I've always wanted the GMP 2-engine Tommy Ivo dragster to display along with the 4-engine Showboat. However, prices on the secondary market were always a bit too rich for my liking. Finally, I lucked up and snagged one off eBay for a reasonable price! Another much wanted model now resides in my collection.

It is always great to snag a long-sought model !

Congrats on your find !
I'm still chasing after a Revell 1/18 Scirocco in red just like the 1:1 I had.
And I wouldn't mind a Pantera either. Not the one from hot wheels though.

Now that's a fabulous model and it's excellent that YOU now have this GREAT & HISTORIC 1/18 set! (Where's the figures and trailers? 😀 😏 😎)
Compared to mine, it seems to be missing several parts.... Are you going to fabricate those, or did they fall off during shipping?

Oh, not at all! I used to get notifications when someone replied to a post. I don't anymore. If the post gets moved down off the main page, I might never see it again.

OMG, Marty Johnson, congrats on your eBay Holy Grail purchase...but, I think the real Holy Grail is seeing you post here on the Forum. It's been like forever since you've chimed in on anything. Don't know about others, but I always looked forward to your many contributions here and it was great seeing your post today. I cherish fondly our past phone chats. Hope all is good in your world. Don't be a stranger.
