The hard to find Tyco Canadiana Shark. Wildcoupe found this in an Ottowa Salvation Army store.
Fed up with the crummy PT motors, I dug them out and replaced it with a Model Power chassis
with flywheeled motor and 8 wheel drive. The previous owner has used Super Glue to fasten
in the tank weight. Very, very slowly, over a period of hours I eventually carved the tank weight
free, and then had to trim off some internal vertical supports to mate up the shell.

In its regular state, a Canadiana will fetch North of a 100 clams, I got this one for under 20, plus
shipping.
