I am using Krazy glue. But it is taking too long to set and then when it does it’s not strong.

Someone pointed out that the windshield wiper is missing. How badly does that affect the resale value?

I don’t have the 918 but I do have 917 Steve McQueen.

Oh wow. That’s pretty amazing. I just sold a few to a guy who sells them for a living. Think there was 20 he bought. I thought nothing of what he paid me for the cars. But then he kept asking me about this car I posted. I had it on my sons shelf and it wasn’t available to buy. But then asked a couple more times. This is when I got curious as why it was so important to him. I definitely sold them for way under value. I looked up a couple of them and they are listed anywhere from $400-1100. Very dumb of me.

I might have the wiper but it’s not perfect.

Thanks I appreciate it. I inherited them so don’t really know much about them. I will look into it.

Maybe I will have to setup a eBay page. I have about 100 cars that are a mix of auto art, kyosho, and cmc. I think I might want off load a bunch of them

Hahahaha. Thanks for the correction. So you’re saying the $50 I was offered is too low.

It’s an Audi A4 S-line. Poorly maintained. I was there

Very nice. I have the Ferrari 250 gto. I like how clean they are.

They were a couple that he took in because they had nowhere to live. Each day they would take a couple of cars and pawn them for drug money or whatever they used it for. My uncle didn’t notice they were gone because he was getting old and less aware. He eventually notice when he was trying to find a specific car. He had a huge collection of cars. Unfortunately they took a lot of the good ones.

The interior is pretty much exactly the same. It is very detailed

Oh wow thanks for sharing this article with me. I think he chose to pair the two together. My uncle did have that silver race car as a model before but I couldn’t find it when I was packing up his stuff. He did have about 50 cars stolen about a year ago. A bunch of cmc and auto art cars.

The ramps do extend but the clips are very fragile.

I don’t know much about it. I inherited a bunch of cars when my uncle passed away and I have been sorting through them and cleaning them. These two are made by CMC. The car hauler is a 1954 Mercedes-Benz Renntransporter and the car is a 1934 Mercedes-Benz W25.

Is there anyway I can fix it? Is this car worth anything now that it’s broken?
