FOR SALE: RADIO-CONTROLLED COLLECTIBLE RACE CARS
 
The Gilmer Midget is a quarter-scale, radio-controlled replica
of the the open-wheel, midget race cars driven by famous
drivers such as A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti in the 1960's and
early 1970's. This exquisite, hand-built race car comes fully
assembled in your choice of four colors with the servos, radio
battery and switch already installed. The midget's chassis is
machined aluminum, its body gel-molded fiberglass and
powerplant a 1.2 cubic inch, Kawasaki two-cycle engine with a top
speed near 50 m.p.h. For those who follow racing, that means turning
a scale, quarter-mile in less than 7 seconds!
 
Approximately 100 of these fine race cars have been sold throughout
the world to radio-controlled hobbyists, antique/classic collectors
and personal museums. The Gilmer Midget has been featured and
advertised in national magazines such as Radio Control Modeler,
Radio Controlled Car Action and several other publications which
market collectible items. In fact, celebrities such as
Willie G. Davidson of "HARLEY DAVIDSON" have added the Gilmer Midget
to their private museum collections.
 
As the designer and manufacturer, we have decided to discontinue
the production of the Gilmer Midget race car. At this time, we
only have 10 assembled cars left in our inventory. This is your
only chance to obtain a "one-of-a-kind", model race car destined
to be a collector's item. This car is a flawless masterpiece
which is not designed, manufactured or marketed by any other
company in the entire world.
 
The Gilmer Midget comes in two models priced at $2500 and
$3000 for immediate sale to radio-controlled hobbyists and
collectors. These won't last long, so we ask for "serious"
inquiries only on these final production models.
