This is an old "Super Pickup" the was made back in the 70's by the Testors Model Corporation. Testors made several .049 powered tether cars from the 60's to the early 80's and the Super Pickup is from their "Fast Ones" series. That series included some really neat cars such as 57 Chevy, a couple Funny Cars, VW Beatle Bug, a VW van and the VW Pickup. Those were the good old days when you could buy a Testors model and actually do something with it other than look at them. ;)

We had more fun as kids with these nitro cars. I'm glad there are still guys out there who appreciate them. I still have my original cox 1/18 ford gt chassis although with a new body. Still runs fine with the original engine. Thanks for sharing the video-TM

Hey tmack,

Yeah those old Cox and Testors cars were a lot of fun back in those day's! The funny cars were a blast too!

@tmackinator

Do you have any video of the Ford GT? I'd love to see a video of that one zinging around.

Hahaha I used to have one of these when I was little. It was supposed to do wheelies, but I never got the chance to get it running. Great Video

Thanks for posting this! :-)
