The second coupe in the legendary line of racing cars was a deadly weapon in the eyes of the competition. Its 427 all-aluminum big-block Chevy engine produced between 475 and 525 bhp at 6,000 rpm depending on its level of tune. Phil Hill, Mike Spence, Bob Johnson and Bruce Jennings were all invited to apply their talent.
To honor this unique American racing classic, we designed every conceivable component with great care and accuracy. Each wonderful miniature replica features 7 to 9 opening parts depending on body configuration and a wealth of furious detail. Furious detail and finish have been pushed to even higher Exoto limits!
Exoto is proud to bring you a Type 2F replica unlike any other. Our grand 1:18 scale replica is a feast for the senses that will change the way you look at die-cast collectibles!
The removable body panels fit together with unparalleled precision. Butterfly doors open on piano hinges that are flush with the bodywork, and the drivers door is held open by a functioning hydraulic shock. Photo-etch metal and genuine wire mesh parts add subtle detail to an aerodynamically efficient body and a glorious paint finish.
Beneath the skin you will find miles of real metal wire, genuine braided lines, functioning steering and suspension, accurately routed air ducts including flexible brake cooling hoses, machined aluminum brake discs that turn within fixed calipers, accurate chassis with all the aerodynamic tricks, fabric seat belts with photo-etch hardware, and more...
