NIB ultima, build it or shelf it?

[makya 13]

I came across a NIB ultima,  and it just stares at me from the shelf, almost like its calling out to me "build me, drive me!" 

It's one of those buggies that I dreamed of owning back in the 80's. While I drove my pajero and grasshopper in the novice class, I saw the rc10's Falcons and ultimas tear around the track like speed demons, planting themselves to the track like they had magnets, landing smooth with there oil filled dampers, finishing laps ahead of the other classes.

 I really dont know the worth, but it seems like it might be smarter to sell it to a serious collector and buy a used one as a runner? The box isn't perfect. And It doesn't have the front rims, but it has everything else still In the sealed packaging. 

 

Thiughts?
