ID? 1970's Dragster cars

[Walter1965]

Hello All,Im new to the group and am glad to be here.Can anyone identify these cars from the seventees and who made them?Im sorry that the ad is in German.My Aunt gave these to myself and my brother many years ago for Christmas and I remember that they were great!Im pretty sure that they ran on C cell batteries.With each shift of the gears,the center wheel underneath the rearend would spin faster and faster until the car was launched.Im going to attach a photo.Many Thanks Walter

Walter, I tried to post that picture for you, but it doesn't work from the picture viewing site. Anyhow, anyone can click on the link you provided and see the dragster's in the picture. I just don't know what their name is. Maybe Habsbro manufactured them.

Possibly a Radio Shack item?

Here you go.

Stick-Shifters

Stick Shifters..described as "an SSP variation". I think they were made by Hasbro which would account for them being shown with GI JOE.

The link above describes a "red coupe". This is it...I think.
