CAL: Thank you very much!! I am there. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Jon

Gary: Hi. There is no know cure and I cannot find a 12-step group for support. Saw my fist hot rod in 1949 - haven't been the same since. Saw my first drag race in 1950 - haven't been the same since. Smelled my first exhausted Nitro-methane in 1954 - haven't been the same since. Geez, is there a pattern here?

Hi. It's 95z% brass and mostly tubing. Condition would be (on our 1-6 scale, a 1-minus nearly perfect). History is that it's an obsessively correct model of the full-size vehicle commissioned by its re-creator and completed in 2004. It's comprise dof nealry 1200 separate parts! OK ... X or Y?

lordairgtar: Thank you! Actually located auction results for five of his fabulous models sold at auction by Bonhmas & Butterfields at Monterey this year. The model I'm valuing is a "short body" front-engine Top Fuel Dragster and is thus mostly tubing and - as I have said - scratch built. Wingrove's models are simply gorgeous.

Folks: Hi, I am a newbee and need your help. Does anyone know of a site or venue whereat drag racing models are auctioned or offered for sale?

Hello! I am a Newbee and need your help. I have a 53-year background in that highly questionable activity - drag racing - now retired. I am a certified personal property appraiser of unqiue, exotic and racing motor vehicles. My current assignment is to place a value on the 1:16 scratch built scale model of a 1960's era Top Fuel Dragster. As such, it's mostly tubing. My question is ... does anyone know of an auction where high-end car models are commonly sold? Is there a site whereon "offered for sale" or "price realized" sale prices for such items are posted? Any help provided will be much appreciated. Thank you. Jon Lundberg, VODR (Ret.)
