2008 Supercar Reunion Official Commemorative Collectible

Performance Years Enterprises would like to announce the 2008 Supercar Reunion Official Event car. This year the SCRXI is dedicated to the drag car fans, especially those attending the Supercar Shootout at Gateway International Raceway.

The Reunion is celebrating their 11th ANNIVERSARY! Several Supercar Dealer cars are already pre-registered. This promises to be another great gathering of Supercars in one location.

The 11th Annual Supercar Reunion Diecast Collectible will be a 1969 Camaro Yenko tribute Drag Car. This car represents what could be a current day drag Camaro storming down the quarter mile. We then added Yenko side stripes and the front portion of the Yenko hood graphic. We, not wanting this car to pose as a real Yenko and to preserve the integrity of the REAL cars, we subtly changed the Yenko stripes to not being 100 percent correct, also note we enlarged the front hood decal. We also chose to not duplicate the sYc decal for the headrest, or front fender and tail light panel emblems. We think this is just a real sinister looking Camaro ready to tear down the strip! Something a little unique for the 11th Anniversary.

This is a 1/18th scale Hwy 61 Collectible. (VERY Detailed) The car has a lift off hood, opening doors & trunk. Lift off the hood to show the detailed 427 engine with dual quad. Holley’s bolted to an aluminum tunnel ram intake along with headers to exit the exhaust. The engine is wired & plumed complete with fuel lines. Under the car you will notice the working suspension, drive shaft safety loop, traction bars AND move the rear tires to see the drive shaft rotate! The Camaro rolls on Cragar mags with Goodyear slicks & skinnies up front.

The interior features tilting seat backs & the seats slide back & forth, carpeted floor, cloth seat belts with photo etched buckles, roll bar, aftermarket tach mounted to the dash & a fuel pressure gauge bolted to the cowl. Even the glove box door opens to put your time slips in! Open the trunk lid to find a spackle painted floor & the trunk mounted battery. Check out the rear license plate that drops down to get to the gas cap!

Limited Edition of ONLY 150 cars.

We then had the car outfitted for the 2008 11th Anniversary Supercar Reunion. We applied a red, white, blue & Chrome Yenko Chevrolet Crest to the doors and a multi colored & chrome Supercar Shootout/Gateway International Raceway logo on the rear window.

We then added the “Yenko Tuned” logo to the sides of the “Grump Hump” hood scoop & a white & chrome “427” to the front of the hood scoop.

Special front Illinois Supercar Reunion license plates were then made with August & 08 tags in the corners. The rear Illinois plate has your own serial number of the 150 produced. Due to the request of you collectors, we have also applied a larger Illinois license plate on the front of the box showing your special serial number.

A special numbered Certificate produced by “Rob Clary” will have your matching serial number. Now the car, box & certificate will all show your own special serial number!

The window box was then decorated with the special 11th Reunion Anniversary logo on the top and front (same as used on the event T-Shirts). Dates, location and other information are also listed. Along with the larger Illinois license plate with the serial number of the car.

Along with ONLY 18 Special Chase Cars!

A Very Limited Chase Car Version will be available. This car will be painted turquoise pearl & will have BLACK Graphics. This Chase Car will also have different style mag wheels AND a rear spoiler.

With such a small number of cars and what is sure to be another GREAT Supercar Reunion, please call early to reserve your car. Cars are due late August.

Cost for the 11th Anniversary Commemorative Camaro is $99.99 plus $8.50 S&H. Cost for the 11th annual car AND the Chase Car is $189.99. Sold as a set.

MOD TOP CUDAS - Flower Power!
1970 Plymouth Cudas - 4 new versions!

MOD TOP & Chase Car
Performance Years Enterprises is proud to announce 4 new versions of the 1970 Plymouth Cuda’s. These are very desirable cars that hold a special place in the hearts of many Mopar enthusiasts because of the uniqueness & rarity of these cars..

PYE has commissioned Hwy 61 Collectibles to produce a very limited run of these cars along with a CHASE CAR VERSION of each color in 1/18th scale.

MOD TOP
These cars feature all of the cool details found on the Hwy 61 cars including, scissor type hood hinges, correct type door hinges, opening trunk, rotating drive shaft, movable sun visors, glove box door, front seats & seat backs, carpeted interiors, seat belts, plumbed & wired engines.

Some extra details that Performance years has added:

  • Hood pins deleted, chrome rear view mirrors, the “Mod Top” decal in rear quarter glass window added, black steering wheel, “Mopar” batter decals added to top of battery, and a “Sure Grip” decal to the underside of the trunk lid.
  • Extra paint details to the gas tank straps, undercarriage body plugs, all exhaust clamps, and engine overspray on the bell housing and automatic transmission.
  • More paint detailing to the bumper jack, brake master cylinder and the windshield washer tank shows half full of solvent.

The design guys at Chrysler were always on the visual cutting edge of promoting their products. For example: the High Impact colors and the bold racing stripe packages. Hoods with Shakers, Air Grabbers, Power Bulges and Scoops. The front & rear spoiler options or the sound of those engines exiting through the rear valance panels or the trumpets in front of the rear wheels. The list goes on & on. But, one of the most outrageous options was offered on the 1969 & 1970 Plymouths & Dodges, the MOD TOP Cars!

MOD TOP & Chase Car
This was a floral Flower Power pattern offered as an interior seat & door panel package or vinyl top. The cars could be ordered with the Mod Top interior or vinyl top only or with both. Dodge offered the 1969 Dart, Coronet & Super Bee. Plymouths offerings were the 1969 Satellite and 1969 & 1970 Barracuda’s & Cuda’s.
 

 

MOD TOP
Total production numbers for the 1969 & 1970 Barracuda’s & Cuda’s were approximately only 1021 cars. Only approximately 84 1970 Plymouths were produced. Everything from small blocks to a 440 has been documented and 4-speeds or automatics were available.

MOD TOP Cuda’s retail for $69.95. The CHASE CAR & MOD TOP Cudas will be sold as a set for $149.95. These cars will be available first quarter of 2007. Please pre-order soon!
