Default Epic Vintage R/C Estate Sale Buy

New to the forum but just had to share my Estate Sale find from yesterday...

Stumbled into an Estate Sale on Friday to discover a 2hole house full of a lifelong collection of a serious auto enthusiast. The sale was off the beaten path and not marked well. When I arrived there was no one around and I could not believe my eyes as I walked around the house that had tables and shelves set up to display all of the R/C cars, HOs, Models and Diecast

The Models, R/C cars and HO cars were all from the 70s and 80s

I bought almost everything car related and will post pics and information over the next few days.

There is an 80s Delta Super Eagle in the lot along with a 1/12 Delta Spyder in the original box.

The site still won't allow me to post pics but there are at least a hundred NOS parts from the 80s in the lot.

I just posted a factory sealed set of Delta Super Eagle front wheels and tires on Ebay for a reference until I am able to post more pics here

The 1/8 Delta Super Eagle has a Picco engine and a McCoy exhaust.

I haven't been able to Identify the Body yet but it came with an 80s Parma Lotus F1 and a MPR Budweiser Spyder Lexan bodies...both still factory sealed

Looks like the body is an Original Vintage MRP Budweiser Spyder.
The lot came with an additional Spyder Body (new in original packaging )
