cooltoys1 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I buy up every AMT original issue (actually the only issue) 1965 Dodge Coronet "Hemi Charger" i can find. I have 6 of them, mint in boxes, that will never get built, because they are worth around $200 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Goschke Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) AMT '58 Ford! Lack of more disposable income, and intimate knowledge of the work involved to make an accurate model from it, prevents me from further attempts to corner the market! Had two 1/1s, plus Mom & Dad had a two-door wagon when I was a kid. Edited October 26, 2013 by John Goschke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 MPC Datsun pickups. I just like the looks of the 1:1 truck. I think I've got every issue except for the second (stepside) drag version, and the monster truck (which I don't particularly want). I bought the first ('75) annual on closeout not realizing how well done the kit is (the box art doesn't really clue you in). The Dodge D-50 kit is probably just as good, but for some reason that one doesn't do it for me (though I've got a couple of them). Over the years, other kits have seemed to "find" me: MPC '33 Chevy panels, AMT '28 Ford sedans, AMT '69 El Caminos. Most of these were "builders", but were extremely cheap and in most cases had the unique parts (all three of these share a lot of parts with other kits that have been issued many times, and can be found reasonably). I've brought home a lot of Mustang IIs (both AMT and MPC) too; it's not a car I'd ever own in 1:1, but I like the looks of them. I'll look at every AMC-related kit I spot at a show, too...

randx0 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I can't seem to pass up reasonably priced vintage parts lots. you know the ones that haven't been touched since the sixties. there is just some thing about finding the parts that particular person didn't use or was hoarding ,seeing how they organized or approached building models. And it's probably a reminder that I should put those cool parts to good use. I also like all the extras like people , tools ,guns ,figures , surf boards, motorcycles ,minibikes and scuba gear.

I probably have about a dozen (not counting the later "Seville" reissues). I got the first and second edition of this kit an also a later flashy edition, just because I learned that it was the ultimate engineered kit by John Haendle, a guy who I would loved to have talked with.
