It looks GREAT, but not photographed fully out of the box. If not displayed and seller says it has been box-kept, that may be a good thing. These things are super heavy and the axles tend to let go before anything else will. A shot from underneath would be great.
And although I wrote this review 20 years ago, it may help you decide:

Edit: By the way $1500 is the going price for these currently; so it's right there.

@perrone1 I'm fine with the price, my concern was I'm checking his negative reviews and that raises concerns.

...it all looks fantastic me - BUT - I wish I could see ALL of it. I understand the seller's reluctancy to remove everything, but I hate buying anything on Faith. I can only assume everything's perfect & factory fresh!
Those old batteries might be suspect though.... 😉 😉
Congrats and post pics when you get it - you will soon own the second best (but BEST detailed ) 1957 Vette replica available. The holy grail remains the uber-ultra-super-rare 1/6 Highway 61 1957 Corvette. The wheels are as big as large donuts! 😬 😬 😬
