Have not seen this MPC car before . Apparently , the body was supplied , and directions on how to make the chassis . It's not what I call a well balanced and proportioned specimen . More like a stretched limo than a slot car .

After studying the pics ...it looks like a model car , converted into a slot car . The asking price is ridiculous.

I think I ran into the auction you're referring to Zig - yes, absolutely a conversion and a crazy price. I may have tried messaging the seller, but if I did never got an answer. Somebody who's this delusional or dishonest will generally not answer...

Do you have the link?

Yep, that's the one I saw, asking $800 for an obvious conversion, chassis nothing special, etc.

I searched that model after I posted . There was an unfinished kit with parts missing and the guy was asking around $100 . Don't know if it sold or not , the site wouldn't disclose .

I guess MTH has a cousin in OZ!

That guy is in Fort Collins, Colorado and has no less than 8 negative feedbacks within one year... don't expect any response from that crook. And of course the car is as fake as it gets.

He also has this Lotus Indy car, based on the IMC static kit… very MTH-like.

There was a guy in Australia converting Volkswagen Beetles from model cars to slot cars, he was asking only A$40 for them , and clearly states they were conversions . And they looked really great . At least he was totally honest about it .
