My irresponsible spending spree continues unbridled (I'm selling a bunch too). Once again, none of it cheap, but I'm in a what-the-heck-you-only-live-once frame of mind and more are on the way.
(To ease my consumerist conscience, I am donating 30c per model $ spent to my favourite charities, The Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders. And no, I'm not rich and only slightly crazy.)
This one is a favourite and in near perfect condition, sealed inside...
This one has some interesting extra bits thrown in that weren't mentioned in the auction - eg. a 4-cylinder engine and dog-dish caps. On the other hand the body has a slightly messy clear-coat that also wasn't mentioned, but I'm very pleased with it...
I wonder if I'll ever build this - I would actually love to see one WITHOUT massive rear rubber and a blower sticking out of a hole
in the hood. Meanwhile I'll enjoy it for its beautifully done box - I have a 77 Monza and a Pacer from the same series.
Side view...
I bought this empty box to house the built kit I bought 25 years ago...
This was relatively cheap and will ease the restoration of a heavily painted built kit I bought last year.
And some paint.
I should really start building again.
