    there were three on ebay in the last month or so, all went for about $350, I was very tempted to pick up a 2nd one. Including my one, I have seen a total of 6 different ones avaialble online in the last three years. They made 300.

    You are quite welcome.

    Sure, there are so few pics of Black Tracks online, I would love to have a credit. I'm gonna do a big gallery one of these days.

    Looks good, but I need permission to use the photo of the real-life car first.

    Doh! I saw that message saying "Permission Acquired" or something to that effect and somehow thought it pertained to blue Tracks rather than Road Rage and Black Tracks.

    James Kinsey granted us permission to use this photo of G1 Tracks' real-life counterpart.

    And Soundwave3k provided a corresponding photo of the toy.

    Entry for the Corvettes will be worked on now, then we can move on the the next model.

    google image search is your best tool for this project. i found hundreds of pictures of the vanette for ironhide/ratchet, but without an exact year it's hard to streamline the search.

    I would like to do the Datsun mold next. Feel free to add in everything else you find about the other toys, but I prefer to concentrate my attention on one model at a time.

    That being said, I noticed that these photos don't have the sunroofs (which are included here). Is that a characteristic of a specific model? Did the actual car exist in both Diaclone color schemes (blue with silver hood, which can be seen as a model car here, and silver with black hood) and the Hasbro color scheme (all silver)?

    Wreckgar, if you could take photos of those cars, that'd be greatly appreciated. :) 

    What's the difference between a Datsun 280ZX, a Datsun 280ZX Turbo and a Fairlady Z?

    Can anyone provide better photos for rwal life Smokescreen? This one is somewhat blurred, and this one is a little too small and not taken from the best perspective, unfortunately.

    EDIT: YAY!

    Does anyone know more about the differences between the various models (1979-1982)?

    What's with that rear bumper on the Transformers toy? The only photo I could find it on is this one from this page.

    *bump*

    Anyone who knows an answer to any of these questions?

    1) What's the difference between a Datsun 280ZX, a Datsun 280ZX Turbo and a Fairlady Z?

    2) What is the difference between the sunroof and no sunroof version?

    3) Does anyone know more about the differences between the 1979-1982 models of the Electramotive racing version?

    4) What's the story behind the rear bumper on the Smokescreen toy?
