1/24 369 Lindberg Auburn 1935 Supercharged 851 Boattail Speedster (Ex-Pyro)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
Nice kit from ex-Pyro molds. Molded in white, clear and chromed plastic with real rubber tires. Features detailed engine, hinging/opening hood and good interior detail. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions. The 1935 Auburn weighed 4200 lbs and was one of the few cars of that time to have hydraulic brakes. Power came from a 150hp (@4000) supercharged engine with three inch exhaust pipes. That easily sped the car to over 100 mph! Ab Jenkins set a record with a stock issue 851 at Bonneville Salt Flats in July of 1935, and became the first one to pilot a stock car for over 12 hours at an average of over 100 mph.
