The World Champion Osella is back at home here at Stormers. Bud Bartos drove this body to a world championship in 1984 in Denmark! And now it's back for your race car or vintage restoration. The original Parma Osella. One of the greatest handling 1/12th bodys ever made.
Made in 1984, these bodies are being pulled from the Original Parma mold, by Parma exclusively for Stormer Hobbies.
These have the overspray film on them (old ones, no film), and we had Parma engrave a "K" on the lower back part of the body mold, that wouldn't be on the originals. The K is to show respect and give props to Parma founder Ken MacDowell, and show it's a current pull of the body. It's on the back, on the piece you trim off. But it's there, and I think it's important to show that respect for both Ken, Parma, and the collector crowd.
We kinda guess that they were originally discontinued about 1991-1992 or so, and now they're back home here at Stormer. Race them, or put them on your shelf queen. Stormer had the Osella's made for you, and we're proud to bring back a small piece of history for all of us. :)
Note from Bob Stormer:
"... I'm glad we did this. This body is a rich part of our 1/12 history, and I remember tearing up a fair amount of these back in the day. Great handling body, right there with the TOJ. Just to look at it, the Osella puts a smile on my face. I hope it does for you too."
