The rarest mpc kit is the 1970 Charger and certain years of Bonneville's.

MPCs 1968 GTO is kinda rare too.

Whats so special about jo-hann models that people think there worth a lot o money anywhere u look to buy used models or trade. My dad said even when he was a kid they were scrace not mass prosuced like revell or amt. my opinion is if they where so great they would still be in business today. But what i wanna know is why do people think there worth so much?

The "special" part is that they were a smaller company than AMT or MPC or Revell or Monogram. Plus, you will never see those kits produced again. They made beautiful bodies and on occasion they made awesome chassis and engines too as in the Trophy Series Mercedes' and the 30s Cadillacs in addition to the Turbine Chrysler. Even the lesser kits had unique subject matter that I myself gravitated to just because I was kinda weird....AMC, Full size Oldsmobiles, Station wagons...you name it.

Two I can think of, possibly three. First, my 1969 Buick Special with a 350. Of all GMs intermediates, the Skylark/Special/GS bodies just looked lighter than the Olds or Pontiac counterparts. Mine was a post coupe, although I really wanted a Skylark hard top like my grandfather's car. The second one was my 1976 AMC Hornet X hatchback with the 304. It would embarrass Camaros, Frirebirds and Challengers all day long at autocross. Mustangs were harder to beat. The third was my disco era 1973 Eldorado convertible. I lived in Santa Barbara then and never had the top up. I would pull up to the valet station at the club like a boss. My GF at the time had a VW Beetle....exact opposite of me in every way. 

Yes, Sjordan2, The work would be extensive. Would be nice to be able to build one though. The Hupp version was called the Skylark. Same basic car.
