Anyone know what this little guy is? Or what it's value is. I'm debating getting it, don't know if the asking price is worth it or not. [URL=http://s23.photobucket.com/user/65sc/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150422_113316_zpsogs5acgj.jpg.html]

Never seen that. It's a toy based on the once-popular (in the late 1970s) accessory hood/fender replacements to make it look like a Rolls Royce or a '40s Ford. |

Yeah I'm familiar with the kit. Just never seen a toy related to it. I may go back and get it, just because I've never seen it before. |

$9.00 is cheap enough. I collect toys, seen thousands of them, but I've never seen that one before. A real odd ball in my opinion. _________________ My Beetles :

It's a Hong Kong copy of the old Revell "Barris' Kustom Rolls/VW" model kit, probably from the late 1970s. Are there any markings on the baseplate?
When something is only $9, I wouldn't get too hung up on the price. Just ask yourself if you dig it, and if the answer is yes, then buy it. _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.
