This is a great idea but unless you're mounting them on pan cars, they may only fit on cars with laydown front shocks like the tb-03 and later Tamiya TA series cars

aarivers,
man I love that idea!!! The Porsche 917 vs Ferrari 512S was one of the great classic rivalries in Le Mans racing history. I have another suggestion: How about the vintage Can am cars from the 60s' like the high winged Chaparral 2E, the McLaren M8, the Lola T70, etc. They were awesome racing cars!!
Put them on a pan car and bring back the hub adapters that allow you to mount touring car wheels, such as the HPI vintage wheels you mentioned and we would have something awesome!! There used to be two or three different manufacturers who made those adapters.
Buckaroo is right when he says that 80s' 1/12 and 1/10 cars were more realistic looking than the stuff they have today with the "easter egg" paint schemes and "cookie cutter" bodies. The cars no longer look like a real car and are simply too fast and too expensive! The same thing happened with touring cars which started out as an "everyman" less expensive, realistic appearance racing series, which has unfortunately been hijacked by the so-called "pro" drivers and they have changed it into yet another ultra-expensive series with "cookie cutter" bodies, "easter egg" paint schemes, and those god-awful ugly looking white or neon yellow dish wheels that don't even look real!
Thank god for the Vintage Trans Am series which puts affordability and scale appearance ahead of all-out performance! We need to see more on-road series follow that path if on-road is to grow again!

What would work would be if Tamiya brought back their direct drive car that came with those adapters I mentioned. It was based off an F103 chassis; I forget what it was called; the F103GT I think it was. Not sure. They only discontinued it a year or two ago. Actually if Tamiya just sold the wheel adapters again, you could mount them on an F103 and do the same thing basically.
Then we need to find someone to make the bodies we described, like the 917 and the 512S and the Can Am cars; and then we would really have something awesome! A new Vintage Le Mans or Can Am series! I get excited just thinking about it!!

I'm not sure about the Merc and Jag bodies; but I know they did have a Le Mans Courage body on it that was very scale realistic.
