Break it down scientifically:

AFX chassis = $20

AFX Astro Body = $30 (they are way less common that the Peterbilts)

RARE = + $100

AFX = + $125

FANTASTIC CONDITION = + $50

NOTHING BROKEN OR MISSING = + $50

CHROME IS MINT = + $50

PAINT IS MINT = + $50

Using the last four phrases above all together in one ad = + $50

I come up with $525. Note that Coach's rule of thumb estimate took less time and was within $5. Way to go Coach!

I think you have a Thunderjet (playing Mantis car which was one of Tom Lowes early companies) pullback car. (need to see it to be sure)

In about 1988 I was in a train store that used to have tons of slot stuff upstairs in a storage room (someone bought the whole lot years ago in case you're wondering) and during my one visit I had a boxed black GMC Astro w/trailer in one hand and a AFX Firechief car in the other. Guess which one I bought? NOT THE GMC!! I liked the truck, but since it was slotless I went with the firechief. Big mistake!

Yes the red with gold sides is a repro.

I think it won't go much over $400.00. The photos even though there is a number of them are not that good. Not enough close ups. It looks good but, you can't see a clear picture. That's going to hurt the final bid total.

My guess would be about $425.00.

But with 11 bids on it now between 4 bidders who knows. New bidders will jump in late in the auction also and be a factor. Randy.

3 hours and 32 minutes to go. Still at $330.00. The last hour should be interesting. Randy.
