Not sure if I should post this here or in swap & sell.



OK all you guys and gals I need some help here. Since Make-A-Wish in the past has granted both my one son and daughter a wish I try to help them anyway I can. So when a friend of mine that keeps tabs on a few of the kids called me because I collect little cars (his words) and asked me if I had any Porsche 962’s. (I have one, the red & yellow Shell Dunlop) Well I told him I have one but it is a slotcar. So after talking I found out this young lady likes racing but really loves the 962’s and 956 models. So after hanging up it seems I volunteered to build a small layout using a 36 X 80 door for the base. Here is where I need help. I did a search on ebay and did find a number of different 962’s. I do not alot of extra money to spend, but if anyone here has a 962 or 956 (did they ever make one in a slotcar?) that they will sell me at a fair price please let me know.

Thanks,
Dave :)

I've got an extra Tomy Porsche 962 lighted body - new - never mounted, the young lady can have free. Maybe someone else can help out with a chassis.
Get back with name/add. here, or hogeezer@yahoo.com.
Your request is ON topic since it does relate to slot cars.

jeauxcwails-which one do you have? I will donate the other one including chassis.

coach-what type of chassis will you be sending.

Omega-it is a good idea to have one power pack per lane. I have a box of various ones if you need one.

I am going to be bidding on a few cars. Coach61 can you please tell me which 956 you can send? and 22tall what car can you send? I just like to make sure I don't bid on one that is coming in.

Thanks, Dave :)

Dave, Tomy did 3 lighted Porsche 962s. Jeauxcwails has white and blue Blaupunkt covered so I will send the yellow and red lighted Shell #17. I will also include 2 Tomy turbo chassis so coach61 can send a complete car instead of a chassis.


How about some glow in the dark gaurd rails? Pretty sure I have some somewhere in the garage.

You should check out www.hoslotcars.com (http://www.hoslotcars.com) for lots of car pictures.

The package will be in the mail Saturday. If there is anything else you need, let me know.

coach61, Which Tomy turbo are you sending-wide or narrow traction magnates? I need to know so I can send a matching chassis.
