1/12th parts lot from the Bay.
Any info you guys have about the different models would be appreciated.

Bill

Looks like a couple of RC12i chassis up in the right corner, but you probably knew that did'nt you Bill.

Lots of partial Deltas. Super Phaser front & center, surrounded by a lot of various P12 Spyders, and even a few Spyder 4-cell chassis with damper plates. Associated Skoal Bandit body is cool, too (I have a new one somewhere). IFS front end of some type, is in front of the 12L chassis on the bottom right is neat. Nice pick-up.

That IFS setup is Delta.

Front and center is definitely a late Super Phaser, I just picked one of those up.

Restoration thread to follow.

Slight hijack whats a Skoal Bandit, I got a bundle of decals and there were quite a few Skoal Bandit stickers in there

Chewing Tobacco.... I am surprised you didn't know that. That was a popluar sponsor BITD.

We don't do that this side of the Pond, I actually thought it was an RC model at first, had to research what the heck a Skoal ring was from Gretchen Wilson's song
Did a lot of cars have the decals on then?

Is anyone certain that the 4 cell chassis' are production P12 Spyders? The T-bars are mounted on top of the chassis like an AE 12L. The only Spyders I've ever seen have the T-bar set in flush with the chassis plate. My feeling is that these are homebuilt/prototypes??


Here'a couple pictures of the 1:1 Skoal Bandit as it ran at Mosport in 1981, driven by Graham McRae of F5000 fame, who incidentally is the guy behind the Sorbello sports car that Parma made a popular 1/12 version of.

Yep... There was a IMSA GTO Camaro too that I thought was pretty cool. I want to say it was a Baldwin Camaro (couldn't find a pic). Also they sponsored a couple NASCAR teams back in 80s/90s... didn't want to post a pic of that and put everyone to sleep.

Sweet pic Marc, I have never seen a real Sorbello til now. Thanks for sharing.
