A fellow railroad club member and friend found this at a garage sale in northeast Ohio. 2 TYCO S cars and 2 Thunderjets.
The box has a sticker on it that says "Make Offer".
He offered $5.00 and it was accepted.
Since the picture isn't that good I'll give a description of the items, 1 TYCO S Cheetah Missing all but 1side pipe and 1 gas cap has driver in seat and runs. 1 TYCO S Mako Shark missing roof, windshield, driver's head, and has 1 T-Jet Hot Rod hub in place of missing original TYCO S hub. 1 T-Jet white Hot Rod Coupe with no cracks in screw post or body, worn chrome on side pipes and windshield frame. 1 T-Jet Batmobile with nice red trim and silver details, good chrome on hubs, and very little paint wear on red light.
Both T-Jets run.
And the screw post on the S cars are not cracked. Randy.

Don't feel to bad, I'm in the same boat. Maybe someday I will find that box just waiting for me. :rolleyes: rr

I wish it was my find, he wants me to sell the Batmobile for him. The rest is mine for selling it.

Bad thing about the track is there are 32 pieces and 20 of them have broken tabs.
It's TYCO Speedways track, which is cool.

I have to talk to Jay before I post the Batmobile in the Sell and Swap thread. It should be posted this weekend. It will NOT go on Ebay. Randy.
