Sorry, I had to go and didn't get a chance to answer about the blister boxed models.
To be honest I don't collect these so know of the models but nothing about them or their variants, so not sure what you want to know about these models. They look fairly standard issue models to me.
Blister pack camper van, again looks fairly standard to me.

Blister packs can be opened and resealed.

thanks for your answers... blisters intact ... here you can see slingshot base.

Looks good to me. I liked this one the best as it looked the most genuine.
If you scroll down the page below the FORUM tag next time your on you will see a tag tittled OPP's which shows many models like your slingshot dragster.
In fact I think I saw a post recently where they were requesting entries for this section and your slingshot dragster would fit perfectly there.

Thanks for showing all your interesting models. Keep them coming if you have more.
Never go paying too much for these types of models. They are interesting but mostly not very valuable. Unfortunately now a days there are to may people out there trying to make a quick buck out of unsuspecting collectors.
Doing what you have done is the right thing - seeking the help of other or experienced collectors but make sure you learn from it and build up your own knowledge bank. This is the best place to learn. There are many threads here that will help you.

In future if buying any of these types of models or rare models ask here about them first. If no one here has seen one or got one or it not listed anywhere there is a good chance it's not what it seems.

Hi, it looks to be you're an error wheel collector.
Interesting specimen you have there.
As Idris wrote, both n° 64 rivets look odd to me. The hole in the base plate from the SF wheeled version looks bigger than the rivet.
I've never seen a Stretcha Fetcha with dd wheels. Interesting!
The Camper Blister looks to me opened and resealed, again maltese cross wheels - interesting!
What's the matter with the n° 43 Dragon Wheels with the curios red wheel from the Mod Rod? I can see this on your first picture!
Hope we can see closer pics soon.

Thanks for your answer Superfast! Yes i like error wheeled cars and I have a lot of them/SF,Offshore and RW/. Camper s blister is fine. Here you can see Dragon Wheels with red front wheels. Thanks again Zsolt

fine base and blister of Camper

The dragon wheels must be a lunch time special, because you can't add wheels with another colour without intention.
I don't know the time line of the dragon wheels and I don't know if the time from the red wheels match with the time of the dragon bug.
Thanks SF

I think this is probably the case for the Slingshot Dragster too. I have one that was my sister's from new: I never liked it and still don't!

On this model, the back axle is the same width as the front, at around 31.5 mm. The front cross member is around 23 mm wide. The back wheels are 6.5 mm wide. So to fit these on the front would need an axle of (6.5 x 2) + 23 = 36 mm. This would mean finding a longer axle from somewhere. You can see this on porub1's base picture - the front track is wider than the back. I don't think the longer axle would have just been there in front of them on the production line.

There is no solid evidence that any of these “errors” are genuine factory errors, and I suspect some tomfoolery may be a more acceptable explanation. I am very sceptical, sorry if that offends any one but some of the errors presented are frankly ridiculous. Furthermore I propose that this entire thread be deleted! I am concerned that we may be experiencing some FAKE NEWS and therefore I would suggest caution with these posts. And furthermore if the admin don’t like my posts then please ban me!!!
