Manufactured in the 1960's by Classic Competition Car Parts of Classic Industries, Los Angeles, CA USA. Classic Industries Founded by Sam Bergman, a wealthy 30-year old oil-heir in 1964, Classic started by selling a sidewinder aluminum frame also used by BZ, and obtained from an outside supplier. The Classic version was silver-anodized. Bergman hired well-known industrial designer, John Power, to engineer a car that could be taken straight out of the box and win races, something that just did not exist at the time. John created the Manta Ray, a simple car powered by Classic’s version of the FT36. Sold in a display box with a spare Lotus 30 body, the Manta Ray was an incredible success and this even though it cost nearly twice as much as a typical kit. Over one million were sold. The rather ungainly orange car greatly appealed to the younger crowd, to the dismay of scale fanatics. Purists quickly named them “thingies”, and the name stuck. Powers designed a second car, the Viper, and a third, the Asp, which were equally successful. Classic, now run by expatriate Latvian Ilmars Kersels, was firmly established in the RTR and kit market, working 24 hours a day on three shifts.My Dad owned a Hobby Shop that closed in the early 1970's, and he kept some of the more interesting slot cars and accessories from that era.
