Need help with mystery toy

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.

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.
