That looks like an Arntz/ Butler chassis and body design? What does it use for suspension?

The kit was copied from another kit that was based off an Arntz. Looking at the chassis it has been somewhat changed since then though.

Does the bad reputation get included in the sale? What about the outstanding parts and kits owing to poor innocent people around the country over the last "20 years".

Where are the 140cars hiding? Or is that just 140 usernames on eBay?

Mmmm Shaker business...

Make over $100,000 pa selling $85 Shakers...

Do the mathematics that's 1200 units per annum plus postage...

Or 24 Shakers per week.

Now factor in the fibreglass, resin, catalyst, packaging and postage and making $100,000.... profit per year.

Sold - I will sell up and grab this great cash flow business tomorrow. Just need to deposit the money in his Nigerian bank account..

Read down futher Bernie, $85 is the build cost, he says he sells them for between $475 to $800 + $800 fitting depending on which model car, he also says he supplied 50 every 3 months to rare spares.

In that shaker ad he actually says, "after being f over by ex business partner and we never really recovered after the black Saturday fires".

Would he like one of these??

Yes should have read down further but after the first few lines I thought "oh hell" here he goes again.

Mmm bet the so called re seller - retailer - would be surprised with what they supposedly sold..

Yes did hear he did not own the moulds.

Guess anyone could flop a mould and do their own thing, saving themselves $100,000 and saving 'dp' chasing the new buyer to recover his moulds!!

Tomcat

My maths are not good but..

Ok... ..

Sells them for an average price of $600 and supplies 50 every 3 months.

That's 200 per year at approximately $600 now that's $120,000. Plus fitting..

Damnn my cheques in the mail to him.

Or perhaps I should send my cheque to the Sth Australia Cobra club to pass onto their member who is still waiting for two kits after paying up front allegedly...
