I'm in love with it. I got it for $12 shipped, directly from China. Check out those hand crafted details!

Here's the ebay I won:

You know you need to put a motor and some steering in there. Take one of those small RC cars apart.

It would have to be a very small motor and remote!

Like one of these:
http://www.microrccars.com/

The stuff in there should be small enough.

Looks like I'm the proud owner of car #2

I don't know, the one I got is pretty heavy, mostly metal, not much plastic. One of those micromotors probably would make it more like a Prius than an FB.

Now if somebody was making a really little tiny 12A (with a Nikki) that might have possibilities.

I was wondering what that thing was. Yeah the detail is incredible, all on a car that's about an inch and a half long. I wonder how they do it, must have lots of little tiny decals.

Go Cody, show us some photos when it comes in!

Looks like 2WD to me. You don't suppose those Chinese have figured out a paint kit that puts all that stuff on at once, do you?

The screw was a factory option from mid 1980 to the beginning of 1981. Very rare and not available on California spec cars.
