At $10, "runs good," I nabbed this Tyco piece off eBay. Please excuse the general disarray, as I am busy with other model rail projects right now!
Er, it is a Chevy, no?
When I get it up and running (hopefully it runs) I'll post a Chopomaniacal video.

Yes, that's a Chevy...a 1957 Chevy ( I should know, I own 3 full-sized ones ). :) Nice grab!

Thanks guys, but truth be told, I'd take an AMC Gremlin, Hornet, or even Matador with rusted rocker panels over a mint state '57 Chevy any ol' day. I miss the '70's- but golly those American 70mobiles were such dreadful pieces of recycled dog food cans! Who could forget the flammable Pinto? The Chevy Chevette ("It Will Drive You HAPPY!" [not]), or the ineffable Dodge Mirada (never shut off the engine). AMC's were wretched fix-or-repair-dailys, but they looked cool!

Uh Chops, you kinda got that wrong. Fords were the "fix or repair daily." The AMCs were the "Absolutely Mechanically Corrupt."
