It will certainly be interesting to see what this four-lane Slot Mods track brings. No bids have been placed as of this posting.

 

Originally built for the Ford Motor Company, the raceway is now offered at no reserve in Anderson, Indiana, with eleven standard Professor Motors controllers, four adapters for use with alligator clip-controllers, over 80 slot cars, and spare controller, maintenance, and repair parts. There a very compehesive set of pictures of the track in the BaT listing.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

Any guesses on what this one will sell for?

I walked into a local Audi dealership to test drive a used Aston Martin DBX and found a quite large Slot Mods track that was set up. The owner has many dealerships and usually has a rare car at each location just for display.

I wonder what the initial cost to build this gorgeous track was?

Ernie, just a SWAG, I'd say between $15K- $20K.

Bill,

 

Based on what I recall these costing, at least twice your guesses... or more.

Current bid as of this post is $600 and I'm pretty sure it'll go fo more than that.

I knew they were unreasonably priced. I just didn't know how unreasonable.  :laugh2:

That's funny, Needless Markup finally got a taste of their own medicine $300K? And I've been shaking my head in disbelief at the Revell track prices!
