I think I found a neat package deal, Exoto 312B and Andretti steering wheel

I usually don't post much in this section,
as my models are fairly mundane, but what I possess, I really like.

The other day by pure chance while looking at some hot rod items I found a blower intake, and the seller's name was Chitwood, so that kind of struck, and looked at the other items he had to sell, and among them, I found this package deal of a NOS Mario Andretti, Momo steering wheel, and a 312 B also driven by Mario Andretti, NOS by Exoto, 1 of a set of 2!

The clincher, or at least I thought it was, that this came with the certificate you see posted down below.
The seller’s phone number was listed on ebay, so I called him up, and it turned out to be Joie Chitwood‘s .
We spoke a lot of the 'old times' , a really nice guy, even gave me a discount as we were off the 'radar'...

I asked him to autograph the box , and it was the original one that he had received from Exoto,
still had kept it.
Sent me old magazines that presented the show they put on.


So what do you guys think?
