Vette(s): 1979, 350sb, as my kids affectionately call it "shit brown" Corvette purchased in 1996. 84,000+ miles. Not a show car, but I love her just the same.

Jim:

As with anything we sell it's worth what the highest bidder is willing to pay for it.  I am assuming you are looking for us to tell you what reserve you should put on it, but only you would know that, since you know the costs that went into creating it.

It's a beautiful replica!  You did a great job on it.  Is it big enough for an adult to sit in it, or just a child?  You may want to mention that when you go to list it.

Nice job!

Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.

 

Mark, You're right, I know what my reserve would have to be. I would just like to see how close you guys could come to guessing the actual cost of building the car.

Unfortunately, It's only big enough for a child. The only way an adult could drive it is to take the body off the frame. Thanks for the compliment but I can't take credit for anything on the car other than the idea to use the glovebox emblems on the front and rear and the vinyl trim.

Vette(s): 350/350 T-top 1970 Cortez silver -blue interior

1 cylinder ? doos this means its scale 1:8 ?

No, serieusly , very nice model Jim  . I like toys and was even thinking of building one myself for my ( first)  grandchild but have still some time ... she's only 10 months old.

have seen on the expo a also very nice replica "toy" of the Bugatti racer , made in aluminium with a electric engine : price was 5.000 euro = 6.000 $. More to show in a hall or shop than for playing ....!

succes with bidding !

Norbert, Let me figure this. The car is actually 6 1/2 ft long. At 1/8 scale, that would make a regular vette 51 feet long.  If you were referring to cylinders, it's 1/8 of 8 which equals 1.

JimG...Hope to have it on eBay by the weekend and my reserve will be much less than I have in it. Besides, you're close to NC....you could pick it up.
