Parts off a workbench. No lead or trail trucks, valve gear and crankpin one side....wires unplugged, big wad of black tape, their own inspection sheet says missing motor/gearbox and won't run.

Buy a motor and gears. Buy valve gear and crankpin. Buy lead and trail trucks. Find all the missing hardware. Figure out what electronics are shot and find those.

Or buy an All-Nation and swap the chassis out.

Shoulda gone in the trash pile....not $205 plus shipping for...not much.

Opinion.
