Thank you
It will go on a wall where I keep my cars
@Eagle11const Congratulations! I just have to know...What is the plan? I was going to put it in the middle of my bar in the garage. I couldn't talk myself into spending any more on it. I should have had a few beers prior to bidding I may not have stopped :)

@bhmohio It weight less than 500 lbs..... Easy to roll around!
Wow this is great. When you say "it doesn't weigh much at all" how much are we talking about? I don't even know a guess on that. Thank you in advance

This is cool !!!!! I don't know what I would do with it but I want it. No question it would look good hanging on the wall of my garage or make it into a Bar. Some one with more time and talent than me will probely figure out how to put this on a VW chasis and have a cool cheap toy.

Hello and thanks for visiting my auction. This is a pretty cool, model, work of art, display item, conversation piece, driveway jewelry or whatever.
It's located in my warehouse in New Milford Connecticut. It's on casters so it's very easy to move around and it doesn't weigh much at all.
I will be watching the auction and am available to answer any questions.
Come on by for a test drive!! :-)
