I've finally got around to looking for a mid '80's RC10 buggy and have found one locally going at a good price.
Can someone date this sucker?
My economic forecast for 2009 looks bleak if I win this buggy:shock:
Dig that funky CRP bumper...That'll fly into the trash before you could blink.
Decent lookin' Tekin ESC and a mondo outdated charger.
All for US$50.

I would say between 1985-86 and 1990 as it is not an early Edinger car (no double servo saver...).
Front and rear tires are not original, front rims are from a CE and rears from a TQ10 or Graphite.
Parma or at least aftermarket gear cover and black ball cups are not original either.

Yeah,could be a Proline bumper,I was just guessing it was a CRP-Either way it's going into the trash.
Every unorigonal part will be replaced with correct parts,fear not.
Thanks for the help,I can't beleive it's taken all this time for me to score an origonal RC10...I first started lusting after one in 1989!

Ha ha ha ha! Too much...
At least he/she/it is a cheap date and almost certain to put out on the first date.

Then you must be a little disappointed that you didn't actually win the auction on Trademe.co.nz..I see you're in Auckland, the winner was in Christchurch and as you no doubt know it went for $180.00 a tad more than the $50 you were paying for it..tiz a small World..

I had one like that around 88-89 NIB ,it had the larger wheels other than that it looked the same as the A stamp with the OG 1.7 wheels ,I bought the RC10T with the stealth tranny not long after 90? 91? and it had both the skinny and wide front tires and rims.
