...new to me anyway. I purchased this trio of cars on ebay back in mid-July. For some reason the postal service returned them to the seller the first time and they only just arrived here the other day.
All three cars were advertised as not working. Two of the cars appear to just need new wires from the pick-ups to the motor, the third car works perfectly. Since I haven't been able to locate stranded wire small enough for the repairs yet, I've been having fun with the one working chassis. This is my first non-magnetic car, and I absolutely love the way it runs.
There is a high probability that more TycoPro cars are in my future!
One Corvette, one Porsche, and another of those damn Chaparrals!

It's very tempting, but I think shipping on that would kill me...

Now, you leave those homeless guys alone in Scottsbluff, it gets cold in the winter, and they NEED those boxes to live in!

I would love to see that. Micro, please consider going with A 4x8 L. Even that is probably to small for your collection.
