So funny story. I had the tiger sting jeep as a kid and been looking for one for years. They're rare and can be pricey so it's never worked out. Today my wife and I are in a thrift store getting things for Halloween. As we go to pay I can't believe it... the guy in front of me is buying two joe vehicles and one of them is the tiger sting! I can't believe my bad luck, SO CLOSE to finding it in the wild. I haven't seen anything joe related at a thrift store ever.
So we get to the car and my wife is laughing at me for being so beside myself over this and she suggests I go talk to the guy... So I do, I think I surprised him a little, turns out he's a hell of a nice guy and a fellow joe fan! So we talk it over, the vehicles dirty and a little scuffed up, but nearly complete. Just missing one missile and randomly the steering wheel. But crazy thats all it's missing, considering how old it is and its been tossed around a sorting area. He scored and got it for 2.99. I want to be fair so we go back and fourth and he lets me have it for only $20! Really excited I've cleaned it up but the decals are still gross and crooked. So I will need new decals (but all the repros have United States on it and mine actually says Canada...) Anyway, i'm wondering if anyone here can help me source a steering wheel and missile for this bad boy! Sorry for the rant, but I thought you guys might get a kick out of the story. |

I found this story fabulous and motivating! I’ve never found anything useful at a thrift store. What a score man.

I might have some parts for this. I can check tomorrow. 20 seems a bit high since he JUST paid 3. He could have gave it to you for like ten bucks or less. I would have at least. I mean he hadn't even left the lot. IMO it's better to help out a fellow Joe bro and possibly make a good connection for later deals than it is to make a quick profit. In fact in case I don't have the parts here are two great guys who may, both are Tankers and the 1st people I think of when looking for parts. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/member...onguard-78585/
