2 million bucks....
seriously, hard to say in that condition. Certainly $600-$800 as is. Once fixed up, well over 2k.

Re: old 1/4 scale sprint car ???
Wow... Did you find this in New Zealand? There's several photos in the Legends sections of similar ones, but not that exact model. Rare bird!

Re: old 1/4 scale sprint car ???
Hmmm no wonder Bents was so keen to buy this off me this morning!
I brought this car 2 years ago and has been sitting in my garage ever since, the guy advertised it as a home made car and got it from someone else as it was! I only wanted it to take a mold of the tail section for a 1/5 sprintcar which has yet to be started.
Just as well Bents is a mate and glad for his good fortune! I told him if I put it on here everyone would of said it was a pce of Shyt and worthless... live and learn

Re: old 1/4 scale sprint car ???
Bentley,
Mate what a find! I know of 7 running Pacesetters and 1 body that definitely made it to Australia in 1986.......just trying to locate them. That's has been a task. Newspaper adds placed all over the place. No luck so far.
Mine is the #8 on Mike's Legends page, that was found in Texas last year. It has a lot of the same running gear as yours.
