One of a Kind Crossfire Item?
I've never seen another one of these. Has anyone else? It's 20 inches in diameter with an aluminum case.

Re: One of a Kind Crossfire Item?
That’s pretty cool. I would assume that was maybe a dealer item? |
Re: One of a Kind Crossfire Item?
I would agree that it must have been a dealer item but I think it would look great in my shop! If you're selling it, 1st dibs.

So Toolman....what’s the story behind this? How did you get it? |
Re: One of a Kind Crossfire Item?
Thanks for the nice words about it. The man I purchased it from said he bought a large lot of items from an estate of an 85 year old car guy who passed away. That man had collected car parts, cars, and car memorabilia. There is no way to know where he got the clock from.
It’s very well built with no plastic. Because it's made of aluminum it's very light. The graphics are professional, and on the edge of the graphics it is says Chrysler and Crossfire are registered trademarks of Daimler Chrysler and are used under license from Daimler Chrysler 2005. I suspect who ever made this intended to sell these to Chrysler dealers. I wonder if that occurred? |

Re: One of a Kind Crossfire Item?
This is a cool dealer only item I have. I suspect that dealers gave away the individual cars to Crossfire buyers making the complete set rare.

The charger was for the UK and I modded it to the 115 volts North American standard. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cro...e196d0a703.jpg |
Re: One of a Kind Crossfire Item?
That is a very nice collection. I have two of those UK RC Crossfires, however, neither is in new condition. The first one I bought was missing the remote control and after failing to find a replacement compatible unit I decided to upgrade it with a three channel digital Futaba RC remote and motor speed controller. I also upgraded the lights. It works but I have not fully assembled it back together. It's a work in progress. I'm thinking about repainting it to Graphite Grey to match my coupe.The other one is complete, but with a few play scratches on the front bumper. Like you I purchased a 110v charger. I also have a Silver RC car that is 7 1/2" long. The RC shown below is very interesting because the remote is also a wrist watch.

Re: One of a Kind Crossfire Item?
I was disappointed I could not buy just the RC car from member "hercrossfire" that was in her collection sold a few weeks ago. Some other lucky member who bought the whole collection got that one. I never saw that toy model before. I think it had a lightning bolt on it.
