    I came across this . Well I saw someone selling a 23 t bucket up here in North Pole for 7 grand so I googled to see what they look like and came across this ad. Any one ever mess with this? This is like a "fake" or life size working model ?:confused:Thoughts ?

    Those kits have been around for years from various manufacturers. This one looks more complete than most. By today's standards the price isn't bad. Whether the quality is any good or you get what you pay for, I have no idea.

    When you look at the price of the kit plus engine, transmission, chrome, upholstery, paint, wheels, tires and all the other parts that go to make up a car the $7000 one doesn't look too bad. It's probably not worn out, they spend most of their time sitting in the garage and never get many miles on them. As soon as you drive one you will know why.
