That is an original K&B. That body is hard to find in very good shape. The reason for that auction going fairly high. Nobody makes a good copy of that body, so a nice car is hard to find.

Doesn't that body look too nice? It hasn't warped at all.

It's rare to see one not messed up.. Bad thing is it is missing the interior.

It fetched a pretty penny at over $300 with tax and all. Its missing the factory numbers also.
I am happy to have mine. Great looking car IMO. This is worth a read too. http://slotblog.net/...b-chaparral-2d/ Started in 2008 to 2018. Time flies.
I added a shot of the interior, with its factory dried up tape replaced in the same location.
P.S. this looks like a pretty good repo interior in-case someone has a car with it missing.
