I was watching a show about people who buy abandoned storage units a while back in which they found some old Cox slot cars and where having them appraised. One of the cars was a Cox Chaparral 2E, I turned and said to my wife I have a few of those Cox body kits up in the attic. I went up and found the old trunks I stored them in and took them out to do some research on them. I found plenty of information on the Chaparral but have not been able to find any other Chaparral 2E body kits. Even though the body of the Chaparral 2E has yellowed a bit from years of being stored with Cox origional tires I thought it might be cool to share a picture of it with others. Thanks.
Slot CarsSlot cars have been around since 1912, when Lionel made its first slot cars…
Nice find. In our world that's not called yellowing, it's called patina. LOL. As long as it's sealed in the original package, I would consider it mint.
Nice Find.
