This is Mike Monatoboy. This pic is 30+ years old, had been at this for over 10 years when this pic was taken, and Mike has stayed with it all this time.

I am sorry but all of that is just too cool. And I don't expect anybody to sell anything like that. Was just stating how excited (at age 43) I would be if I had something like that which was complete.

Had he told me he would take $100 for the Suchy model, I would have beat a path over there to get it! Of course he could have sold it many times.

I pickep up a GMP Champ Dirt die-cast, 1:18 scale for $50. Hmmmmmmmm, very close in the parameters, it would look good with a top and tail. That's not the crazy part, this is- The bottom of my old tv remote has the same shape and almost the right scale for a Parson style tail. Yup, you guessed it! Looks like I may now have to find some duct tape so the batteries can stay in.
