Rokar Chevy Corvette #11 Yellow, Black.
Not a car featured much on these pages or anywhere else for that matter. In fact this is one of just two that I own but this Rokar Chevy Corvette #11 in Yellow, Black is a hot looking car.
Black against Yellow works on so many levels it's hard to dislike any sort of car with this striking colour combo'.
These race very much like AMRAC cars and it's difficult to tell them apart. I'm not really into the history of Rokar or AMRAC but I am confidently assuming there is a relationship there somewhere.

Submitted by moparmat2k on Sun, 02/07/2010 - 01:36.yep the rokar M cars wheels scream lifelike. i never liked their HO railroad stuff, so i never gave their slot cars a second glance. the amrac looks closer to a mid 70s aurora g plus knock off, with rougher castings.
they both look to have the same type of body mounting setup. will the bodies swap? i have a rokar M car chassis missing the ring gear on the axle, with some spare parts. good parts chassis. i dont think i will ever do anything with it, as i am an aurora fan.
angel do you want it? its a good source of parts, and the armature does work

With regards to the Junk Yard, I'm yet to finalise the pack for Dan but I have kept 1 X Red Pick-up truck for you as requested. I will need to take new photos of what is left but there will be a considerable pile leftover, so don't worry. Let me know if you have any trades.
