HI!... I've been looking for a Tamiya Porsche 959 and a WildOne for over 10 years now. I came across a guy on KIJIJI that was selling some of his vintage RC collection. The Porsche 959 and WildOne are all original. They were built new and never run as far as I know. They have both been sitting in a display case for years! Got both for a good price. Guy was real nice. We chatted on the phone for about a hour talking about RC and HotRods.He's out of town right now but will be shipping them at the end of next week. He was glad they were going to someone who will appreciated them. They will also be shelf queens in my large collection. Now to find a F.A.V. I'll post up better pics once they arrive.

Wow, both look Fab!.
Espescially the 959 which is one of my favourites!

HI!... Well the Porsche 959/Wild One showed up today. :mrgreen: The seller (RS6TT) really packed them up good. All kinds of bubble wrap/foam. He took off all the wheels and some of the suspension, so there was no chance of anything getting broken. I had a bit of assembly to do. Neither came with electronics. So I added my own vintage servos and receivers to make them complete. The Wild One never had the driver installed so it was still new in the package. I have to paint it up still. Also the seller never installed/painted the headlights, so I'm currently doing that. As you can tell from the pics below these two RC cars are in immaculate condition. They will never be run as long as I own them. They will spend their lives as shelf queen's in my RC collection.

HI!... The "Wild One" :

I'll post up some more pics once I get the headlights painted and mounted.

Very nice pictures!

awesome pictures!! I'm glad you're enjoying them so far.....that 959 will always be my personal favorite.

HI!... Got the headlights painted and mounted. Just need to cut out the driver and paint him up.

HI!... Got the driver cut out today. Will be painting soon. :mrgreen:

I also got the Wild One driver's head painted up.

HI!... Well I finally got the Wild One's driver painted up and installed. Noe this Wild One project is complete. One down. one Wild One to go! :mrgreen:

Nice!!! great work...something I should have done a long time ago
