^^ If that's the case, that's cheap then, well for the plastic body at least. Just look for "HPI 1/10 scale Eclipse" on ebay. I think they range between 15-20$ + shipping without paint. Although, it's a 2gb Eclipse body

Yes Rob that's him!
I want that thing!
Oh, it's an Eclipse, but still cool! I need something to chase all these earwigs down with in my new basement apartment.
I'm going crazy.

It is actually quite heavy, from the shear weight of it I can only assume it was made from a solid block of wood. This was either a designer's model or one used for the mockup of a windtunnel model for coefficient calculations. Still trying to find that out. Getting the model was the first thing on my list, research is after It was made with the aid of a CNC machine from what the previous owner told me. Hence the perfect lines and mirror image of the real deal 2g. It's missing the spoiler and mirrors for the exact reason Jeff mentioned, depending on the design of the CNC machine, some angles aren't possible and get in the way of the machine to finish the actual body of the car. Cost I'll keep to myself because it was a bit too much and either way, this thing isn't leaving my collection for a LONG LONG while I may try my hands on a 3D modeller to get a version I can finish off with the spoiler and so on, but this one isn't being touched, it's staying as-is.

I bet the Fast & Furious themed stuff is worth a little more now Yeah, anything with the figurine of Paul Walker went 10x the price. A model I bought for 9$ a long time ago has sprung to 175-250$ a pop. Makes no sense to me, but that's how our world works. People are only remembered and praised after their death, rarely are they in their own lifetime.
