They're self powered slot cars, that's all, man! :>)
I kept a about a dozen or so of the Motorific bodies (and one complete car) for my collection, and sold off all the rest along with two sets and extra track accessories in one big lot at one of our Super Bowl Sunday slot car shows here a few years ago. I've been wanting to try one or two of the bodies on the Aurora Thunderjet 500 "O" gauge (Super Model Motoring, 1964-65) chassis, but like many other projects, can never get around to it. Maybe in the Winter when we start the HO drag racing series again I'll try one, along with the AMT 1/43 Ford Torino body I've got planned. A small extension fabricated for the front axle and I should be in business. If anyone is interested, I know a vendor on Long Island that has a good quantity of new old stock red and black two tone Barracuda bodies (like the one in the photo), for sale. PM me if you're interested and I can put you in touch with him.
Nice Motorific collection, thanks for the photos. Enjoy! -- Ernie :>)
