It was partially incomplete, coming all the way from Finland to California...tossed on shocks & wheels and a little modification here and there...Not super vintage, but definately a hard to find car - only getting harder to find...

I got it without shocks, turnbuckles & wheels. Opened up one of my dozens of boxes and found a broken FT B4.2, robbed what I needed off of it and got it back to a roller. Was searching around and actually found a new body for it, so its enroute to my painter for some JK syyle graphics. I raced a Gen1 X6 for a while, then wandered away to run some Academy cars...so when this Gen 2, X6*2 popped up for sale, I jumped on it. I have a few spares that came with it, I may just attempt to piece a 2nd one together with some NOS that shops still have.

I don’t know where else to put this. But since two of the tires I’m swapping out came in the mail today it fits.


Thought this was funny. Not a jab at either company. I have no idea which tires was released first.

Never thought I’d own another one of these. I hate opening up the eBay app. I keep buying things I don’t need :lol:

Apparently I got a box full of trash.

Personally I hate it when people use broken chunks of styrofoam as it gets all over the house and is a pain to throw away but this packaging really steams me.

Ya, the car is under there and mostly as described but that packaging...

I am so steamed I want to leave bad feedback and shred the comments but I am holding off to make a more rational decision.

But, but, "up"-cycling fast food garbage is so, SO GREEN. :roll:
Yeah, no, that's garbage.

And you made the right call not blowing the seller up.

But only as long as you received what you purchased in the condition in which it was described.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

I received a car inside a fancy feast cat food box a few months back! I thought I was scammed but the car was inside.😧. It even smelled like a kitty cat! Oh well, I gave the seller props for sending the funny box!

I saw this and almost bid myself but I really want the early caged version , lucky you :!: its not the version I want but I'm still a bit jealous .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.
