Car Wars Classic
Smilin' Scott's New and Used Cars
by Charles A. Oines
(All of the vehicles on this page have been designed using
only rules and components found in the small-box Car Wars
rules.)
Have we got deals for you! Start the duelling season off in
style with any of our restored classics! Each of these
smooth-running pieces of duelling history has been meticulously
rebuilt, being extra careful to include every tiny detail, from
the durachrome bumpers to the simulated woodgrain dashboards
even the chrome, foot-shaped accelerator pedals! If you've
wanted one of these cars until your heart ached, now's the time
to visit Smilin' Scott, just south of Krystal Lake Road in uptown
Midville. And remember, we're always interested in your
trade-ins, so drop on by!
No financing. We hold titles. Returned vehicles taken at
salvage value only.
2032 FNORD! Avenger
You know this design one of the earliest armed road cars
built and still one of the best! Easy and cheap to
maintain, and faster than a cat in a doghouse, the '32 Fnord
Avenger is one of those designs that will never go out of
style! We have the first FNORD Avenger to roll out of the
Detroit factory! Serial #00001A. restored to perfect condition
by Midville's own automotive wizard, Rod Keller. Drop by the
showroom and look it over! (Bidding starts at $23,500.)

2031 Amex Rampant
How many of you remember when the Amex Combat Autoworks
duelling team of Terror Ramirez and Paolo Alvarado of Las Vegas,
Nevada took the Hot Asphalt Circuit Division 20 Championships two
years in a row, with the same car? While neither of these
are the actual cars used in those astounding wins, they have been
worked from the ground up to look exactly like them, with
redandblack paint schemes identical to those used in '31 and
'32. We've even gone to extra effort to add the exact tassels,
carpeting and fuzzy dice used in the originals.
Rampant -- Luxury, x-hvy. chassis, hvy. suspension,
super power plant, 6 solid tires, driver, gunner, 2 RRs linked F,
MFR L, MFR R, SS back. Armor: F40, R35, L35, B30, T10, U20, 4

popular bad guy, Vance Morrison) has been retired as of this
season, and is available to the highest bidder! Accept no
substitute! This fully-driveable combat machine can be yours!

power plant, 6 PR tires, driver, turreted VMG, 2 HRs linked F.

2037 Trinity Survivor
Though the technology used in the Survivor is nothing new, it
works, and works beautifully. Capable of handling itself in the
arena or on the road, the Trinity Survivor series has been
praised by Car & Duellist magazine as "capable of
shrugging off enormous punishment we felt safer in the
Survivor than we do in our offices!" We have two on our
lots, but they'll move fast once word gets out!
Survivor -- Heavy Trike, x-hvy. chassis, hvy.
suspension, super trike plant, 3 solid tires, driver, 2 linked

U5/10, 3 10pt. wheelguards. Accel. 5, top speed 92.5, HC 2;
3,357 lbs., $14,523.
2030 Grenadier Sortie
Grenadier Motor's Sortie has been accused of aggressive
cuteness from the start, and it happily accepts that charge. From
the stout, curvy body to the little yellow happy faces on the
side rocket ports and the petite ramplate, a smug and dangerous
cuteness just oozes from this little car. Over 10,000 Sorties
were sold in the first model year (7,000 to women!), and we have five
of them, in hot pink, screaming yellow, sky blue, off-white
and pastel green. All have been refinished and detailed with your
mind in mind!
Sortie -- Compact, hvy. chassis, hvy. suspension, medium
power plant, 4 PR tires, driver, RL front, HR right, HR left.
Armor: F30 (ramplate), R30, L30, B30, T15, U20, 4 10pt,
wheelguards. Accel. 5. top speed 92.5. HC 2; 3,950 lbs., $9,750.
2036 Cycle Concepts Reaver
We don't normally deal in motorcycles, but we had to make an
exception for these! We have two '36 Reaver racing bikes, sold
when the original owner faced economic difficulties. His loss is
your gain, however, and we're willing to let both of them go at
30% off! Drop by soon; these classics won't last long!
Reaver -- Heavy Cycle, hvy. suspension, large cycle
plant, 2 PR radial tires, cyclist, 2 MMLs linked F, PS back,
HRSWC on MMLs. Armor: F25, B20. Accel. 10, top speed 135, HC 3;
1,300 lbs., $9,340.
