Wow, what a great find I made last night

[raging56]

Last night I bought some brand new valve covers still in the box for only $30.00 on craigslist (great deal)....but it got better, I got chatting with the guy that sold them to me about Fords and when I went to the guys garage to see his 1965 F-100 I noticed this bad boy sitting on the shelf. A remote control Ford Bronco! I offered him $40.00 it came home with me. ;D

Now just to dust it off and paint it blue just like mine....

SWEET! Helluva deal! Congrats on that!

Nice Mangler. I bought mine new from Radio Shack about 8 years ago.

I've got two brand new ones still in the boxes stashed away;D

My wife who managed a Radio Shack for almost 10 years gave me one for a Christmas present several years ago....

How much if you don't mind me asking?

I told my brother I was going to paint my Mangler to match the Bronco and he said "Why don't you just paint your Bronco to match the Mangler?" I gotta admit, that would look much better.

I bought mine when they were closing them out for $35 I think. I went on line and bought an extra body to boot.

I have an original body, and my white with blue stripes body. painted dash, gauge needles and all. harnesses for the seats.
You can pull apart the rear end and clean the gears really good and "weld" it up with super glue to give a full locked rear end. wheels much better : )

my 1st kid was really young when I did all that, worked nights and stayed home with him in the day, never have time for that now...
good price too. I wanted to buy a bunch when they were closing them out for $20-25 bucks. wife said I was crazy and 2 years later bought me one for Xmas for $100 of ebay.
dang I coulda had 4 of em.
Nice find

i got the last one in the store, floor model missing the bikini top. painted it to match my bronco also, and found a RC tire and bolted it to the tailgate for a spare. think i even had a mini license plate made for it to match my bronco. then my daughter talked me out of it......
