Mario Andretti 1967 Indy 500

[alwaysindy]

Mario griped the entire month of May 1967 that Parnelli was “sandbagging” in the Turbine…come race day, Parnelli was sixth at the start…he passed 3 cars in turn one and stalked Andretti (the Pole Sitter) out of turn 2 onto the back straight…as he blew by, Mario gave him the “you’re number 1 sign”…

I hope this doesn’t offend anyone…it is documented as true by both Mario and Parnelli…

The DVL Special was a beautiful car made right at the beginning of wings for aero…

A great Lance Sellers kit…he saved me on decals, not once but 3 times…Thanks Lance!

Mario would fall out of the race early, but Parnelli fell out late…


Thanks for stopping by! Comments, questions welcome!

You can contact Lance Sellers, but I’m pretty sure it is no longer available…

I don't believe this kit is available from Lance at the present time.  However, every once in a while Lance will do a reissue of a kit if he gets enough interest in it.  You can contact him at
