1/25 331-98 Pyro Auburn 1935 Supercharged 851 Boattail Speedster
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc++
Second issue with beautiful box art. The '35 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. Molded in white with real rubber tires. Features detailed engine, hinging/opening hood and good interior detail. Never started. Missing one part: driver's rear view mirror (easily made). Otherwise inventoried complete with all other parts and instructions.
