When it comes to restoring a car, one of the most common missing items is the steering wheel. And they can be hard to get. If you have an XA or XB Falcon or a ’70-’73 Mustang and it needs a new tiller, get on to All Musclecar Parts. They have genuine reproduction GS and GT steering wheels to suit. The three-spoke repro wheel is beautifully-replicated, right down to the centre badge and the squeezy inside rim to blast the horn.That’s how Henry’s mob made ’em back then. Cost $1450.

5. HIPPIE TEE

While Ferrari and Ford shared wins at Le Mans in the 1960s, Porsche dominated in the ’70s, taking five wins in the decade. One of the most famous models, thanks to its on-track success and the movie Le Mans, was the 917. Porsche has just released a tee shirt depicting the ‘Hippie’ liveried scheme as part of the Martini Racing collection. The high-quality, one hundred per cent cotton shirt is in dark blue, available in seven sizes and comes packaged in a metal box, with the same motif.

Cost is $84.35 at porsche.com.au

6. PUMP IT

Owning a classic or collectable car is very satisfying, and filling the shed with memorabilia of the time dresses it up to a new level. And if the memorabilia has a practical side, even better. This classic Castrol oil canister features a flexible spout and thumb pump.It’s easy to use and looks great on the shelf. A perfect complement to the classic in the shed and it takes you back to the days of DIY car maintenance. It looks great and costs just $17.95.
