Looks interesting. Is it worth it?

Depends on your definition for "worth". No way will I pay $400 for a FM car that is a typical car with different paint and tampo's applied to it. The lightbar is really unattractive and outdated too. 2500 production isn't that rare for a FM car either. It'll fetch a few beans from the "gotta have its" but I don't think it'll get that high......but, time will tell. My opinions aren't worth much anyway.

Here are Ebay's completed auctions for this car...

http://search-completed.ebay.com/ws/...3849&catref=C1

They've only be around for about a week on Ebay and already the prices are coming down. There are a lot of them currently on auction also.
I think FM is trying to get some extra life out of an old mold. My guess is they'd go over better had FM used the 2003 as the base car.

Not worth $450, around $100 to me.

It may be a limited edition, but not a gotta have car, IMHO.
