Buying it for the nostalgia

Postby gregj410 » Tue Sep 16, 2025 10:24 am

This is nuts to me since I was born in 69. 57 years old for this thing! I would not really buy this but I’m imagining a scenario where I buy this, build it, contact the owners or their ancestors :lol: and hand it to them and say “ I know he always wanted to build this “ :lol: here you go!

"The coach car is ready to go out of the box with an analog control system and features like overhead and open side windows, full interior seating with passengers, and factory-painted with lettered details."


Really? Looks like a completely unbuilt kit...

Other than being priced in the realm of ridiculous, have at it, :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It does seem like he has the description mixed up with something else.

I have a feeling that guy posted multiple auctions on the same day and forgot to change the description or too much cutting and pasting None of that description makes sense
