Too funny! People keep calling about my $60 GI Joe dune buggy... "Does it run?"

Had a Craigslist ad up for a while for a GI Joe dune buggy. I've had five people call me to ask if it's street legal, does the engine run etc.!!! I've added text to the ad to make if very clear that if you're more than 12" tall, you can't drive it!

Maybe I need to retake the pics with a shoe next to it for perspective??? Does this look like a real dune buggy? If it WAS a real dune buggy, would it be $60?

Is that real dirt on the hood, or has it been airbrushed on?

I think it's factory original airbrushed dirt.

Can't wait to start fielding calls about this one...
