The red Tracy body with the blue/purple flames needs quite a bit of work.  If you notice the paint only bubbled where the gas tank portion of the body is.  I asked the seller if the paint bubbled anywhere else and he said no.  I'm sure it is gas that has seeped through the tank and bubbled what appears to be fresh paint.  I bet someone bought it, had it painted, mounted it up, put gas in it and then found out it was soft.  Not worth 2K in my opinion.  Buyer beware.

Yeah, but, Dude, it has a velour seat. How can it not be worth $2K?   :D :D ;D ;D


Seriously, though, I would keep an eye on those and see what happens with them. If they sell, go for it. Yours looks every bit as nice. Though I must say that yours has the better looking paint job.  8)

I saw the red one last week. It was up for auction and only made it to 175 or so.

I have never seen one sell for near 2 thousand, but I don't know all that much about them.
If it included a decent bike, or even a badly running bike he might get 2 grand. I would never pay anywhere near that for one, I have seen them around my area for under 500 a few times last year.

Your paint does look the best out of all three, you cannot go wrong with black.

good luck

Hi, I smoke a copious amounts of crack and would like $5000US for my sandcast Tracy bodies.

Any takers?  ;)

Go for it!!!........start your auction low and set a reserve..........also think about a buy-it-now for $1200.  Be sure to collect an extra 2% if the buyer uses PayPal.  Do you have a good box for shipping?

I took a big hit from my crack pipe and put it up for 1500 lets see what happens.. I used to work for a packaging company and personally ship a good amount stuff at my work bigger and more delicate then this so that wont be a problem.
