hobbybobby Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 This was the second version of the "Jinx Express", with blue body rather than silver as on the original. "Fast Buck" seemed like a natural name. Being that both versions had actual "Piggy Bank" capabilities, Tom Daniel purposefully designed the front end and grille areas to kind of look like a pigs snout. (Nose for those in Rio Linda) This rollin' Fort Knox really hauls the bread! This pile of rivets is also a bank! Revolving turret has a coin slot and the rear "vault" door can be opened for withdrawls with a combination lock that really works. Fast Buck... you can bank on it. This is the 1995 reissue, i think, I've built it around 1997. Unfortunately, something went wrong with a decal, so now you can see, instead of the name, just the slogan on the side. But the name is now emblazoned on this giant rear wing... Apart from this and the wheels, it is built almost boxstock. The interior is covered with red felt. Ah yes, the doorlock works perfectly, but I no longer know the combination... A bit dusty, hope, you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Fun to see the Fast Buck and compare it to the Jinx Express I'm in process of finishing up. By the way, the combination for the safe door is, R-1, L-36, R-19. It's also stamped in the bulkhead above the driver seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
