Purchase and Availability
Due to its age (now pushing 40 years old!) and historical significance, the Tyco Super Stockers Petty vs. Yarborough is a popular collectable in the slot car racing community, though so far it's been generally available on eBay and if it's not just save a keyword search and eventually one will pop up.
As a collectible for NASCAR fans, vintage slotcar enthusiasts, and those who admire the legendary careers of Richard Petty, Kyle Petty, and Cale Yarborough it seems like a fairly good buy.
