its magenta. wheel chrome is touched up too.
you should try to sign up for redlines online. i've been watching you for awhile since you've dove into redlines,you'll get alot of 'schooling' there. i mean that in a good way. put me down as reference if you want to.
Cool. Thanks for the tip I figured someone botched up those wheels. They look like crap. I'd rather have a well worn half chrome left wheels than something that bad. Let me ask this, not that it matters in this particular case, but in general on redlines, does it hurt the collectibility or collectible value (not necessarily the monetary value but they usually parallel each other) if I took better condition original wheels of the same style and size and country off of a car of lesser value to me and swapped them onto that car? Would I need to keep track of which wheels went to which car if they are the same? There really isn't a way to tell if the wheels are original to the car I assume aside from if they were the complete wrong style or size or origin right?
There have been a couple of guys on here that I would call friend who have helped get me into these redlines, and offered and provided guidance an tips. I also learned a lot by picking up the book "the ultimate redline guide". Gave me a lot of the history which was cool. I refer to it almost nightly.
I pretty much have learned to use the prices as guide and cap myself at no more than 25% of any number. Figure I'm usually safe there and if it looks too mint and too cheap and noone else is bidding on a perfectly mint car that looks too good to be true I try to steer clear. I'm slowly learning as I try to keep all of my purchases under the $20 mark for even a super mint car cause I know I can eventually fall into one at my comfort level. Exception was that original skyshow for around $40 with the plane and that one is so much fun I think I'm gonna buy the Deora RLc one I saw online for my daughter an so we can use that one too and not risk destroying the original plane from te fleet wood.
I got my little girl into liking them too. I have her a purple funny money I picked up and a Red Baron. Her favorite she told me is the skyshow though.
There is so much more character in the rl.
I'm always open to a schoolin and take any and all advice openly and thankfully.
Ill look up the redline online you mentioned and see what that is. Sounds like something interesting.
