Me too! I still have the model kit with both interiors to use it as a slot car or static model.

The 904/6 is my absolute dream car! What does such a Beck Replica cost?

Try pitting it against the flathead V12 Hot Rod Lincoln! The guy beside me thought I'd lost my sense! The telephone polls looked like a picket fence...

Nothing compared to watching them at the Nurburgring. Its hilarious!

+Ducksauce It was a race group comprised of BMWs racing for National points plus a handful of non-BMWs. The Beck 904 and a Corvette had qualified in the top several spots but were gridded at the back of the field to give the BMWs an unobstructed opportunity for their National points... but that decision effectively eliminated any opportunity for a non-BMW to be an outright winner. A very fast Corvette, having qualified in either the first or second spot, withdrew from the race in protest.

After seeing what this guy did the Corvette may have won. He should of just raced, and maybe embarrassed them. Was first place way out ahead at the end, or could he maybe of chased him down? You would think they could of just gave out points to the BMWs from the positions they came in relative to other BMWs. Then just kept the other cars positions relative to where they finished against each other. Made for allot of passing, but that can be dangerous to them classics. Still looked like he had fun.

Good fun! Would have been nice to see him battle it out with the winner, just for fun.

Wasn't the original 904 fibreglass?

Many years ago, historic and vintage "racing" was just a place to bring old race cars that were in an "as-raced" configuration and basically non-competitive with modern and current classes and gave people a chance to see these old warriors. Because of the nature and value of the cars, most ran them hard, but were not racing full-out because what is the point? Their championships and status were determined decades ago. Today, many cars in vintage racing have only turned a wheel in recent years, having never been on a racetrack before. Of course, some of these are now 10 or 20 years old, but they still never turned a wheel when they were current, i.e., '60s cars that never raced until '90s or '00s. Also, they are often filled with replicas, usually Cobras. More "Cobras" race today than were made in the '60s. Another are the Grand Sport replicas. Five originals were built, but you will often see several in today's racing. Plus many of them are all-out racing, putting out 500 or more ponies, running on modern rubber, and pushing harder than anyone 50 or 60 years ago did because they have modern "safety" devices like 4 stage dry sump, six or eight piston Wilwood brakes, fiberglass springs, modern suspension links, modern featherweight multi-disk clutches, rear ends bulletproof thanks to decades of drag racing development, and so on. And it is what it is. The rich boys still play by the Golden Rule. They have the gold and they make the rules. And it strokes their egos thinking they are as good or better than those who did this long ago.
