First for having the skill and fortitude to see such a beautiful piece of artistic engineering through to completion, and second for having enough pride in himself and his work to have the nerve to ask what he really believes it's worth. What it's worth to him anyway.
Don't mean to be making sport the man's work, they are nice hand made work. What sets it apart is the ultra high costs beyond most's means, or beyond one's reasonable budget.

Re: High Cost Engines
Then ... I thought it was opportune to share with you an engine made in my country in an artisan way by an artisan!
I hope you like it!
The brand of the engine are the initials of the creator JCM, made in Argentina.

Re: High Cost Engines
Beautiful piece of engineering art!! I assume it must generate at least 6HP power? Is this a glow or a gas engine?

Hello AndrĂ¡s, it is a Glow engine, that is to say "brightness", I have captured an image of the video where you can see the set of batteries to heat the glow plug.
Mr. comments in the video that he needs many amperes due to the consumption of the 5 glow plug.

They are larger because this one is a touch shorter at 18" long.
Here's another high priced tether car ($2.5k), but has no details on what engine powers it or even has an engine.
E-bay Item# 302706347058, Metal Racer Tether Car Inspired by Ferrari GP F1 Vintage

Re: High Cost Engines
Perhaps these are coming out of the woodwork now because of a recent episode of "American Pickers" where the guys paid thousands for a couple of tether cars.

This must be some type of a fad thing going on. I see these as toys for the wealthy, who can take a hit on their stock losses and not wince.
Actually, the tether car / prop rod sightings that I have enjoyed are the ones done here in this forum, the ski prop rod in snow, the old time prop rod twin fast run from down under, remake of a Scientific hollow log body Sprint car, refurbished Cox item, and etc.
There is more originality when someone builds their own creation and shows it off here. That is a closer touch to reality for me and with far greater worth than these ultra expensive and IMO overpriced display items will ever show.

Is this the "refurbished Cox item" you mentioned, my $96 wonder car???????
I will let it go for a mere $2k..........
