7 solid rivet chassis and 3 Tuffy's

All bodies and chassis needs some cleaning of course, and also some stickers removal: the cool part of the hobby to relieve and rejuvenate some old toys.

No wheel wells cut, no abuse, only the red GT 40 as a slightly cut post and appearing discoloration through body (rear)

The guy was only selling one car and mismatched some car's auction description (apparently a newbee on the Bay).
So, after mail exchanges to find arrangement, it appears he has more cars from his childhood, and I offered 'em a good and safe home for a very good price....

Not a bad deal I think, no?

Deal? I'd say it's more of a great deal there. Especially if those bods aren't cut up or broke in anyway. They should clean up nicely. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

Exactly Joey, as you said it was about time, cool!

Roadrner, no nothing broke or even bent at all, only cleaning with magic cleaner and elbow grease

Very cool. Nice to see that you could get a buy from someone that ships across the Atlantic.
