Don't open the box. That thing will be worth some money.

Very cool!  That's an awesome set!!!  :thumbsup:

What other cool stuff did he get?  Just curious, love looking at old stuff!


If you want a set you can play with, Kmart sold reissues of that set back about 10-15 years ago.  Can probably find one on Ebay.  I should've picked one up when I saw them.  :banghead:  They had several retro sets available.

You can make your friend jealous by being able to play with your set!!!!  :grinyes:

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

I'm still a kid at heart. Money or not, I would have to open it and play with it.  Who ever buys it might do the same to.    :jumping:

Still such a cool toy.  Doesn't get any better than a Snake vs Mongoose set.

That stool is cool! Pun intended! But 40mph on a bar stool would be a religious experience. I'd need a few of those pints to wind 'er up. Still, a neat and original toy. Enjoy!  :thumbsup:

Never opened, that Snake & Mongoose set is worth at least $1,000.
