Even though I have not opened my Superfast boxes in at least 30 years, can I also share the joy of Mick and Hugh agreeing on some views that I also personally share as well now. It is definitely cause for an online party today, but we must not let Nick pick the party hats. I don't wear silver very well myself......LOL
I quickly checked Bob Brennen's Superfast Guide included with his second printing in 1973. The only Road Dragsters #19 he has listed are the following:
A. Red, labels facing same direction as model.
B. Red, labels facing sideways.
C. Flourescent red, labels facing same direction as model.
All three are listed with 'Slicks'.
Because the last models listed are from 1971, the Superfast pages were not updated for this 1973 printing at all. What a shame there are no 'Scorpion' answers there during the time they were being found in the stores. kwakers

I've got a couple of models, both came cheap because I won't pay a premium for obvious reasons. They're not in brilliant condition, but not too bad.
