I doubt that I could afford buying something like this, and I'm not much of a collecter of anything. I offered $50.00 to the guy, and he just laughed. I don't know what its worth, but I would guess that it would likely bring several hundred dollars in the right sales environment. Since I've only seen three pictures of it, I can't tell what particular features it has. I'm thinking that its likely to be the end of the interest in it for me and that the guy who has it (if he really does have it) won't be contacting me about it anymore. I realized that the first photo I posted has the engine sitting in a white pickup truck, and I've never seen the guy drive a white truck (he has a burgundy truck). That doesn't prove anything, but adds more doubt to the story I was told. I did enjoy researching it however, and if I ever do run across something similar, I hope I can get a good deal on it.
