Do I see a Delta type diff axle...?

What the heck is it?
rc-car-museum comes up with nothing... and rccarmuseum.org too... There's got to be some other reference site...

Wow, Delta gear diff, Delta-esque body posts, and a G10 fiberglass chassis... I don't know if I have ever seen anything like it. Obviously before my time, which could mean Leisure, Jomac, WorkRite or even early Bolink. The later model Losi motor throws me off completely. I have no idea... neat find, whatever it is.

Looks to technical to be from Bolink. I don't have a clue.

well...someone knows what it is...there's activity by some of the regular vintage 1/12th buyers...
What's a WorkRite car look like?
A few more pics of the mystery machine:

The pod and t-plate look kinda Delta-ish, and the left hub too. The front end...?
I want it, that's for sure!

That looks like a normal 10L ball diff axle, purpletimbo. The one I posted is a gear diff...

I'm not so sure it's a Bolink...
This is a 1981 Challenger:
This is a late '70's Electricar (that Jay sold):
Got pics of the car you're remembering?

The car is an AYK Parsec... William Cline was nice enough to tell me. I've invited him to our world.

I don't think there was a Kyosho Parsec, but there was the French Parsec 1/8th scale on-road car.
