on the box, it says, "first electric to break 2 minutes on the famous Thorp Road course".

You just don't get cool advertising like that today.

I've never driven this one, it's new in the box. Although, to my credit, or discredit as the case may be.... I'm willing to, and generally do, build new in the box old cars. New in the box doesn't mean much to me. I don't want to look at the box or hope to flip it one day and make a few bucks. I want to hold the old cars and feel them and imagine the scenarios that lead to their designs. And be able to hand them to other people and give them a small, brief, picture of the past. You don't get that from a dusty box. Although I understand why people do it. My wife likes to kid around that it's my personal goal to buy back every single car we've ever sold... ...lol... I kid her back, that You forum guys will know if I die when you see a ridiculous amount of vintage cars on eBay with my wife as the seller. haha!

I love 'em all, I think they're just magnificent. Each and every one of them puts a smile on my face for one reason or another.
