I do seriously doubt the batteries are any good but it blows my mind how new it all looks considering it is the original period radio installed in this car apparently from new. This car is definitely a survivor... and to have the radio with it still as well, wow, nice display piece :D

Now to figure out what to do with it...

You should keep it. The buggy is unlike anything you have. While yes they handle like a turd on wheels, they look super cool doing it.

I know I should, but I kind of want to sell it off and invest the funds in a decent 2.4ghz multi car radio.. I have way too many radios around and trying to find the right one for a car is getting to be a pain ;)

If it were one of the vintage scale 4wd trucks Tamiya had put out You would not be able to pry it away from me.. There is too many cool and unique cars out there, to keep myself from becoming a hoarder I am limiting myself to vintage Losi mostly with some nice AE cars thrown in.

Got the OK to pass it on... Sorry for not keeping it. I had been seriously considering doing keeping it but I probably wouldn't treat it how someone who focuses on these might.
