964 Cups are my favorite to collect, right alongside 914's. In addition to the 1/43rd scale models, there's a smaller, 1/60 or 1/80 something scale that's fairly detailed for its size. Think I have 20 or so 1/43 scale 964 cup models.

Nice Lonnie, very classy
Good eyes Jamie!
I've been told this was a gift to my grandfather (a doctor), from a patient of his - the ambassador of Peru. It is indeed quite old and is carved wood. Very light wood. It had a prominent spot on a shelf in the living room of my grandparent's apartment. When I was a little kid I asked what it was and was told that this was actually an extended index finger (yeah, right!) and in Peruvian culture it was a gesture for good luck (that I actually do believe, or that Ambassador was really mad at my grandpa)
Then it mysteriously disappeared from the shelf for quite some time...I found it as a teenager and being a rebel, took ownership of it, so now it's been with me for a while.

Here are a couple pics of the real ones.
I have a bunch of these models, some still new in the box in a box in storage. I'll find out what I have if anyone would care. Here is a pic of my 93 MAXCOM car in the series and in a Speedvision event some years ago. Yes I have three models of this one. Go figure. LOL

Im up to 10 of these cars with my sights set on collecting the entire set.
At the LA Porsche Literature and Toy event this year there was one vendor that had 2 cases of these cars, new in the box and untouched. I wish I had saved his contact info.
