VINTAGE RACO GTP NEW!!!

Post by sanmilc »

Hi,

I must confess I don’t have any experience with this hobby but I found a beautiful, Huge R/C Car here in my country (Venezuela in a garage sale), it is a brand new RACO and I just bought it, it came with no Radio Control or Servos, as I didn’t have any idea of the value, model, etc. I search on the internet and I found http://www.quarterscalelegends.com.

I wrote to Al Gibson, he was very kind and gave me more information, it is a RACO GTP, “probably made in the mid 80’s, had a quick change rear, a 22.5cc Zenoah G2B engine”… he also gave me an approx. value (2.500 to 3.000 USD) and invited me to sale it using this forum… so if you are interested please write me I will consider all offers, contact me using sanmilc@gmail.com or here in the forum.

Regards,
Cesar San Millan

Did you also try ebay? I've gotten emails and offers from people who have never even heard of the forums we hang on when I sell some stuff. I'd give that a shot. Btw welcome. :D

Hey everyone

I've received a few emails with the same question, "Hey Emilio isn't that the car you bought, it's on ebay?" That's a good question for the seller sanmilc AKA Caesar to answer? As far as I'm concerned, my transaction was flawless, and that the photos of this car listed on ebay is actually the one that I purchased, I've compared the photos with my car and it is confirmed.

The answer I want to know is, why use the same exact photos and description when there are 2 cars? or is there? Please let us know. Thank you.

Emilio
