    If I remember correctly, the engines were originally for sale at around 15,000.00. Then, the foundry burnt down and destroyed most of the molds. This is the only surviving example. Still, 250,000.00 is a lot of money.

  7. how in the hell do you make shit that size and intricate run. I know there is small r/c nitro engines but like holy shit this is a little more 'detailed' then that.

  11. It is art -but really, wouldn't you simply buy the real thing at a fraction of the cost?
     
  12. Things like that "blow my mind!" Amazing - I wonder how long they will run, you know for the warranty. He-he. When I see things like that, I wonder if I have ANY skills at all. They are beautiful.

    Worthless IMO. Great machine work , but to what end? 250K?!?!? You can buy the entire real car for that and have some left over.
     
  14. Thats amazing but to me so is 250k. I'd rather have 250,000 project cars! I'm being greedy, I just want one that runs.
