[B]CAR WAS SOLD[/B]
This is a vintage RC car from the 1970’s and it was manufactured by Thorp Manufacturing here in the USA. I have extra belts, the brake system and some of the linkage. The Engine is a K&B 3.5 but the carburetor was glued to the block and it is very hard to take it appart. It turns OK but it will be nice to refurbish it or to install a new motor. The clutch/transmission is missing two small springs but it should be easy to replace them. All the linkage system needs to be installed. I have the original instructions.This is a great refurbishing project. Sold as is.

$55.00 shipped to US. (PyPal or MO)

Thanks for looking.

Sorry to bring up an old thread. Is there any chance of getting the measurements or a set of plans for this chassis? I just need the pan as I want to cut one out here at home with a band saw. I'd even take a rubbing of the pan on paper with a crayon or pencil at this point, just can't seem to locate the info anywhere. Thanks!
