Sounds like a tyco 40' ford coupe. Chromy engine glued to the hood? It would be an HP7 (can-motor solid bar traction magnet) or a 440x2 wide chassis (motor parts and magnets installed individually) It came in several diferent paints too! What ever the colors and chassis, I LOVE that 5 window coupe!

Probably an old Aurora Willys. Some Aurora cars came with a decal sheet enclosed with cutesy sayings.

Hello,


That car is a Tyco HP-7 from the Hot Rod series. There were 4 cars offered--The 80's Corvette, the 60 Corvette, the 57 Chev, and the 40 Ford Coupe. There were 2 colour versions of that particular Ford, one blue, the other red. All of the cars in the series had the blowers sticking on the hood.


Cheers..

It could be the Willies Aurora Xlerator series, I recall that "Bad to the Bone" as one of the vintage water slide decals?

Boss9 nailed it. It's a Tyco Classic Hot Rods Car. And the chassis is most likely an HP7.

Valuewise, it's not much of an amount.

Without looking at the picture it is a TYCO. I had one just like it. As mentioned before it came with the HP7 chassis under it. :)

It's a Tyco for sure. Some of the cars in this series came with the HP440 chassis, which is basically a pan version of the 440 chassis (single traction magnet).
