Thats it,, Its now official ,,,,,,,,,,,,you are the certified master of the interior. Can I send all the interior tubs to all my builds to you for to apply your craftsman ship to ......
After a small tour around the country courtesy of the USPS . I can scratch another one off my want list. ,,,,,,,,A 1961 Ford Sunliner builder. This one completes my wants for the 1958 thru 1961 Ford convertibles
I have the intake, carbs and I think just one air cleaner . I would loan it to someone to make a copy ,,,but I want it back ( going in a Johan 1960 New Yorker builder I have )
Agreed, I want the 65 Comet more so than anything mentioned in the past 2 years. And I am a Mopar guy and still havn't bought a 65 Satellite yet ( but I plan to soon,,) I WILL get a 57 Del Rio wagon and probably a 61 Pontiac . But the Comet is right at the top of my want list for new releases
I've been asked several times over the years. I simply tell them to figure somewhere in the $150 range and up to build a nice shelf piece they would be proud of and they usually drop it after that. The last 2 kits I've actually finished I gave away to the owners of the actual cars they replicated. For free. BOTH were floored beyond belief.
Thing is,,,, at one time ,the original issue of this kit brought huge money. So IMO a collector will want the original issue and only the original issue. So chances are thats the only way it would sell for anything close to $129. This one and the Pontiac club-de-mer were highly sought after by collectors.
I've got a couple of the re-issues from a few years ago ( sorry not for sale at this time )
Mopar had there ' recomended ' color combinations. But it didnt take a whole lot of pursuasion to get most any color combo. I know of a 1970 Challenger thats sand pebble beige ( a 'very' light tan ) it has a red painted roof and a red interior
Not sure I follow. This kit shares nothing in common with the original issue MPC 1970 Challenger kit annual ,,,and no the body is not the same . As a side note,,,,, the body in the Soapy Sales kit is not the same as the one in the Original Color Me Gone kit either
Hemi Cuda convertibles have been deep into 7 figures for many years now. And I know of quite a few that get driven on a regular basis ,, One guy I know has a 1970 Hemi Cuda vert as well as a 1970 Hemi Challenger vert,,he takes them both on drives quite often so,,,, not all of them are garage queens
Steve, It looks amazing ( as I expected ) Glad to be able to help with the wheels. Looks like they went to a good home. And the '58 Sunliner conv body saved my builtup . I have been looking for a clean builder 61 Ford for myself . But unlike you,,,,,,,,, I want the roof-less version.
An extremely nice , unpainted, uncustomized , clean 1960 Lincoln convertible builtup . I already have 2 others but condition wise this one beats them both hands down
Now, If I can just find a 1959 thats just as nice , I would be a happy camper.
The box is an original a good friend of mine gave me that I will use as wall art
