These models were not sold at the dealerships or in stores.They were occasionally given to preferred buyers.The models were made with the front clip (hood,fenders and front bumper) to be removable in order to easily show the unique "Step Down Unit Body Construction" of the actual car.Beautifully detailed body,wheel covers,seats and dash (oddly no engine,transmission or steering wheel came with these models). The model is in very nice condition with slight play wear and roof warp. Very good tires & hubs. A true rarity! Don't miss out! Please ask questions before buying as all items are sold as-is,not returnable. Thank you for bidding/buying.
