 I probably will, the box is kind of ratty and they already cut off the golden wheels. I just have to figure out how, I have been thinking of different ways, Maybe I'll make a clone of Mikes? |

the Motor cycle is there, Didn't open the blue bag of parts, the trailer may be in there. It appears to be the same as the RHCTA 1980 Monte Carlo with Fantasy chopper Model that I already have, But thats still sealed and staying that way!!

Unless you need a new key FOB, new floor mats, or a window tint kit there's not much to get excited about.

I did manage to win a Die Cast,Tony Pedragon Quaker State Monte SS funny car. I have been looking to get one for a few years now but they have always been $40 or more plus shipping! This one was $20.50 with shipping.

I recall seeing one listed a few days ago while I was looking around. Not really something I'm in need of at this point in time. Unless I found a good deal on one.
Like it sounds like you did. ;D

I'd like to find one of the those 3rd generation Monte Carlo model kits like you scored.
No hobby shops in my area I know of so looking there isn't an option.
