This site is in Japanese but is easy to browse from the menu on the right.
It has hundreds of crisp body-off pics of about every vintage electric powered 12th scale pan car you can whish for;

They're high among my favourites too.
Pitty I never came accross one in Japan.
(I once found a second hander 1/10th tourer from them and should have gotten it as the design was pretty original too. But as I was looking for a runner with spare parts that can actually be found without too much trouble... I left this one on the shelves of the shop.)

yeah abc is an interesting brand. almost unheard of in the usa.
i run a 1/12 4wd genetic and it's by far the fastest car in our 4wd mini open class, with a 17.5 compared to the vxl beasts.
the best part is no one knows what it is and they joked about it, called it a wonton, now they all know it well and respect it.
i've been tech'd quite a few times, guys were convinced i'm cheating, nope i don't cheat.

box stock it's just glued to the track. i'd love to get into some of their old stuff.

It surprises me that he's missing one of the most important 1/12th scale cars ever, the Schumacher C-Car. It was the car that the PK Corally was based on. They hardly ever show up for sale nowadays...probably why it's not currenntly in his collection...:)

Wellcome to the forum.
The answer to your question has been given by the others. Don't be offended by the tone please: it's just that we prefer to see contributing members rather than door-to-door sales guys.

So I hope you can tell us a couple of interesting things about the old cars, and then later you can do business; sell or trade, or even buy

(PS: I appreciate you didn't just throw something up for sale in this thread but had the good manners to ask first)
