Toys of past and present

For selling it.
I even like the tires. That car is damn near perfect.

There was a lot of rust on the car, oddly it was a California car then went to Washington State which is where I bought it thirteen years ago. Notice the discolor around the rear window? When I bought the car there was a lot of rust around the rear window and someone used spray foam to seal the leak. I took it to a body shop and they did what they could with filler.

Now you know why I am a bit upset with what the current owner/seller did to it and now you know why that one was priced to sell and the others were priced ridiculous.

Then there are the actual "Toys"...about 14 R/C planes ranging from .40 to my last one which was powered by a 3.2 gas engine. My last "Toy" was a J class R/C sailboat which I raced nationally as a member of the AMYA. It was a model of "Shamrock" 89" long, 15" wide, over 10' high with a weight of about 65 pounds. Most of the on the water photos were taken at Mystic, Conn.

Maybe you gave up too soon? Ballast resistor?

Nope, I recall opening up the front of the engine to see a sloppy chain. I remember replacing that with no luck...... Now, 30 years later you guys want me to figure out what was wrong? Where were you then?






Nice cars red.....
 
Here are my toys. Two Hemi Cudas, and a Hemi Bird I acquired from the King himself. Took me almost a lifetime to obtain these three rare and extremely valuable cars :)

As soon as I nail this damn mega millions lottery (I'm working on it) I'll have all of those parked in the driveway.

We were wondering what this ARPANET stuff was all about. Getting dumbfounded at trying to understand this:
