Here's a few of my rare/htf cars. I have some others but you know me, I had to modify them and ruin the collector value. :D Some might get angry at me for doing things like painting and changing the decals on things like AFX S series cars.

Nice collection guys. Clean looking Vette! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

How does that Russell MAXX run?

this is a very good topic but you should of added this:

"tell us a little bit about the history of your prototype",where you got it from,how rare is it and what makes it so rare.also if its a blank shot,a hand decoed body or???

i will be posting some stuff on this topic VERY SOON.

I'm not really sure. I know it is not a chrome car that was stripped of chrome.
The story I was told is someone bought the mold and made these.I have about four of them.

Here is another one.

Well both of the Vettes are in Bob Beer's book as a #1 (rare). If you guys don't want them, I do collect the AFXes. :devil:

Great lookers!:thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

I Have a carded TycoPro Cobra...I haven't see too many in this state...found it at a toy show in Tuscon. Have some other stuff I'll post later...

That's the TycoPro Trade-In promotion car. If you traded in any old slot car you would get that special pack with the translucent Cobra, an oiling pen, and a booklet at a discounted price. I think it was around $3.00. I bought a couple of them back in the day because of the price but only one unpackaged car survives in my "collection," and it's sitting on a 440X2 chassis. That was probably the first TycoPro a lot of people bought because it was intended to be a "test drive car," so they were heavily used, as all toys should be, which probably makes them inherently more rare than other cars of the same vintage.

hopefully you dont modify and ruin that tilt front end 57 chevy.thank you.

Well, not that one, anyway.

The resin cast from Bruce Gavins looks nice with flames over metallic burgandy. :thumbsup:

These are some protoypes from the late 70s out of Cox R&D. Cox produced these for a few years, the tooling was sold and they became Rokar then later the chassis was the first Life-Like chassis.

Actually, you skipped one. Cox became AmRac, which became Rokar, which became Lifelike, which is now Walthers Lifelike. AmRac used the Cox chassis, then a slightly modified version of it.

Nice cars though. Cox stuff is near impossible to find. When you do it goes for big bucks. I have all three of those bodies but they are the AmRac versions in different colors.

Yes you are right! It was Cox then AmRac, I even bought an AmRac car back in the day.

I like some of the home-made stuff, some people are really talented.
This was made by a friend of mine, he used a 1/32 scale die-cast sprint car and made resin copies of the body and then made resin chassis for them. The wheels and tires were made on a jewelers lathe. I was supposed to put a drive figure in it but didn't get around to it.

Here is a 2:1 pattern......if you didn't know already, alot of the cars you see in catalogs are NOT actually HO scale. The company sends out an approved blue print for pattern making (and or tooling) so they can see it in 3D form. This is often what gets used for paint scheme tests and catalog shoots which need decided on WAy before production starts.

What your looking at is the 2:1 pattern for the Lotus 79 (Andretti Lotus) in the back ground and an HO body in front.

This is the printers proof (and most likely the only known example) of the famous Ford-Aurora poster used on the Johnny Carson show for the BIG race.....if you have the video Bob Beers offers of this race, watch closely when they come back from commercial, you'll see the poster!

Arizona! Its a Dry heat! right? bought most of the tyco stuff from an ex Tyco employee. he had tons of geat stuff.. just didn't have tons of cash at the time.. I beleive he sold most everything off last I heard.

Here is a copper/brownish chrome nomad prototype. I bought this from an Aurora executive a couple of years back. They made various cars in chrome colors for special occasions. The colors I know of are purple,brown/copper and gold although I have never seen the gold in person.

Just a Negative picture of the Black Shadow via my computers art program. O.K. so call me a fake. :rolleyes:

This would have been a cool one for a 70s style Black & White Track set!

Great stuff and love to look at all these pics.
Thanks for posting them up and sharing!
It is a real treat to see all the Tough stuff pictures posted here. :cool:

Picture Aliens. When the Colonial Marines enter the Alien Hive in the atmosphere processing station, one of the Marines mentions that it's hot. Pvt. Hudson (Bill Paxton) says "Yeah but it's a dry heat". That is my favorite line from the movie. My wife and kids dread visiting Phoenix or Palm Springs due to somewhat over use of the phrase on my part. I was just thinking...
