Progress has a lexan buggy body and Gallop has a Javelin like cage. Darryn has a pic and a little text on his site about these cars: http://www.darrynsretrorc.rtox.com/kyoshomainpage.htm
True, it could possibly be the first Gallop, but not a Gallop MKII because the MKII has 2 front shocks and that big plastic number-plate on the front, which the Craigslist chassis lacks.

Lohas Red Prince Frog nose piece maybe...got the notch on the back looks like the red fox by lohas but the sides have more holes...
Found the red prince an its not that nose piece or any of the current kits on the Lohas site but it sure looks like it. Check out CNA75's thread for the red fox here and see what I mean:http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=20544&hilit=red+prince+frog

I've seen a few RC10's with that nose, and I think the header card even said it would fit, but I'm not positive.

Edit: Found pic of header card:

I've seen that front end adapted to the rc10 also. The bolt pattern is the same but haven't ever seen a header card so I can't vouch for that.

That rollbar is for a Big Brute. The bumper and side exhaust in the 6th pic are for a Lunch Box. I'd say the adjustable motor mount in the same pic is a CRP one.

Pretty sure the red carriers in photo 1 fit the Rear of a Super Shot II. The rest of the bits and sway bar are probably in that same late 1980's Tamiya era (Super Sabre etc) but someone around here will know for sure.

I can confirm the frp is the CRP motor mount...
