AFX has seen fit to produce a line of Collector Series cars that includes some of the most iconic race cars of all time. All three groups of cars feature authentic scale replicas from auto racing's true Golden Era - the 1960s. Every Collector Series replica comes on top of an AFX SRT racing chassis. Listed below are the cars currently available in the series including the just released "Clear" SRT Collector Series cars listed directly below. All of the SRT Collector Series Cars run on all H.O. scale slot car tracks.

Racemasters has just released  four new bodies in their Collector Series of SRT cars. They're unique in that they started life out clear. The clear body is then painted, using the usual process, but the windshields remain clear. This allows some visual interior detail which is handled by installing a printed paper which mimics the real detail in the real car (i.e. seats, spare tires, carburetors, etc.) With clear windows being a part of the body, there’s no need for a separate, bulky, glued in part. It does make quite a visual difference. Listed below are the first four car releases using this new clear body technology.

From Racemasters comes four replicas of the Ford that beat Ferrari at LeMans in the 1960’s; the GT40 Mk. II. These new GT40’s are the latest releases in the AFX Collector Series of SRT cars. Ford took on Ferrari in the mid-60’s with the ultimate goal being a win at the 24 Hours of LeMans. After a couple years spent with teething problems, Ford put it all together to take it’s maiden victory at the Sarthe circuit in 1966 (the first of four straight). Three of the new GT40’s shown here (#8796 - 8797 - 8798) took the top three spots that year while the fourth car was Dan Gurney’s mount (red #3). Each of these new GT40’s sells for $22.95 and rides on an SRT chassis.

During the 1960's, one of the most advanced race car manufacturer's was Jim Hall's relatively small Chaparral marque located in Texas. Perhaps their most beautiful design, and one of racing's best looking coupes ever, was the Chaparral 2D they campaigned in 1966. #9502 is a replica of the #7 2D Coupe that won the Nurburgring 1000KM in June, 1966 while #9503 is a replica of the #9 2D Coupe that competed at LeMans in 1966. These authentic replicas are mounted on an SRT chassis:

Designed by Redmond, Washington resident Peter Brock, the Cobra Daytona Coupe's mission was to bring a World Championship to Carroll Shelby and his Cobra marque. The car was developed after Shelby realized the Cobra roadsters would never be able to keep up with Ferrari's coupes at LeMans with their superior top end speed. Although most of the Cobra team didn't think the car would work, Peter knew exactly what he was doing and the car delivered Shelby with his first World Championship in international competition in the mid 60's. The following Daytona Coupes are authentic replicas of those famous race cars.
