  1. Nice. I'm not a customs fan. But down deep I think I need to build one of these
  2. Just one? With your screen name I would have thought at least a half dozen. I'm waiting to see who has the best deal then I want to get AT LEAST a half dozen
  3. I might be interested in pretty much any brass era car in 1/24 or 25th scale
  4. Saw this headed south on I-19 south of Tucson Az.
  5. I dont have either version , I think about buying one of these kits as I would like the pieces to make a 396 convertible. Just never put forth the effort ( $$$$$ ) to make it happen
  6. I have one like that around here somewhere. I think it was made by MPB products ?
  7. I dont know the early cars very well, But I believe the difference is in the floorpan behind the front seats
  8. its GOT to be WAAAAAAY up there. But fun none the less
  9. Like the title says. Any good model swap meets or shows in the next few months in the southwest AZ area Im planning to dramatically thin the pile down and will be selling off a bunch of kits and individually in facebook groups is a pain

  11. Price / value is entirely relative to timing https://www.ebay.com/itm/MPC-1968-DODGE-CORONET-R-T-KIT-1768-200-FACTORY-SEALED-/163972792661?epid=0&hash=item262d8a4155%3Ag%3Aq-AAAOSwG8ld5qdh&nma=true&si=%2B%2FCnr47hcWdmZw5oojhMa2i61Dg%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
  12. Just want to wish everyone here a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
  13. I personally paid $500 for a dead mint sealed 1968 Color Me Gone Charger funny car. Then opened it right in front of the seller. I thought he was gonna have a coronary. Kit itself was perfect but had a tire burn on the decal sheet. Ended up doing some trading a year or so later and found a dead mint decal sheet for it . then sold it a couple years later , even made a little money on it. maybe 10 years ago, I bought a factory sealed Barry Setzer vega funnycar on ebay. Once it arrived it sat here for a few months sealed but I finally gave in and opened it. Kit and sheet were perfect, and I still have it today. Sealed vintage kits have a different following than open kits or builders. its been a few years but there for a while there were maybe 2 or 3 guys bidding against one another and paying some serious change for sealed kits. I watched one guy in the course of a few weeks grab ( all factory sealed ) Multiple MPC Mopar kits. and NONE were under $500 , most were in the $7-800 range. He got a sealed 1970 Challenger for over $1000. And as for comparing MPC 1969 Coronet RT promos to kits ,,,isnt even close. I saw , bid and lost out on all 3 of the 1969 Coronet RT conv promos. Between the 3 of them they topped out at over $8,000 . That one is the holy grail in the Mopar promo world
  14. I built one of these new WAY back then
  15. Thanks. I've sent an email to MCW. And asked if I can buy just the 1966 grill... Nothing ventured...nothing gained
  16. Thanks for the pics. I'm aware of the differences. I wish I was more computer literate...but I'm not. Maybe some enterprising individual can take these pics and convert them to be 3d printed. Please !!!!
  17. Anyone have one of the MCW sedan kits they can post pics of please
  18. Biggest difference is grille and tail lights and decklid trim. I'm not overly concerned with 100% correct interior. But need the exterior trim to be as close as I can get. (I'm in process of buying a 1/1 car )
  19. Ok, I'm looking for a small scale 1966 Plymouth Satellite , I know there was never a kit made . BUT is there a resin version done. Im aware of the MCW Belvedere but its a 2 door sedan . I need 2 door hardtop. How about diecast , I would prefer 1/25th - 1/24th scale but will consider a 1/18th if thats my only option
  20. This is the closest thing I have to a custom. But its pretty close to the oldest kit I have from a long ,,,, LONG time ago. This will stay EXACTLY the way it is till the day I quite breathing.
  21. model boxes go in the trash. unless its one from a vintage kit . Even those I have quite a few I may just toss ,,,no one wants to give me anything for them and I'm getting tired of them taking up space
  22. Last order I made was small. A few sets of tail lights and a few different sets of promo style hubcaps for some late 50s annuals I have . I did manage to meet up with a gentleman in Phoenix this past spring ( Sorry,,,dont remember the mans name ) and he had a decent assortment of Modelhaus stuff. spent maybe $100 with him , mostly replacement Johan bumpers and grilles. I bought every grille and front bumper he had for the Johan 1970 Roadrunner and GTX kits
  23. Cool. So I'm not loosing my mind
  24. For some reason inkeep thinking the red inner fender liners are both front and rear. Or were they fronts only?
