Description: Carousel 1 1957 Indianapolis Indy 500 winning offy race car #9 Belond Special driven by Sam Hanks. This limited production 10 inch race car is very well done with details, hood that lifts, nice original display box and color. COA and all original box with light storage wear. This was Sam's thirteenth attempt to win the Indy 500, and he retired from racing in Victory Lane. Hanks received a record $103,844 for his win of a total record purse of $300,000. This car won again the next year in 1958 with Jimmy Bryan piloting the very same chassis. The lay down Offy cars started in 1957, lowering the center of gravity, and lasted until the mid 60's rear engine revolution. Please check the photos as they are part of the description and this is the car you will receive. Not in the box....a few flaws pictured .....my little boy got ahold of them they were my father's and would like someone who will treasure them to have them. One piece by the back wheel is attached but I'm not sure where it belongs and front windshield looks like it may have been split. I believe all of this I do to be correct but I'm def not an expert. Please ask questions!
