HO Bodies for Trade

[WizardTim88]

Hi, Everybody.

I'd prefer to trade these HO bodies than sell. Since I've been hauling a couple of them around since childhood that seems appropriate.
Who wants to swap?? Pictured are:

• AFX '57 Corvette
• AFX Baja Bronco (#4)
• Tyco Viper convertible
• AFX '55 Chevy (missing front bumper)
• AFX Corvette GT (#12, for lighted chassis)
• LIfeLike Corvette
• Tyco Benetton F1

I'm primarily interested in trading for other HO bodies. Most interested in AFX-style (no Thunderjets) GTs and prototypes. Would trade the whole lot for a nice GT40...
But, in the spirit of the Swap Meet, if you've got something in your closet that needs a home and you like something you see here...make me an offer!

Take Care.

Hi, I am interested in a possible swap. I have two spare GT40 bodies, one is the red #3 the other is the white #98.
where are you situated?

[WizardTim88]

Thanks! Just sent a PM to further the negotiations.

-Tim

[WizardTim88]

...and a deal is done! Hooray for the Swap Meet!

Are all of the bodies gone?

[Wet Coast Racer]

Do we know where they're buried?

Sorry I couldn't resist ...

[WizardTim88]

Yes the bodies are all traded. And I assume they're still above ground.

I can confirm that the bodies are above ground and now on chassis in my collection, but they are not in America.

Oh, that's a shame that they are all gone. I might have interested in some of these... Do you have any ideas where can I find a Tyco Viper and Tyco Benetton F1 in Europe? I want to buy or trade, it doesn't matter. Recently I have managed to buy a home in Germany with a big garage and started to build my track from scratch but I don't know any shops dedicated to slot racing here in Germany. Any ideas?

That yellow 57 Vette convertible is one of the holy grails of AFX cars.

[WizardTim88]

WHAT??? Are you telling me that I held The Grail in my very hands and failed to realize it?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Very funny. To be honest, I have no recollection of how that 'Vette body came into my collection and I never considered it a treasure. Happy it found a home in the UK, where Grails belong. Guess that labels me as an easy mark for trades. Always have been. We could talk about baseball cards that have slipped through my fingers, too...

Anyone interested in swapping for a #13 Shelby Cobra?

-Tim

Yup.. whatcha need..? Pic?

[WizardTim88]

OK here are a couple of photos of The Grail...

Nice-running Turbo/SRT chassis with proper white wheels!
That nick on passenger side roundel is the only imperfection. And I don't have any idea where the cardboard interior piece is. Someone probably ate it.
If you're serious it would have to be a grail-for-grail swap. Or a one-for-many deal.

Looks pretty good.. what do you like. I have several jl pullback bodies also.. complete cars, etc. Just need to know which cars you like to collect. I have several AW cars for sale/ trade as well.

Also.. the yellow vette is not a grail. Years ago it was tough to find, not so much anymore. Still a nice car. Grails to me are cars like AFX Push cars or crazy rare international cars.

[WizardTim88]

Yes...what do I like? The sweet spot age-wise is from G+ to Super-G+. I like the GTs and prototypes best. I guess my current Grail is the Peugeot 905.

Would consider swapping for a less-rare complete Cobra plus another body or two. Is that of interest?

Also, upon refection I'll say "period correct" chassis instead of "original" since I can't say for sure. It's a Turbo/SRT chassis with the proper white wheels.
