There is just so much here not...right.
2343. No. Plugged portholes, louvers on roof instead of screens. Dummy? With an e-unit slot? And the hidden stash cover? 2383 shell? Powered unit frame?
"Please view pictures provided for exsact condition and to use as part of description". Exsact?
Does have at least one 2343 number board. The shell is cracked through a rivet in the back. The stripe between silver and red looks like somebody did that by hand. With tape. Bridges the grooves.
The frame is shot. Battery damage, looks like epoxy fill and respray, eaten from battery hole (stash access?) to battery cover pivot rivet (pivet rivot?).
Cast in cab ladders.
Fifteen bucks, delivered. Opinion.
2343?

Re: 2343?
Spectacular mess. Nice high res photo's showcase all of the anomalies. Really poor paint job on the front end, Actually looks live multiple repaints. The original was a complex paint design involving a lot of steps. I wonder where he got the silver paint for the fuel tank, nice and shiny. Pass, too much wrong to fix.
