Title: Vintage Fire Truck Pedal Car Value
Post by: kathyp1039 on November 06, 2013, 10:46:06 am
From the picture in its current condition-what do you think this is worth? Its on a local flea market page and I think the owner has it priced wayyyyyyy too low! But I could be wrong! Anyone know anything about these? Thanks in advance for your help!

Metal pedal cars on this side of the pond,...sell well,if this one is made of metal, and it does look like it...and if its price way down low....well, what are you waiting for...tell you what..give me the guys address.... ;D..by the style, i,d say 1950,s ...easily restorable...just like doing a full size car...but in minature....

I don't know the guy or his address, hahahaha. And he's not responding to anyone on the site about it either. Someone prob. snatched it up the second he posted it if they were smart.

That would be in as-is condition !! If someone restored it could probably make a bit just not as much as when they were bringing sky high prices !!  Wonder what price it was listed for ??
