bonehead23 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) I was asked what other Corvair powered things I have built...here's a few; the Revell "Gran Turismo" dune buggy, a '28 Mercedes vair rod, "Bad Medicine,", "T-Bone Stake", and "Meter Cheater" from Revell, The T-bone has the turbo option included in some AMT 'Vair kits. And I think the other one is a Roth Orbitron...it has a really cool chassis that would make a great base for a cool rod...

DumpyDan Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Love the old Revell kits, thanks for showing them. Cool Benz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathgoblin Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Nice! Especially like the last 3, Dr. Krook's Medicine Show, Meter Cheater and T-Bone Stake. It took me a while to find a salvageable kit of Dr. Krook's. They're pretty rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I dig out an old rare kit, I hesitate on building it...but that is what I got them for in the first place, so they get built! After I sold 1,600 kits for $14,000.00, I realized I sold them for 8 bucks a kit more or less...so they are only worth what the buyer is willing to pay. At those prices, I will build the remaining 1,000 kits vefore i croak as a toast to those collectors who buy cheap and sell outrageous...

horsepower Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 The Roth car you have is the "Road Agent" I can remember seeing it when it was new on the show car circuit. It's display started the engine, revved it a couple of times, cycled the bubble top up and down, and had a recording that told the story of the car and all of its specifications.

bonehead23 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Apologies to all for my ridiculously bad memory...Bad Medicine was a dragster, right? Patent Pending is the Dr. Krook's car??? At my age i am lucky to remember my own name,but I keep building my old rare kits even if I forget what they are called!!!! I don't save the boxes; i would need a whole room just for them!!! So I forget ....Thanks to those with a solid brain who remind me of the proper appellations!!!
