I have 2 of the blue and white Minolta and 2 of the red and white Denso Toyota's. One of the blue ones like your have yellowed white paint but the others are like new. Like many of us retired guys I took my sealed box off a garage shelf that was under a sealed box of HO train sets and have been cleaning and repairing them but have kept all the original parts of course. My chassis are different than the one you displayed. They have Aurora Tomy AFX on the chassis but look more like Viper V Spec which I have recently purchased several because they are so fast. On 2 of the cars the rear tires where rotted and only one pickup shoe had worn a hole in it. I cleaned and tuned them up and they all run really well. It is nice to see people are having a renewed interest in this fun hobby again. I set up a pretty large track but kept it fairly simple with no crossovers but have several banked turns and three long straights approximately 16 feet by 4 feet and just 2 lanes which made it easier to maintain. I bought another AFX set with the 4 Indy cars along with all kinds of tires, tune up kits AFX collector series Alfa Romeo Indy, Ford GT, Camaro and C-8 Corvette Cars. Needless to say I am having a blast with my Friends and Grandchildren. It also uses up some of my spare time since I am happily retired and am hooked again just like I was as a kid. I have taken quite a few pictures of the original Thunder loop sets. I have had the two sets for decades shrink wrapped in the garage ......

I have that Minolta car. Mines new and has been in the dark all these years. I think it was one of the last cars we bought before my boys moved on. I’m just getting back into it because I’m semi retired now. Thanks for the content. New sub.

You will love the TFX chassis from OS3 (one stop slot shop) They run super smooth and make great power. Enjoy !

Be very careful with the hydrogen prioxide it will dull the colors in my experience. I use Novus #2 on a q tip on the white then #1 on the whole car with decent results. If you find a better option please share! Great haul! 😁👍🏁

I have also used NOVUS 1 and 2 that way. Works really well. BTW, ironically the best place I have found to get NOVUS 1, 2 and 3 is at Harley Davidson dealerships.
