I have no idea what it is worth, but I just built one of the non-motorized versions. It is a decent kit. The biggest problem with it is that it uses a "steering wheel and steering front axle". To make it steer properly, the fittings on the spindles are huge, equivalent to about 3 or 4 inch Heim joints. If you file these down to a smaller size it looks fine. The model also needs addition of the left side cockpit upholstery panel and a firewall. But it builds into a reasonably nice KK roadster.
Jay, I did a search and found one at
Thanks Don & Den for the info, looks like a fun kit to build, I love the looks of the old Indy racers.
