@pete-rovero I have the FM 1/24 as well.

@chris I believe it depends on where you live. The bubbas in the south would be all over the Broncos and, with only a few exceptions, wouldn't give the dune buggy a second look.

@bob-jackman ...that may be true, however, just because THEY are unaware of a particular vehicle's value doesn't negate the fact that it's still worth something. 😉

@chris I didn't say it wasn't worth something. I said it depends on where you live.

@bob-jackman Gotcha! I wonder if anyone ever has ever approached the owner with an offer; seems hard to believe that everyone, in that area, is "clueless." But then again, this is America...... 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄

@chris I agree with you completely. The Manx is the one to restore, but I bet the Fairlane would be more comfortable to drive. As for value, most neighbors would just like to see these cars GONE!
