2003Chevy 27 #1 Posted July 23, 2022 Hi folks! I hate to ask the "what's it worth?" question, so I won't... or, at least I won't ask the question right off. First though, please tell me what the heck the purple flaming Wheel Horse was. My research turned up very very little -- just says it was dealer only thing, circa 1996, no engine/drive-train, PURPLE with FLAMES hot rod look. That is seriously all I have been able to learn, but there certainly should be more info out there. How many were there? Just 1996? Just dealers? Are there any still out there in the hands of dealers or collectors?? And now for that big question, what would one be worth?? ---- of course, I am asking because I found one and I think I might want it even though I have no clue what I'd do with it! I eagerly await your info and wisdom!! THANKS!! [rayg] 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,339 #2 Posted July 23, 2022 I think it was a dealer promo gimmick. No idea on value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,324 #6 Posted July 23, 2022 There was one at the "Big Show" a few years ago that looked great. I have that poster on the wall of my shop office. If you give me the address and phone number of the seller I will go look at it for you. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Bill in VA 1,452 #11 Posted July 24, 2022 These were meant to be store window type displays and basic advertising. No engine ever came with these because they were static display units, but a few owners did install a vertical shaft engine to make them a worker. We have had a few over the years at the Annual Wheel Horse Show and if one changed owners I never heard a price. Wild Bill in Richmond VA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
