Unique two-motor car.

Motors run strong. Very little wear and tear on the chassis and motors. Motors look almost new.

$120 shipping with tracking.

Jim Russell gave me one of these for breaking-down cardboard boxes on Russkit's loading dock. I was 13 years old and thought I struck gold. I wish I still had it.

Were you there at the timeframe that he owned the famous Cobra Daytona coupe?

Yes. The day he 'hired me I was standing near the loading dock when he drove up in the Cobra. He was with another man and I'm guessing they had lunch together and had returned to RussKit to restart the day. About a minute after he had disappeared into the building, he came back out with a box cutter and asked if I would break down the boxes for an RTR. You don't need to be told what my answer was. LOL...

American RussKit was very near my house and it was simple thing to get there. Kids were all over anyways since a lot of land around the small business park (which is still there) was owned by Howard Hughes and he never developed it. Motocross bikes, BMX-type bikes (wasn't a thing in the 1960s), people walking dogs, people catching lizards and snakes (one of my favorite things to do), playing 'war games.' and building 'forts' were many of the activities near the RussKit location.
