Picked up this set at Salvation Army for $3.99 this morning...

Not that I REALLY needed 6 more 9" curves and another wall wart, but finding these in the box was a nice bonus...

The red Camaro is really nice, the yellow one is kinda trashed... missing windows and headlight bar, broken window posts. Both Curvehugger chassis seem to be in good shape, haven't tried them yet. The Petty car has a crack in the corner of the spoiler and the gears are shot; the F1 motor feels stiff even though I can't see anything binding. Found the F1 driver's head in the bottom of the box, but I'm pretty sure it's missing a spoiler...

Makes for some nice tinkering in the next few days...

DANG. i had no idea this was collectible. Sounds like I have to go back to Salvation Army and see if the wing fell out of the box... but I doubt it :cry:

Rick,
I'm sure someone would give you at least what you paid for that find for just the Motta body. :devil: Dave
