When I was 12 in 1968 my parents gave me the Cox Jim Hall Chapparal for my birthday. I have many fond memories of my dad and I running that car on a circular tether. The Chapparal had no pull starter rope. You had to spin the back wheels by hand to start it. I smelled like the gas car fuel all summer long. I miss those days, and my parents!

Back then the Slot cars also. 17 th street Santa Ana had a bad ass track back then.

I had one of those as a kid and wish I still had it. It was a cool little car. I liked the sponginess of the tires too.

yea there cool. Tires where like air filled.

They never made a cooler boys toy than the COX 0.49s ⛽⚡🔥💨 🙉 🚗🚤✈🚙🇺🇸 🏃💨 there needs to be a big documentary and revival of all the styles and vehicles they made. Ill never forget the smell of the glow fuel. And the noise! The whole neighborhood knew when someone was running one. 🙉 I recall a couple electric cars COX made right before they shut down. I have a few 0.49s that look super cool on a shelf. If I could find a glow plug they'd run. And BTY my first car was a yellow dune buggy. Pedal power, circa 1970. I was 4 and loved it. Even when my brother pushed me 50 MPH. WHHEEEEEEEEE!!! I had to put my feet on the hood cause the pedals spun like the front of a snowblower! The Meyers Manx & VW Beetle. & COX Loved them all.

Found two of these on the curb a few weeks ago. The people had a yard sale and getting ready to move. They put a lot of cool old stuff at the curb. Surprisingly one of the buggies is 100% complete and I don’t believe it ever saw fuel. They also tossed a dragster that needs to be restored but the body is not broken and everything is here. Fun toys from a great time to be a kid. Sad that video games and cellphones is pretty much the largest choice of entertainment for so many ..too many kids

You probably will have to clean up the engine if it's all sticky and hard to turn over and get some new parts like glow heads if they are bad or fuel line and the accessories to get it started.. keep in mind these are super slow like 5mph or slower so don't expect a speed demon. 😁
