Doesn't look like a Conley, I have seen those bodies around from time to time. Strange part is that every time I've seen one the chassis has been different.

Now sure if that it or not but there was a guy selling one on Fleebay about a week ago. It was handmade though. If you can get a pic without the body, that would help out more.

I`ve seen them marketed as 34 fords, theres a few moulds out there and they pop up on fleabay now and then.
Theres a heap of other forums that will offer you better help for this sort of thing but i cant post any links due to draconian link posting regulations in here. do a google search for something like quarterscale

ok here's the condition of it. it's been sitting 5+years.
fuel lines are shot (dry rotted), air filter element shot (dry rotted),both driverside hood peices are missing (argh!!!!),has working headlights and taillights (not sure if they still work i need to check). other than that it looks like everything is there and in good shape.heres some chassis shots.

hey champ48 glad the baja's doing good for ya. i lost the c-clip for the spur on my baja so she's down till i get another one.
there is no spark right now. it might just need a good cleaning.it's been sitting for over 5yrs. there's no radio but receiver,servo's and all are there.
it even has working head and tail lights (that DO work)
i traded a bunch of vintage home stereo equiptment for it.

I think these are more about scale than performance. Very cool.
