I finally got one. Built and never run, even.












My wife doesn't know why I'm running around the house like a little kid on Christmas morning. She wouldn't understand anyway.


Oh my.

My Holy Grail of vintage R/C cars.







Needs a body an a wing, which should probably take the other half of my life to find. But who cares? I GOT ONE! wOOt!


I know Jay has at least one. Who else has them here?

Good for you! And please share with us, where did you find such a treasure?

I know Shodog/Jim has one.

I did something I don't normally do... I made an offer to someone on eBay to change an auction to a Buy It Now. My thought was, if I didn't do it, someone else will. All is fair in love and war. At the price I saw the last new/unused one sell for last winter, I needed to take a shot in the dark, and it worked.



Andy's Mercedes oval body and all...

Very cool! I LOVE that body! I know what you are after, but I would leave that body just as is. PM coming on you body issue.

sweet looking car, doug. congrats.

That is defiently one clean looking buggy. The RPS yokomo is one of my favorites also

That's a cherry rps yoke there! I like the lines on that body........ w/ some andy's paint too

that's the one from Dr Robotnik, aka Ed, and the highest bidder sounds familiar too

The body, itself, is one of the rarest dirt oval bodies ever made. The fact that it was Andy's handiwork for a Team driver and has never been used is jaw dropping. This car was built for a big event at Radio Controlled Hobbies in Costa Mesa, CA, as a display car for Checkpoint and Andy's, and sat in a case until now. Twenty freakin' years with a body on it under glass display!

For the price, I'm shocked. I'm expecting some rust or even broken parts on a car this old, but it looks super clean in the photos. Now to get on my search for period correct electronics. I have some photos somewhere of the World Championship Gil Losi car somewhere—I need to find them. Might need to do a replica...

Here you go Doug:

Thanks!

I just found this one, too...

Gonna have to dig out my old decals and new artwork for the Ranch Pit Stop, Trinity and RPS decals. May need to do some replicas of those...

Can do, if any one has an original that would be great. I would like some too.
