HO Bodies for Trade

[smokinhos]

I'll see what I have in the trade bin..

[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.

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.

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.

Yup.. whatcha need..? Pic?

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?

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

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?

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

[WizardTim88]

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

Do we know where they're buried?

Sorry I couldn't resist ...

[ElCamino]

Are all of the bodies gone?

[WizardTim88]

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

[WizardTim88]

Thanks! Just sent a PM to further the negotiations.
