Just saw a Renault F1 slot on epay (the black wing version) and the seller mentioned it was #2 in the Tyco guide for collectible cars. I've seen a few other cars mentioned here and there as being rare/collectible and referencing this same Tyco guide.

My question is for anyone that has one of these guides...what is the rarest or most collectible of the Indy/F1 cars?

Hey LR,
I checked both books I have and it seems the Renault and the Patrick Indy, have the rarer versions, and also the Alfa-Romeo is listed as a #1 on the rarity scale.
The Valvoline and K-mart cars have versions that are listed as “0” availability (never produced).
The guy I mentioned in the BTTF thread had a “test shot” of an unfinished Marlboro car, and a translucent orange F-1 which would be the rarest I know of.

Cheers..

#22 Marlboro Motta
#15 Black tail Renault
#40 dk blu STP Patrick
These three are listed as 1 on the availability scale
there are numerous # 2 on the same scale.
At one time I had every Indy car/F1 including
all variations, Sadly I decided to sell them all
on epay! Back then I got around 300 bucks for
my black tail and about the same for my dk blu
patrick #40, there is currently one of these on
ebay now that I'm watching to see how high it
goes.

Wow! LOL...I have the #22 Marlboro and the #40 STP. The 22 car isn't in beautiful shape but it's nice and my 40 car IS in immaculate condition since I never really ran it.

Thanks guys!

Great, Take very good care of that #40, playing off your handle "Ligier Runner" I assume you like Ligier's, there is one on ebay that appears to be in C9 condition that has a buy it now for 125.00, this has a rating of 2, in case you are wondering the scale goes to 5 being the easiest to find. P.S. 125.00 is what they go for on average.

Thanks for the tip on that auction. I have one of those but I think there might have been a couple versions. Not sure of that.

My name derives from the Aurora G+ I ran over 20 years ago and helped me grab a trophy or two. That thing was set up sweet and rode the rails absolutely perfectly.

Ligier, Yes there are two versions, on the front wing, one has silver paint and other one was just plain blue, I don't "think" one is any more valuable then the other.

I just got the Coke Cola Tyco stock car, red/white, without a chassis.

What is it worth?

Here is a link to it.

Andrij-it usually goes for $80 to #100 US. Let me know if you want to sell the #5 Valvoline.
