While organizing today, I decided to look at part of my collection of slot cars. These were all designated keepers, most of these are just bodies I bought in a lot some years ago. But they're all Tyco, some US-1 Trucking, the rest Tyco cars and trucks.
I don't believe I have any truck chassis's for the US-1, I just won a bid for a complete yellow and orange truck, so I'll have at least one. Got two other chassis's marked on Ebay for watching. Not sure how many Tyco chassis's I have elsewhere, but I may can get some of these bodies on a chassis someday soon.
One rarity is the black with flames truck body, apparently only produced in '93 set only, not a good seller, so fairly rare these days. My fav out this entire lot is the little silver Tycopro dune buggy. Complete except for rear tires. The Fiero is another unusual car, you rarely see any Fiero's anywhere, I thought they were neat looking cars. Needs a rear axle to fix it. The plymouth police car is the last in this lot with a chassis, but it needs both front and rear axles.
Just thought I'd post my Tyco collection that I had. I probably have more, just not with these guys.

Nice collection Jerry! I like the black /gold Trans Am. I have a real Smokie & the Bandit 79 SE Trans Am that I bought in 1984. When I tell a kid how long I've had it they look at me like, "do people live that long?"

I did love that show. I watched it all the time! I thought Kit was neat. Not enough to love the Pontiac that much, though. I'd rather have the Pontiac than the CHevy, though. I liked the rear lights better on the Pontiac. Don't really have a desire for the Knight Rider body. Thanks for the offer, though.

I'll take it Ben!!! Actualy I was never real excited over the Night Rider car (the real one)though I am a Pontiac fan. Since the show & car was considerably fake...but still fun to watch. Pontiac stopped making Trans Ams in 1981 !

ok Walt & btw? Pontiac stopped making the Trans Am in 2002 But the 3rd Generation,Which is what Universal used for KITT & KARR, was from 1982-1992
So the whole line lasted from 1967/1969-2002 
Also now if you look on the net you can build your own KITT & KARR cars

How did I know MicroBen was gonna come on here to correct me? 
Like I said , Pontiac stopped making Trans Ams in 1981... You Know, like Chevy stopped producing engines in 1972 !
It's bench talk...

Just so you know Mattel sells a wide pan chassis for most of the Tyco cars you have. I think they are $3-4. Here is the link. You cannot buy the parts separately for cheaper.

The truck bodies you have are not US1. Those came witha HP7 chassis and TCR chassis

| Actually the middle truck body is US 1. Sorry my mistake. The silver dune buggy and the red Blazer are your rare ones. I find the Fiero quite often. The Police car also has some value if it has all the chrome and it's in good shape.

More of Jerry's AMC slot cars -
Here's a couple more I dug out while searching thru my slot collection. One should be an easy ID, can anyone tell what the other blue one is? ( Yes, it's an AMC as well )

Hey now!!!
The 4th gen was every bit of Trans Am as any other!
While the engines were corporate- the suspension, interior, and exterior were every bit a Poncho... which was why SLP chose them originally for the Firehawk models.
