That's a Revell 'Vette, not Eldon. Tom

I have a Revell chassis #81522, was under a Mercedes 300. Needs lots of work but complete less motor that moved to an adjustable chassis.

I just found the listing of the Revell non-adjustable aluminum chassis with the EBD 16D motor. The "silver" can motor is good motor for our racing. (I have one is in my White Corvette as does Tom in his Corvette) 81501 - 76mm wb - Corvette or Aston Martin 81502 - 74mm wb - Ferrari 250 GTO or Mercedes 300SL 81522 - 76mm wb - Corvette or Aston Martin 81522 - 74mm wb - Ferrari 250 GTO or Mercedes 300SL 81516 - 71mm wb - Chaparral 2C or Lang's Cooper Ford no # - 68mm wb - Sunbeam or Triumph There are some chassis that do not have a number stamped on them. These were from other locations than U.S.A. Note - 81510 and 81511 are for the wrong motor, 15R motor. This is a longer motor that is not desirable for our use. Jim W Any thought what an 81521 was to fit?

Marc G - That one is really nice and has all the trim on it. I think based on that I would go $55 or so......It could sell higher because its complete. Even $75 with it being in such nice shape isnt bad. I would say that for the most part I have paid between $15 and $55 for most of the Revell cars I have unless it was a package deal. Mark M Dont forget this one out there in case the price point is better for you. Its a nice car. www.ebay.com/itm/204162515549

I stumbled across 4 Revell chassis, 3 with rough bodies that appear to not have been cut up but pretty ugly paint which I was able to purchase. I have $40/chassis with all shipping, taxes and purchase agreement. One Ferrari GTO, Aston-Martin and Jaguar XKE. I have a body for the chassis but if anyone wants one of the other cars, just let me know. I will not have them until next week but will give you the base for the class.

I was looking at my post on the Revell chassis numbers and I corrected the second chassis for the Corvette and Aston Martin to read 80521. I was so excited to find the info that I must have hit a wrong key or two when typing the info from Slot Forum.

I am getting my left eye lens "cleared up" next week, so that Must be why I typed the incorrect number on the chassis. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

So Mark W said it when he mentioned he had a body that he removed this set chassis from and moved to an adjustable chassis. That is typically the case.
These chassis were not the cool ones because they were the cheapy set car units. Although they are metal as are the wheels. These are the reasons that they are a good place to start for some modifications. The only thing that would make them better is if they were brass. We will fix that part.

I have a couple of Revell frames if somebody needs one. They are the 76mm length for the Aston Martin DB5 or Corvette.

Man, I thought I bid those up too high for anyone to buy them!!! Now you have your own white Corvette, so you don't have to use mine.
