So I walked into the Porsche Swap at Hershey last weekend early, cold, and moderately hungover. I immediately see a young guy with 3 1:18 models in a beer flat...one being a Rivi Blue RS. I ask him where he got it and he points to a pop up tent in the next aisle and says all the cars are $10. I rush over and it looked like UT Brewing and I just started grabbing (with one hand as I am holding onto their tent that was trying to blow away). Here is the score......

Yes I am still excited about it. I only want them for display anyway and always just threw out the boxes so perfect. Now I need a nice display. Wife hates me!

What are you complaining about? I bought you a car after only two dates As for the wifey.....hate might be a little strong but she is not a fan of the 1:18's.

In order to enhance marital bliss, I'd be happy to take the #1 RSR off your hands.

I'm not a collector but I did try to snipe this one on ebay UK. I was $100 under the final price of about $315.

my UT Hershey haul...should have bought EVERY Pcar UT he had. In hind sight...at least a 996TT so I could pop the wheels off and put on my silver C2S to approximate my car.

Anyway my 5...

Purple/Grey 2S, a duplicate from what I got from Rudy...don't know what I'm gonna do with it yet.

Silver/Grey 2S

Silver/Red TT

Black/Red TT

Black/Red TT...missing left front wheel...$5 special

Like Cactus haul, mine all have little imperfections, and all are dirty. Still gotta try to clean and detail them a little.

It appears that small screws hold lots together...so interior's could be swapped fairly easy. Do the wheels just "pop" off too? I think I want some different pieces/parts for these. Maybe I'll start a new thread Wanted...1:18 UT Hard Back Sport Seats

Very nice.

Wheels, theoretically pop off but usually you end up breaking something. They're glued onto the hub with magic. There are however some cases where UT has forgotten the glue, or used very little, as is probably the case with your tricycle Turbo on the LF.

Interiors should swap easily between coupes. Door panels are tricky. Note that they are 2-piece, with the top bar and window being one piece. Pry them very carefully, and they should slide off.

Take care,
