1/18 Scale LE 3000

1976 Indy Winner #2 Johnny Rutherford Hy-Gain 1/18 scale by Carousel 1. Limited Edition 3000 pieces.

The 1976 Indy 500 was the shortest in history, with just one lap more than the minimum required for an official race. For the third year out of four, the distance was cut short because of rain. Former winner Johnny Rutherford qualified for the pole position and raced against fellow Texan AJ Foyt to an exciting 15 second victory. Foyt often thought he could have caught Rutherford if the race resumed. But it was called after a 2 ½ hour rain delay and Rutherford won for the 2nd time in 3 years.

Detailed cockpit, clear-faced gauges, die-cast engine, full chassis detail, imprinted marking, positionable front wheel, hinged hood, removable cowling
