Oh snap!

Seriously though, wouldn't a truck and trailer like that go for >$80k?

Interesting find Kendt.

Nothing says legitimate racing school like a 4-point harness.

That truck was maybe worth $10k. The trailer? Hard to say, but I'd guess maybe $40k if you find the right buyer.

I own a Volvo semi for a reason...they really don't cost that much.

Am I the only one that doesn't get the whole "monster tach" thing? I mean who drives around watching the damn tach? If you need something to tell you when you shift I can assure you a single SMT LED can be more than enough.

You need to know when the welds on your manifold are about to blow!

It is a school car, right? Maybe the instructors need to monitor the students and/or be able to use the tell tale. Plus it needs to "look" like a race car. The factory tach is buried in the dash "well".

Yeah if you read the ebay listing, it appears it is a school that is not necessarily racing. Probably impresses the corporate types to have that big tach.

Unless they swapped out gauge clusters, these must have been barebones base model Civics with NO tach:

Yep, the ad says they were DX civics: no vtak, no tach, no power windows/locks
