1976 Porsche 935 TT Busch Burago 1:25

The Porsche 935 was a race car developed and manufactured by German automaker Porsche. Introduced in 1976 as the factory racing version of the 911 (930) Turbo and prepared for FIA-Group 5 rules, it was an evolution of the Carrera RSR 2.1 turbo prototype, the second place overall finisher in the 1974 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Beginning with the 1977 season, Porsche offered the 935 to customers entering the World Championship for Makes, in the IMSA GT Championship and in the German Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft (DRM). The 935 went on to win the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans overall, and other major endurance races, including Sebring, Daytona, and the 1,000 km Nürburgring. Of the 370 races it was entered, it won 123.[1]

Usually, no other make could challenge the 935, as other manufacturers did not supply customer cars as Porsche did. Each race, at the time, typically featured at least five 935s. The 935 used a 3.3L Type 935 twin-turbocharged flat-six engine which used a mechanical fuel injection system. All of the high performance components combined enabled the engine to have a power output up to 630 kW (845 hp; 857 PS), the engine often produced turbo lag at low RPM due to the large turbochargers. The dominance of the 935 ended with changes in the FIA rules which came into effect in 1982, replacing the six numbered groups with only three groups, namely A, B and C.

1976 Ferrari 512 BB Burago Made In Italy scale 1:24

Un Ferrari 512 BB de la marca Burago Hecho en Italia en escala 1:24, incompleto y le ando buscando la pieza faltante que es el limpia brizas, o se lo voy a fabricar.

The 365 GT4 BB was updated as the BB 512 in 1976, resurrecting the name of the earlier Ferrari 512 racer. The name 512 referred to the car's 5 litre, 12 cylinder engine; a deviation from Ferrari's established practice of naming 12-cylinder road cars (as the 365 BB) after their individual cylinder displacement. The engine was enlarged to 4943 cc, with an increased compression ratio of 9.2:1. Power was slightly down to 360 PS (265 kW; 355 hp), while a dual plate clutch handled the added torque and eased the pedal effort. Dry sump lubrication prevented oil starvation in hard cornering. The chassis remained unaltered, but wider rear tires (in place of the 365's equally sized on all four corners) meant the rear track grew 63 mm.

External differentiators included a new chin spoiler upfront, incorporated in the bumper. A NACA duct on the side provided cooling for the exhaust system. At the rear there were now twin tail lights and exhaust pipes each side, instead of triple units as on the 365 GT/4 BB.

929 BB 512 models were produced.

1976 Ferrari 512 BB DAYTONA Scale 1:43 Made In Italy Burago

BB512

El 365 GT4 BB se actualizó como BB 512 en 1976, resucitando el nombre del Ferrari 512 anterior. El nombre "512" se refiere al motor de 5 litros y 12 cilindros del automóvil; una desviación de la práctica establecida de Ferrari de nombrar los coches de carretera de 12 cilindros (como el 365 BB) según su cilindrada.

El motor se amplió a 4943 cc,​ con una relación de compresión aumentada de 9,2:1. La potencia se redujo ligeramente a 360 hp, mientras que un embrague de doble disco gestionaba el par adicional y aligeraba el esfuerzo a ejercer sobre el pedal. El cárter seco evitaba la falta de aceite en las curvas pronunciadas. El chasis permaneció inalterado, pero los neumáticos traseros más anchos (en lugar de los 365 del mismo tamaño) significaron que la vía trasera creció 63 mm.

Los detalles externos diferenciadores incluyeron un nuevo deflector delantero inferior, incorporado en el parachoques. Un conducto NACA en el lateral mejoraba la refrigeración del sistema de escape. En la parte trasera ahora había dos luces y tubos de escape a cada lado, en lugar de unidades triples como en el 365 GT/4 BB.5

Se produjeron 929 unidades del BB 512.

1976 Ford Gran Torino STARSKY & HUTCH 1:24 Greenlight

From Wikipedia:

The Ford Torino is an automobile that was produced by Ford for the North American market between 1968 and 1976. It was a competitor in the intermediate market segment. The car was named after the city of Turin (Torino, in Italian), considered "the Italian Detroit". The Torino was initially an upscale variation of the intermediate sized Ford Fairlane. After 1968, the Fairlane name was retained for the base models with lower levels of trim than those models which wore the Torino name. During this time, the Torino was considered a subseries to the Fairlane. By 1970 Torino had become the primary name for Ford's intermediate, and the Fairlane was now a subseries of the Torino. In 1971 the Fairlane name was dropped altogether, and all Ford intermediates were called Torino. This name was one of several originally proposed for the Mustang while in development. The Torino was essentially a twin to the Mercury Montego line.

Most Torinos were conventional cars, and generally the most popular models were the 4-door sedans and 2-door hardtops. However, Ford produced some high-performance versions of the Torino by fitting them with large powerful engines, such as the 428 cu in (7.0 L) and 429 cu in (7.0 L) "Cobra-Jet" engines. These cars are classified as muscle cars. Ford also chose the Torino as the base for its NASCAR entrants, and it has a successful racing heritage.

1976 March 761 Ronnie Peterson 1:43 F1

From Wikipedia:
 Bengt Ronnie Peterson (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈrɔ̌nːɪ ˈpêtːɛˌʂɔn]; 14 February 1944 – 11 September 1978) was a Swedish racing driver. Known by the nickname 'SuperSwede', he was a two-time runner-up in the Formula One World Drivers' Championship.

Peterson began his motor racing career in kart racing, traditionally the discipline where the majority of race drivers begin their careers in open-wheel racing. After winning a number of karting titles, including two Swedish titles in 1963 and 1964, he moved on to Formula Three, where he won the Monaco Grand Prix Formula Three support race for the 1969 Grand Prix. Later that year he won the FIA European Formula 3 Championship and moved up into Formula One, racing for the March factory team. In his three-year spell with the team, he took six podiums, most of which were scored during the 1971 Formula One season in which he also finished as runner-up in the Drivers' Championship.

After seeing out his three-year contract at March, Peterson joined Colin Chapman's Team Lotus in the 1973 season, partnering defending champion Emerson Fittipaldi. During his first two seasons with Lotus, Peterson took seven victories, scoring a career-best 52 points in 1973. After a poor 1975 season, Peterson moved back to March and scored his final victory for the team at the 1976 Italian Grand Prix. After spending the 1977 season with Tyrrell, he moved back to Lotus for the 1978 season as number two driver to Mario Andretti. Peterson scored two wins, at the South African and Austrian Grand Prix races, and finished second in the Drivers' Championship standings despite his fatal first-lap accident at Monza during the Italian Grand Prix.

1976 Ferrari 312 T2 Niki Lauda F1 1:43 Ixo

From Wikipedia:
 El Ferrari 312T, también 312T2, 312T2B, 312T3, 312T4 y 312T5, fue un monoplaza de Fórmula 1 diseñado por el ingeniero Mauro Forghieri de Ferrari. Tuvo su debut en el Gran Premio de Sudáfrica de 1975 y su última carrera fue el de Estados Unidos de 1980. Participó en un total de 90 carreras, ganó 27 en 61 podios y logró 19 pole positions y 25 vueltas rápidas.

Con este monoplaza, en diferentes versiones, Ferrari triunfó en los Campeonatos de Constructores de 1975, 1976, 1977 y 1979, Niki Lauda en el Campeonato de Pilotos de 1975 y 1977, y Jody Scheckter en el de 1979. Clay Regazzoni, Carlos Reutemann y Gilles Villeneuve fueron los otros tres pilotos que condujeron este vehículo, todos logrando más de una victoria cada uno.

Luego de cuatro temporadas exitosas para el equipo, en 1980 se presentó el 312T5. Solo sumó 8 puntos, siendo el peor resultado de Ferrari en la historia del Campeonato de Constructores: 10.º.​ Para 1981, fue remplazado por el Ferrari 126C de motor turbo.

El monoplaza estaba impulsado por un motor bóxer de 3 litros y 12 cilindros con una potencia de alrededor de 500 CV. La configuración de cilindros opuestos permitía que el vehículo tuviera un centro de gravedad más bajo, dándole mayor estabilidad en las curvas. La denominación del vehículo se debe a su cilindrada (3), número de cilindros (12) y el hecho que su caja tuviera una disposición transversal (T) con respecto al eje del motor.
