Archaeological dig - Redlines!

Jump to first page

You got yourself a very nice collection of Redlines.....very cool. And do I see a bye focal/show off in there? $$$$$$$... Most of them look pretty near mint, but you have a few that could be Beater burnout entries.

Just checked out your Flickr account. You have some gems in your collection Milton! Quite a few minty cars -are they all from your childhood?

Thanks for all the positive comments!

JDC442 I did buy a very good '69 McLaren M6A last year, but all of those in the baskets where collected between '68 and '76!

And yes traction event, that is a Show Off you spotted. The pink/magenta next to it is called the Buzz Off. The rear cover is suppose to lift up, but I didnt want to force it open. It has a metal flake in the paint as well. One of the reasons I went looking for them was for the beater races, but all of those candidates - needed a good wheel tune or rebuild for them to even begin to roll very far - and I dont have the time left to do that and make the upcoming submission deadline!

PM sent about the Demon engine to model40fan.

WE JUST ADDED ANOTHER WEEK TO THE DEADLINE OF THIS EVENT! Find one of your Redlines that rolls well enough to make it to the end of a race track and send it in!! It's going to be a blast, and I promise there will be lots of photos taken for this event!
