Hi World -
My neighbor inherited this and was about to toss it. Short story short is that as of today, it's safe At The Red Barn. I'm hoping to learn more about it. It's essentially a display model. The "frame" is just a rectangle that supports the wheels and mounts the body. No steering, nothing under the body skin. Are these things collectible? I'm tempted to make it an R/C car or cut a hole in the roof and stick it on a go-kart. But if it's better off going to someone who collects or covets stuff like this, I think I'd rather do that. Any help appreciated. Thanks - Chris Attached thumbnail(s)

Cut it in half and it can be a wall hanging for two people. Kind of like what PMB has outside and inside of their building but not full size and not a Porsche
Very cool for a man cave Best Bob B |

I know nothing about stcok car other than they go around... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
But I would assume these are equipped with nice race only V8, twin overhead cam,...? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Why not installing one of these 1:4 scale running v8 engines! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Now for the gearbox... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)  Watch it running here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND2sr5HbQWI |
