very nice. you didn't find the fiberglass battery straps, or anything else?

[lexus-5]

No, no battery straps, but I did get the original speed control,the original gear cover and original body and wing with the diamond shape wing buttons.

did they make those chromed dust cover buttons for the 6-gear bitd ? and, score !!! i always hope for this kind of find at estates or auctions

[lexus-5]

Yes they did make the top bearing dust cover back in the day. I appreciate your kind words and keep looking cause there are deals out there, you just got to keep looking. "Even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then"

Wow, great find. Guess I need to go with the wife to yard sales this year.

Jeez. I keep hoping I'll find something like this but never see ANYTHING RC at the local garage junk sales.

For the non native speakers here - what's an estate sale? Like a garage sale that happens in trunks of station wagons or what?

thanks

and conveniently for sale on ebay

estate sales are generally when a person passes away, the family or 'estate' if there is no family will have liquidation sales to help offset any costs the deceased may have left behind, or for any number of other reasons.

usually good for deals and interesting finds, but obviously you need to be at the right place at the right time, and stay on top of advertisements of said sales.

So where did the lower perches come from, here? And the Mauri rear tires on this car, as they are not the actual "goodyear's" that came on the early buggy?

Clear now - I thought this was some kind of tailgate sale (aren't station wagons called "estate" too? )

thank you
