I sure do intend to build it! Like I said it's nicely done, no glue bomb. Everything is here, the only thing broken is the front wheels and they aren't so badly broken.. So when I get through the pile to this one finally, first thing will be to see if I can get all he batteries in and get it working, witness this Cam-a-matic action with my own eyes! My hypothesis is that it will work pretty easily, but I will keep y'all posted. After that I will likely paint and detail it to the best of my abilities, then I think it will be a really cool part of my collection! Blake

Here is my latest score. Bought this from a guy on FB for 1 car I needed.. Yes said needed..LOL Is that wrong... The first picture is 80% of the lot.. seems I can't attach anymore pics. The car I bought this lot for was a one arm bandit. The added score is rare parts to the Lil hotdogger.Roof bones, radiator Bone, fire hydrant tail light, dog catcher net, front axle and more.. I love it when a score comes together.. Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

If you look at my listing, you will see what the 1/25th dragster actually looks like. It could be called a 1/25th, but it's actually a cradle for the engine.

My guess is he type-od the word "model" for MOTOR .. if you read the box it will tell you it comes with motor and figure ... I think the only thing I see is a cradle that the engine set's on for display ... I sure do not see any 25th scale dragster ...

Okay guys...the Tom Daniel Dog Catcher should be re-issued in the next year, I just scored this one on feeBay. By the way, why isn't this thread pinned?

Well, if that is a black Dog Catcher, it is an excellent score. If it was red and painted black, it's just as good. Both versions are scarcer than the original issue orange one. Very cool and it looks like it's not a glue bomb!
