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

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

My brother has one about the same size, My brother bought his from a friend that owned a bar. It hung over the pool table.

Throw it on FB market place - people are still excited about the nascar race by you last weekend, should get some interest.

I know nothing about stcok car other than they go around... unsure.gif

But I would assume these are equipped with nice race only V8, twin overhead cam,...? confused24.gif

Why not installing one of these 1:4 scale running v8 engines! smile.gif Now for the gearbox... idea.gif

^ Beat me to it. This is going to be valuable to someone, somewhere, just the way it is.

Would look great hanging on the wall in the meantime—after all, you never know what you'll find At The Red Barn… smile.gif
