Ralph Ratcliffe had this very special model of the 1972 "Mystery Eagle" Indy race car on display at the 2010 East Coast Meet in Springfield, MA. Ralph used Masterbilt Models pre production resin parts to create his model. This car almost won the 1972 Indianapolis 500 before being penalized for taking on fuel from his teammate's fuel supply. Grant was eventually given 12th place after finishing right behind race winner Mark Donohue. This full size car has been restored and you can check it out at: http://www.tsrfcars.com/toys-full_size_eagle.htm
