Scored this built MPC '67 Bonneville on E-Bay last week

The glass was never glued in place :)  and the hood does'nt sit flush because of the tri-power carb.s and air filters.

This is a model I have wanted for MANY years and even though it's a built model-I'm happy to have it.

 I was looking at that one too. 130 bucks is kinda out of my price range though.

Yeah, It got to be a dog fight near the end of that auction, my max bid was a little higher than that so I kind of got lucky at $130.00

BUT- it will go nicely with my '68 Bonneville and '69 Grand Prix

Cool that you have the '68 and the '69 G/P, I have both those too but mine are a "bit rougher" than yours. LOL

This one,,,, mint in the box  would pretty much be my holy grail. I used to have one and sold it and REALLY would like to have another one. I do have a builder so ,,and everytime a mint unbuilt pops up, my toy fund is depleted

I've got this pair that look nice from the curb but the original builder had a glue fetish. They came from the same collection, so I'm assuming the same builder.   They have a few of those glue sink marks in awful positions. So I don't dare try to take them apart for resto.
