i found a better deal on one, and since that one was not original, i decided to pass on it...that does not mean i think it was not a nice car, cause it is, but i am more into originals....
good luck with it, and enjoy!!!!!

I love these cars. It is one of my favorites in my collection as well. Not to mention i STOLE it for only $800 new never run!!! BUT enough of me rubbing that one in. :)

awesome score and a solid trade up from the raco.

I have only seen 2 complete cars (yours and mine) the rest in parts (maybe 5 or so)

You don't post BS that it's not original and then don't explain .
remember one thing knowledge is power, and you need to respect those of us who were there when all this was happening...

hey funky,

i do not need to rip your car apart, as you seem to know what is not correct.

like i have said it was a nice score, and one to be proud of....

you on the other hand need to learn the word RESPECT.....

again enjoy your car, and try acting like an adult....

End Of Story.......

i dont see anything wrong with it. Brake looks good. I dont even have mine installed in these pics. but thats where it goes. Definately the days of the $800 skellenger rear cars are basically gone. But one can always hope :)

Respect is not an entitlement, its earned. Takes years for that.

You guys are so funny. :lol:

You’re debating what’s original based on three examples and those three examples each have different major components. The expansion chambers shown are not the same, all three rear ends are different, gas tanks are even in different locations. There are three different front bumpers here.

Was there a standard for these or was each one semi custom?

Funky, you want $4000.00 or some Yankees? Your choice. :wink:

yea, the pics did come from ebay. Remember when it was listed because at that time the asking price was crazy high. If i remember correctly the original owner wanted 5k....

Heck, just looked and found the old thread. WOW things were different then. I even said some things, i would not say today. Funny looking back.

here is the link http://www.quarterscalelegends.com/bb/v ... lit=delara

no pics, but we were discussing your car funk.
