Im surprised how much that car went for considering it was basically in the middle of nowhere (I was going to bid $700 and pay $850 for shipping..)

I should go and measure the one out of my wreck.

Always wanted a DigiDash in mine, but I think if I were to get one now I would make one from scratch, and it would be a digital mechanical hybrid.
