The autounion was damaged beyond salvage

I want to throw my 70 GTO Pro Street into the mix, but, I'm not sure it qualifies. Although, I did base it on a real car.
So, does it qualify?

Hey Murphy,
I'd say it qualifies, it's classic and it's a race car sooo..
Go for it!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers

My Matra Simca was completed during the 24 hour of LeMans. I posted these photos back in July,

I have painted ang glued the chasis and the engine, made some dust all around. The body and the cockpit needs some work. I will try to finish the Mercedes 300 SLR "Mille Miglia" by the end of this weekend, but seems like I do not stand a chance. I will try to do my best, though.
I will take the pictures tonight and post them.
Regards.

Thanks for the kind words, Scott,.... The Fischer resin models are very simple kits to put together, with only the vacu-formed clear parts to give you concerns, I would highly recommend any of his models. Since the completion of this Matra, I've gone and purchased an additional two Matra resin cars, great looking LeMans racers.

So far I have assembled the chasis, engine etc, and this is the current update:
Hopefully I will finish it next week.
Best regards.
