Try contacting a company in your area that supplies machines for arcades.
There is often one company that leases the machines to more than one arcade.
Sometimes they sell the old machines outright and maybe you could get
something cheap, possibly with defunct electronics. They might also be able
to help you contact the manufacturers of the mock-up cars via the
manufacturers of the arcade machines.
Just a thought
