http://www.ebay.com/itm/151364522256?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 i believe that these were used at a amusement park a long time ago. waiting for an answer back to see where these were used. main plan is to keep one and a couple bodies and sell off the rest after taking off all the un-needed metal parts.

Nice score. IIRC there are a couple of threads about amusement park RC10's somewhere on this forum.

I'm sure I remember at least one thread about it, but not sure on how long ago it was. It might have been lost in the forum crossover way back when. Maybe someone else will remember it and chime in.

I was watching that thread. Somehow I'm not surprised you're the one who bought it.
I've got a couple VW bodied cars that were used for Amusement Parks or County Fairs.

My orange orange car has those same tires. I tried researching them a bit, but found nothing. I wonder if the Polar Bear name has anything to do with the company that converted these for amusement park use.

Nice Score! They look like they would be great cars for the kids. The Capri bodies look pretty sweet.

There was a guy awhile back who sold 30 or 40 RC10s he'd gotten from a high school that had been a shop project. I bought a couple of them and they cleaned up to almost like new. Only trouble was dry rot. When you list them on ebay, post a link
