Description
This extremely scarce version of the very popular Cox “La Cucaracha” ready to race model was produced in 1966 in this special packaging for the Montgomery Wards department stores. The “kit” included a fully assembled model, a Cox MK4 controller and boxes containing instructions and tools. Very few have survived and the LASCM is lucky to have been able to acquire this model. The only other known similar model is one of the Chaparral 2 in a similar packaging.
Please note the picture of the “cool cat” on the box, an ironic stab at AMT and Budd Anderson, the “Kool Kat from AMT”. Someone was having fun there at the Cox Center…
