Force Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) I don't have many rare kits, only a few. In my stash I have the sought after MPC More American Grafitti Milner Dragster, an AMT 1962 Thunderbird Annual, an AMT 1964 Fairlane Annual, an AMT 1965 Thunderbird Annual, an original issue Jo-Han AMC Rebell Machine, a MPC Mako Shark Corvette, two each of the original issue AMT Tyrone Malone Super Boss and Bandag Bandit race trucks and Papa Truck and Hideout Truck transporters, one each of the original T500-500 and second issue T500 AMT Peterbilt California Hauler, and for sure some that I forgot right now...and no, I have not built them yet but I plan to.

64Comet404 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I had to think about it, because I have a number of desirable older kits in the collection. For the sheer "Holy @#*& !!!" factor, the unbuilt Monogram Futurista and the restorable UncertainT are definitely at the head of the class. All of my kits were bought with the intention of building, so it's a matter of living until the age of 150 in order to complete the builds.

Deathgoblin Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Rarest I've built so far have been the Revell Lancia Stratos and the "Dr. Krook's Medicine Show". I had to make up a few parts on the Medicine Show and crib a few from the Guber Wagen, but it came out really well. I've got a full detail Chrysler Turbine that I'll be building one of these days, along with a Jo-Han Superbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. Battista Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Another one I have and will build it...Is the Gunze Sango Cobra Daytona Coupe. This one has no engine... So when I do get around to building it, I plan to open the filip front hood and put a 289 in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Timmy Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I had the Jo-Han "Haulin Hearse, I built it and hacked the front clip off to turn it into a flip - nose. This was in 1984 I eventually "Cannibalized " the two engine's and some other part's for something else. Sold the body for $10 Now I would "love" to find another one .... preferably for less than $100.00 Way less ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose1957 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I usually don't buy old or rare models, not much of a collector, but I guess my most rare or valuable build would be my Ertl International Scout SS that I just finished. Of course they just announced they were repoping it, so it might not be so "rare and valuable" anymore, lol. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chepp Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 1. Revell Dave Deal "Deal's Wheels" Trans-Um Tirebird -- in Japanese packaging. Not built. 2. [brand name not available] 1975 Indy 500 winner. Not built. Both were given to me by the former Revell R&D and sales manager whom I later worked for at Zee Toys in the 1980s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battista said: Pete was probably talking about one of these two kits also 1/12 scale by Gunze Sangyo Yup, that's the one. They go for a pretty penny went they show up on the internet. Several now that they are asking a couple of hundred for shipped from Japan. I many have to just take a trip and see if I can dig one out for less. If anyone has one of these I would gladly trade the Indian for it or perhaps the Indian and another incentive kit. I have a good collection of the Gunze high tech stuff. like the SWB, GTO, XKE, Cobra Dayton, etc. Edited July 9, 2018 by Pete J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 My friend Joe "Ninny" had a real one. It had a sunburst orange paint job. The GS kit sells for a whole lot more than he paid for the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
