One of the FIRST kits off the production line at MOEBIUS MODELS – You are buying directly from the owner of the real car! ALL PROFITS are being donated to the DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS (DAV) and THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT (WWP) Once these are sold, there will be NO MORE. One of only SIX kits Countersigned by Racer BOB TULLIUS in 2012. Robert Charles “Bob” Tullius was born 7 December 1930 in Rochester, New York. He is best known as a race car driver and racing team owner. Tullius considered a career in teaching after graduating from high school. He served a term in the US Air Force, and while there quarterbacked the Chanute Air Force base football team until a leg injury put an end to his playing. Tullius took a job in sales with Kodak, first in Rochester and later at Alexander, Virginia. In 1960 Tullius bought a Triumph TR3 for his wife. She rarely drove the car. Tullius took the TR3 to racing school himself, and won the graduation race. In 1972 Tullius was in Bangkok visiting a friend when he was struck in the street by a chauffeur-driven car and injured.Tullius’ racing career began in earnest in 1961, when in his first four races he finished first or second, and won the points championship. For 1962 Tullius asked Triumph to provide him with a TR4 to race, promising to “beat the pants off [their] TR4s with [his] TR3” unless they did. Tullius and Ed Diehl built the proffered TR4 into a racer. Tullius placed second in the TR4 in its first race at Lime Rock, but on its next outing at Lake Garnett, the car was totaled. When Triumph refused to replace the car, Tullius and Diehl bought two more wrecked TR4s and built a replacement car using parts from all three.The decision to pursue motorsports professionally was made in 1963. His supervisor at Kodak forced Tullius to choose between his day job and racing; Tullius opted for racing. He would soon become the principal driver for Triumph’s North American Competition Director Kas Kastner. In 1963 he also appeared in his first 12 Hours of Sebring, and would go on to win six SCCA championship races in the factory TR4.Tullius’ 1975 championship winning Jaguar V-12 E-Type.Tullius’ Jaguar XJR-5 at the 1983 IMSA Camel GT race, Sears Point Raceway Sonoma, Calif.Tullius’ racing career began in earnest in 1961, when in his first four races he finished first or second, and won the points championship.[3] For 1962 Tullius asked Triumph to provide him with a TR4 to race, promising to “beat the pants off [their] TR4s with [his] TR3” unless they did.[4] Tullius and Ed Diehl built the proffered TR4 into a racer. Tullius placed second in the TR4 in its first race at Lime Rock, but on its next outing at Lake Garnett, the car was totaled. When Triumph refused to replace the car, Tullius and Diehl bought two more wrecked TR4s and built a replacement car using parts from all three.Group 44[edit]In 1965 Tullius established his own racing team, named Group 44 Incorporated, to pursue his chosen vocation while supporting his family. Co-founders included mechanic Brian Fuerstenau and New York advertising executive Dick Gilmartin, both of whom were also racing drivers. Gilmartin left Group 44 in 1965.In 1963 the three future founders were sitting in a motel in Sebring working on a name for their team. Gilmartin took a napkin and wrote “Group” on it for the three of them, the “44” was contributed by Tullius, and finally “Incorporated”. Tullius originally asked the SCCA for permission to use the number 1 on his cars because it could be applied with a single line of tape, but was denied. “44” was also taken, so he began using “444”, and dropped the third numeral later. At Lime Rock, Tullius’ wife cut one of the numerals backwards and, lacking a sheet of contact paper to recut it, cut the second “4” in the same way, so that Tullius raced with a reversed “44”.He continued to run cars with some numbers reversed after that.Group 44 developed a three-pronged approach to their business. They raced their own cars, built racing cars for paying customers, and ran an extensive marketing and sponsoring department for vehicle manufacturers and racing teams. The company originally used white with black stripes, but changed the color scheme to include a green stripe when they arranged sponsorship from Quaker State motor oil, a division of Royal Dutch Shell. This sponsorship would last for several decades. The cars were not only well prepared, but immaculately presented. The team also used a unique articulated transporter painted in team colors to ferry their cars between races.Group 44 is exclusively associated with vehicles from British Leyland, initially fielding Triumph TRs and Spitfires and later campaigning models from MG and Jaguar. When Group 44 entered two Jaguar XJR-5 cars in the 1984 24 Hours of Le Mans, it was the first time a Jaguar had raced at Le Mans in 27 years. When Group 44 cars traveled to an event their cars would be displayed at the local British Leyland dealers and the team would be promoted through local media. For a time almost all of British Leyland’s marketing in the United States went through Group 44.Group 44 continued to operate until 1990, only shutting down when the last of their sponsorship contracts expired. The team won 14 national SCCA championships and three Trans Am titles. Among the more than 300 race victories there are also eleven successes in IMSA GTP championship races.Tullius personally raced cars from a wide range of manufacturers, including Alpine, AMC, Chevrolet, Dodge, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Porsche, Ferrari, and Ford.At the inaugural Trans-Am Sedan Championship race on March 25, 1966 at Sebring, Tullius finished second overall and first in the Over 2.0 Litre class in a Dodge Dart. In the final years of Trans-Am Tullius drove Herb Adams’ Gray Ghost Pontiac Tempest.Tullius drove competitively until 1986, retiring after his final win at the 24 Hours of Daytona. He appeared in no fewer than 252 races, winning 38 and posting 43 class wins. In 1965 and 1975 he won the overall standings of the SCCA Championships and in 1977 and 1978, the overall ratings of the category I of the Trans Am Series. In the 1983 IMSA GTP series he finished in second place behind Al Holbert. Three times he was on the pole of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he also won the 1985 GTP class with a 13th-place finish. His best showing at Sebring was a fourth place in 1985.Tullius bought the last TR6 and last TR8 built by British Leyland when production ended.In 1969 he developed an interest in aviation which he continued to pursue after retiring from racing. He became a World War II airplane enthusiast, and participated in several Warbird Air Shows. He also took part in the Young Eagles program operated by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA).His personal hangar in Sebring, Florida held several of his own aircraft. Among them were a North American T-6 Texan, a Fairchild PT-26A, a Waco ZPF-6 biplane and a Beechcraft King Air twin in which he had logged several thousand hours of pilot-in-command time. Tullius also owned a Mustang P-51D, which he donated to the Royal Air Force Museum. Other planes reported to be in the hangar were a Stearman and a North American T-28 Trojan. Sharing space in the hangar with the planes were also a selection of original Group 44 cars.Tullius was inducted into the Sebring Hall of Fame in 2014. He became a member of the SCCA Hall of Fame in 2015. He entered the British Sports Car Hall of Fame in 2017. In 2018, he was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (wikipedia) GUARANTEED to be one of the first 300 model kits of the 1955 Chrysler C-300 produced by Moebius Models of Glenwood, Florida in 2012. These models were delivered to me personally by the President of the company, Frank Winsper, in April of 2012. We sat at my dining room table and signed each numbered Certificate of Authenticity ourselves throughout the afternoon. Mr Tullius’ signature along with mine appear on the bottom of each kit, along with the respective number (“### of 300”). Each kit is registered to the first purchaser. Your name will go on the OWNER REGISTRY as the first owner of this numbered kit. (Of course, this information is NEVER distributed to anyone except the owner of the kit – be they original or subsequent.) NOTE: The photos depict an open kit – #275. This is done only to show you what is inside of each box. You will receive a sealed, unopened kit. Only the bottom corner of the cellophane wrapping has been peeled back so that Mr. Tullius and I could sign. The remainder of the seal is intact and the model has never been opened. The last photo is that of the real car that still resides in my climate-controlled garage. The car has quite a history that began when it was issued from the Chrysler Corporation to Casey Stengel, the manager of the New York Yankees, in May of 1955. It was subsequently given to Hall-of-Fame outfielder, Enos “Country” Slaughter who owned and drove it for 8 years. He sold it to Leonard Shultis of Halcottsville, NY in 1963. Mr. Shultis stored the car in a 3-story barn with several other old cars. This is where the car remained until I bought it in 2003. The real car was shown or displayed at several hundred venues in the Cincinnati, Ohio – Kentucky, Indiana region from 2003 to 2005; then, here in Florida at various locations from 2006 to 2014. It has won hundreds of awards, ribbons, trophies and accolades and is registered with the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) “Historical Preservation of Original Features” (HPOF) class. It has been featured in several magazines such as “American Icons”; “Street Thunder”; and “Antique Automobile.” The inside of the trunk is signed by several automobile, military and baseball celebrities such as: Don Garlits; Chip Foose; Geoff Bodine; Jack Roush; Bob Tullius; Laurence Gartel; Pete Rose; Wayne Carini; Dennis Gage; Sir Stirling Moss; Bobby Allison; Brock Yates; Hurley Haywood; Brian Redman; Paul Tibbets; Lyn St. James; Ford Heacock….among others. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************ At this time, the following numbers are available for purchase: (If you do not specify a number requested with your purchase (use the message section when making payment, or just send a message through “contact the seller”), I will send the lowest number available) – THIS LIST WILL BE UPDATED WITH EVERY PURCHASE. 087088089090 WATCH FOR THE UPDATES TO THIS LIST WITH EVERY PURCHASE.
