Somehow I missed this video.

It's great to see one of these running Nick.

Mine does not run, but it is an awesome Shelf Queen (one of my few).  :)

Very nice Nick!

That was a good one Nick for a bargain price; if I didn't have a nice one already you would have had some competition.

I didn’t plan to bid on it, but it was going way too cheap and I had already won 2 of the accessories, so figured it wouldn’t add much in shipping.

I was the underbidder to you Nick.

What a steal.

The bidding had a long pause and I thought I was going to get it around $275 or $300. Still very happy with the final price after fees and shipping/packing was only $28.75 for the engine and two accessories. Still waiting for Mr FedEx...

Box Arrived!!  ;D

Paint is better than it looked in the auction and I’ll definitely have to save this one for a 4th of July reveal  ;)
