@edsnova -- well, yeah to all of that, but it'll never be original anyhow. The great appeal of a plastic tribute car is that one is allowed to color outside the lines. WE all know what this is meant to honor, and the spirit of the thing is intact.
4 hrs to go: $16,250 current bid. I've got the over/under at $20k, and I think it'll go "over".
It's a no reserve auction -- you win the bid, you get the ride. I really wish I had the space. And the money. But mostly the space.
The comments are classic on this, but the winner (IMHO) was the guy who said, "Forget the fire engine. This is the ultimate parade vehicle".
