$50,000 - with no mod list, no updated pictures (it says its painted "RE-Amamayer" colors ), nothing. Sounds shady as hell to me.

It's for real.
The legendary 4x4 FC3S that Rod Millen used to pilot...
Yes, it was shipped to NZ and sold to someone down there.
Those in the know will confirm this is all for real.

What a frekin dumbass.... PINK AND BLUE.. no wonder he didn't list pics... Plus it appears not co come with the seat, ECU or WHEELS......



What he's sellin is an FC shell with a racing tube frammed chassis, a 20B , and a 4wd system...

the tube framed racing chassis and the 4WD system and gearbox are custom PRICEY items....

not worth 50K though..

The price is so high cause of what the car has done in it's lifetime, not what it is now. I'm sure somebody would buy this car for 50k+ but they'd really have to love the history of this car.

Ted - I believe you that it's the real car, but you gotta admit that this is a pretty bad post (on ebay). I mean, no updated pics, no detailed specs, or links to either. no real details that would make me want to spend 50k, if I had it to drop on this car. Overall, I'd rate this as sad.

50K is a bit much, but I would consider paying $20K for it

It seems like a real shady ebay ad, their feedback rating is low, there are no updated pics. Hell, I could get the pics. and the history of the car anywhere. It could be legit, but the price is too rich for my blood.

This is a pro rally car, that has a lot of custom work done to it, this is why it has a 20B and 4x4....

isn't this in the FAQ or something, I know I read it somewhere..

no I just took the one picture of the car. I could not belive the shape it was in. the 1st time I saw it a long time ago it was on a lift in the back of the old RE shop. I could not belive He would store it out side under a tarp for song.

anyway last I heard about this car it was being shipped to AU about year to a year and half ago. so Im not suprized to see it end up in NZ.

Ok, there are 2 of these cars, one still owned by Millen and this one went from Amemiya to AU and to NZ and now is for sale, correct?
