My NOS plane collection

Truth be told guys.. I have a ton of cox collectibles but never turned on an engine, flown a plane or raced a car. I don't know how nor know anyone by me that is competent with them and with most of mine being NOS it wouldn't make sense to remove from package to fly or race but been really dying to see one in action in person. I collect them because I find them so amazing and the quality is amazing plus I'm a speed guy and I know they're fast so I love them all! Lol

GWILLIEFOX, it seems like the VTO is most people's favorite. Do you know alot about it?

I Admire the collectors that don't run the Models, I have a few that have not been run but running them is so much Fun!!!!!!! I have The Jeep, Snowmobile, Dune buggy, and Matador Stocker on You tube to check out. you could always buy a model from Ebay and run it to see what its like. I am going to My Cox Proving Grounds tonight to run a Duneblaster and beater Jeep. If You guys like Prototypes Check out gascarman.com. I just got 3 New Body Kits in the Mail From Larry, What a great Guy! Cox Action Power!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy your collection Bro!!!

Thanks bill.. I just put my collection out to see what I have being it's been so long since I had the space to actually put out on display. On racks only but better then in boxes.. Lol

Wow!!! That's a nice little stash of Cox Models! Good For You!! If You ever want to sell any cars let me know. Try to Elevate the duneblaster off the Cardboard platform to keep the tires round. the Same with the Trikes, so they don't get flat spots. I would love to get one of those Testers moon buggys and run it, Unfortunatley Testors did not seem to have any parts support that I know of and Based on the Testors engines I ran in the last 20 years they were not as good as COX

Wow, a nice collection, examples through time, even have A.C. Gilbert's Rogallo Wing Thing!

How do you keep people from putting their hands on them?

Thanks Bill and thanks for the advice. I have seen in many cases were the tires get flat spots, such a pitty. The Testors buggy is super cool and its size makes it cool also. Wonder if parts from Testors be swapped out for some comparable Cox parts. I'm not to experienced with this so I'm not sure if the engines were even interchangeable..

GallopingGhostler they have been away in boxes for a decade now that I have them out people will be warned to look and touch with their eyes and imagination or they wont make it back out the door!! Lol!!

We All Have our own toys and its great we can Share the info, I Remember back in 1972 or 1973 bugging My mom for My first cox Car, the AA/Fueler from Penn Valley Hobby Center, Low and Behold about 10 years ago I got one NIB the side window box from Dick Matthews in Connecticut, Still have it today $150 was very reasonable, The Good comes around just be Patient. I am a car guy but Those Airplane Guys are Great!!! Cox Action Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill now I don't bug my mom but, I have to bug the wife and tell her it's the last 1 this time, every time! Lol

Good for You! My Mother has been gone now for 4 years but that AA Fueler came back to me as a blessing!

Good things happen to good people Bill..

(I couldn't help myself!   )

Okay guys let's admit it we all need more toys just get more Cox cars and airplanes and all the good old stuff and hide it behind the boxes you have on the shelves

Snuck this into the house, older Medallion .049 got off the Bay for $27.15 postage included.



Just needs a little cleaning, plastic looks faded but is really dusty, plan to add my Ace R/C throttle ring to it and my Norvel extended clunk tank mount to convert to self contained R/C engine.

Those TD engines are incredible I remember buying one from America's Hobby Center in New York back in the 1980s I have a brand new Killer B O 51 and the Texaco 04 9 new in the box I would like to fly a free flight airplane but am really been on the cars right now professor Rob Hardcastle is working on some badass airplanes

That's awesome Bill.. I Have the same one, NOS in its original incasement. I just wish I had half your knowledge!! Lol. And, yes, I am totally guilty of trying to get to the mailman before my wife sees him and hiding my new package amongst the other boxes I have stored away. Lol. I tell my wife that it could always be worse.. I could of been addicted to drugs and hookers so be happy it's toys!!! Lol!!!!!!!!

First time I think I've ever seen an example of an NIB Gilbert aircraft.  Not one but three I counted
Amazing

Thanks Oldenginerod!!

I kind of got lucky and joined the model engine Collectors Association around 2000 after that I've been speaking with collectors literally all across the United States of America Dan sitter from California has provided some very interesting information through the engine collectors journals and if you run these cars and airplanes I've learned more in the last 20 years playing with these toys then I did in the early 70s when I was a kid

I have to come across someone in my area that is as knowledgeable about Cox and the Gas engines as you are Bill so they can give me a quick 1 on 1 run down..

Which ones are the Gilberts?? I am guessing the Snark sm 62 , Starfighter and Skyhawk ?!!
