a GM EV1 with 10x the batteries with a paper-mache volcano on the roof or covered in shaving cream?

If it moves and shouldn't, use Duct Tape.
If it should move and doesn't, use WD-40.
If those don't work, its BROKE!

I walked up to this thing quite accidentally. Anything I could say about how awesome it is would be too much. So I will withhold comment until Friday afternoon.

It is true that "built in the 90's" doesn't specify a century.

I doubt it.  It was based on the "Woodburner" model kit, one of the "Sticks & Slicks" line of fantasy hot rod kits released by MPC.  I suspect the full-sized version was strictly for the static show circuit.
