Kyosho stock car Added pictures

[bearrickster]

The same little shop I got my pro-x from also has a NIB On Road car that looks like a Formula-1 racecar. it looks like a F1 but it come's with a stock car body? if anybody wants it I can pick it up for you he wants around 200.00 for it but its still sink rapped new!! the chassis looks like this?

[Mr. ED]

I think I have seen that in their mini catalogs : there's a 1/12th... Buick?
I have never seen what's under that shell, but the wheels sure look like the ones on most pan-cars

When kyosho came out with their on road series (ultima based cars), they also released some open wheel models. My buddy had the penzoil car. Kyosho also had a full bodied toyota GTP on this chassis.

I don't recall ever seeing a stockcar version with this chassis. The only stock car I remember them releasing was the Lumina that was based on the slingshot chassis.

They also had a Target car, but that was a couple years later.

That buick used the same chassis as the alta porsche.

[Mr. ED]

the 1/12 kit is number 3054 : Buick stocker
I have it in the mini-catalog of sept 1990 (french version)
Looks pretty mean

The penzoil F1 car... I assembled one for a friend; but that thad a gearbox based on an ultima's internals; not direct drive as Rick pictures. Then, around 95 there was the impress F1 which rembles the picture about as much as any F1 of that time.

Rick how close is that picture; just similar or is that a picture of the same chassis, just, less new???
For 200 I'd say leave it in the shop: no way you'll make a profit on it after adding the shipping cost.

[Mr. ED]

by the way: I don't believe I have ever seen a kyosho kit shrink wrapped in a european store.

That's cause Kyosho kits aren't shrink wrapped...you can open up the box. We use to tape the boxes shut in our shop for security purposes.

That's what I tought; just bringing Rick up to speed

I wasnt trying to make any money just trying to pass on a nib deal? the car has that same picture on the box but has I think a Lumina stock car body its called a K-5 I think? I will stop by tomorrow and take a pic and post them up tomorrow night.

[bearrickster]

Well its a SR-5 not a K-5? here you go pic's of the kit it is srinkraped and he said it came that way? it been sitting here in his shop since around 1994-95 untouched?? if anybody wants it your looking at about 250 shipped I will be happy to go get it and ship it anywere? overseas shipping will be a little more. its only about 40 miles away so its not a big deal to go get it. but its not anything I want so if you do let me know? Looks like a Tbird body but who knows?

[Mr. ED]

Thanks for posting these pics Rick.

I have never seen this car before. I wonder if it was a kyosho US product or especially developed by Japan for the US market

[purpletimbo]

Apologies, it was listed last year, not clear if it sold, I was hoping a NZ guy on here might be registered to contact him, or find out?
