CORVAIR POWER!

[bonehead23]

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...

Love the old Revell kits, thanks for showing them. Cool Benz!

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.

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...

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.

Super nice and cool models

[Helix]

Awesome stuff Stephen, 'Patent Pending' was the first kit I ever built

[Davewilly]

Nice looking collection....I like them old kits....I have the Moon Mixer kit I started restoring/rebuilding it should be fun to get it finished.

[bonehead23]

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!!!

Unique and interesting builds!
