What ECU is on the car? Which differential? Has the car ever been in any wrecks, and if so, what happened? Are any spares included with the car (wheels, tires, a-arms, uprights, engines, etc)?

I only asked because I couldn't see clearly in any of the photos that they're just buried behind tubes, I had a hard time figuring out the packaging, and at one point I though that you might have just put in solid tubes to the mounts to keep it a roller.
Good luck with the sale though, should be a ton of fun for somebody!
Plus for Kirk, from the eBay Q&A area,

Doh. I thought I looked for the Q&A on the listing, but apparently I'm just another jackass that can't read for himself. Sorry!

It's ok, I couldn't locate the dampers, and I parade myself as a suspension guy.
Must sleep more. Or coffee more. Or a linear summation of those two.
That'd be a scary vector field. It would definitely be a spiral sink.
Best,
Drew

yeah theyre easy to miss, theyre mounted inboard along the bottom of the car using rockers/pullrods, pretty sure you cant see them in the pictures. And to whoever asked, no wrecks/accidents etc. Its actually a REALLY fun car to drive

<STRIKE>I forgot to check back on the auction as it ended.</STRIKE>
<STRIKE>What was the result?</STRIKE>
Ah, had to log in to see it.
$3,628US in case anyone else was wondering.
Wow, that's unbelievably cheap. Seems like you could part it out for more, as engine, ecu, dampers, and wheels alone should fetch at least that much...
If I was a first-year team I think I'd seriously consider buying something like this as a training vehicle, then design in any of the major parts you could use. Get some seat time and save some $$.
