260335194062 is the completed ebay auction number.
Can someone tell me what is so rare about this car. It ended at $456. I have one that looks just like it unless I am just missing something.
Thanks, Russell

Russell, you have one of the Holy Grales of Tyco slot cars. Don't let NTx Rich talk you into making a sprint car out of it.

'Cause while it would look extremely cool like the one pictured in the thread above, it would somewhat degrade the collectability. Now if you buy a set of junk bodies and the NTx treatment (patient pending) happens to be preformed on a already butchered Tyco Chaparral type body, then it's all good.

:drunk::hat: :drunk::dude:

Russells have to stick together even if it means listening to a big Hutt.

So Russell, your saying that I shouldn't cut mine up so that I can have an expensive sprint car too. I don't know if that fair.

That's what I'm talking about - grade A prime candidate!

Aw man, you weren't supposed to catch on! OK, the real story is that NTx and I are part of a global conspiracy to conquer the wourld's economy with gnarly, mondo expensive Tyco sprint cars. Guess we'll have to let you join but keep it secret. OK?

Allright, but only because you said us Russell's have to stick together.

And you shouldn't do anything like this either:

Russell,When this car came out it was available only as a set car.It wasn't sold as a single packaged car.I was selling them at shows about 15 to 20 years ago for $11 and making a profit. Tom Stumpf

Tom, are you sure about that, because I would swear that I bought it and the yellow/white renault in packages at KB toys around 83 or 84. Of course I have slept since then and bought a lot of cars since then.
Russell

It was a Sears set car, No?

Yep Set Only. However there was a guy that use to sell them at the Caryle Auto show. I do not know this as fact but I heard that most of the rare cars from TYCO came from Dumpster Divers. It seems when TYCO recieved a return it went into the Dumpster. Oh I got mine for $15.00 in 1989 or 90 can't recall fro sure.

Wow, thanks for the link. That is the car I have. Now I have to decide to keep or sell.

I'M GUESSING YOU DECIDED TO SELL IT..:jest:

GOOD LUCK..:thumbsup:
RUSSELL YOU GOT A PM :thumbsup:

Best of luck to ya Russell!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Good luck! I hope you put a reserve on your auction.
It would be a shame to lose out just because of a bad week on the bay.

I did decide to sell, if it goes up like the other one then I can buy a lot more. For the most part I have not bought any slot cars these past several years, so I have a lot of catching up to do.
Thanks, Russell

Well I bid $50 but got outbid immediately :lol:

I hit it for 70.00 and got the same......outbid.

I'm rootin' for you Russell!! GO GO GO! BID BID BID!!!!!!:thumbsup:
