Can somebody tell me anyhing about this car? My dad gave it to me years ago and I forgot I had it. It appears to run on a string, as far as I can tell its never been played with due to all the accessories still being in the origional package. The UPS date on the box is June of 1969.

All I know about them is they are called tether cars. They go in a circle guided by a string. Might be worth something on ebay.
:thumbsup: Very cool though. |

I was wondering how the string came into play. Makes sence cuz tether ball goes in a circle..............(Hey Summer, wanna play me? :D :D :D ). For some reason, i was thinkin it went straight due to lack of steering. Going in a circle you wouldn't have to crash it to stop , just hold the string till she runs outa gas. |

Idea of how they ran them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mtV87AhrGs&feature=related & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEljp0n3Eyc&feature=related The one i have seen have a set amount of fuel, only a couple of cc's & some had a fuel shutoff switch that you would hit with a broom handle to cut the car off. |
