Run it, race it, have it encased in that clear plastic they put bugs in. Whatever makes you enjoy it most!

dang...im scared to ask how much you paid for it since ive seen sealed in box versions just like yours go for 1-2k to the right buyers. nice find...always gonna have that delema open or keep sealed an original freshy.
do you think its a bad twilight zone episode for team associated to be re producing a buggy from yesteryear that is capable of beating their latest and greatest production buggy?

I don't plan on selling the thing any time soon so i don't suppose it will matter if i let it slip how much i paid since i know what it's worth. So here it goes.... he wanted $150 for the car, radio, charger and some other odds and ends. All nib sealed. Lets just say i paid less than half that.

That's a nice score my guess was 100. You did even better. I'm a mailman and I'm all over the place different towns and routes. I always look at the garage sales and man it's always way expensive go. Buy it new prices or just crap that should have been thrown away years ago. I second the garage filled with bad words. But good score better than being in a landfill or at goodwill.
