Swap meet goodies

[TiredIronGRB]

Well, I went to look for a few items for the Model A (and I got a few) but, there was a guy there that had an old T bucket and T Roadster that he had built back in the early 70's they looked like they hadn't been touched in years. He was going to save them for his grand children but they weren't interested in them. Both have SBC, one has three deuces and the other has a 4-71 blower, pie crust slicks on both. They are in pretty rough shape but I think they will clean up good.

Long story short we went back and forth all day on them but in the end I got them for my price and brought them home. I shot some pictures before it got dark, after I get cleaned up I'll re-size them and post a few up.

These are huge 1:8 scale, first released in 1962 by Monogram.

Ha ha. Very cool though. That blue one is "The Big Drag" and is rare and expensive. I think the other one is The Big T". I think the Big T is being reproduced now, but not the Big Drag.

You should have saved this post for April 1st. I thought I was looking at the real thing too untill I realized the wood floor was a little out of scale. lol [cl
