Ertl die cast blueprint trans am kit

[ERIK88]

Can anyone tell me more about this kit? Is it valuable? What are blueprint kits?

I had the Z28 from the same period. Ertl made several unassembled diecast at this time. I'm thinking none of them are highly collectible. They would have value to someone who just has to have one. Ertl before acquiring AMT, made their own models. Mainly big rigs and of pretty good quality. Blueprint was on all their kits. The quality was fair on the diecasts. They were pretty simple as most diecasts were at the time. That's about all I know.

I had the Ertl Blueprint series kits once...loved the plastic ones they were great kits...had a couple of the die-cast ones they were not as good but they were ok.

"Blueprint Replica"  was just a trademark Ertl used in the late 70's through the 90's. It was used on just about all their toys like the trucks, farm toys and the kits.   

Most of these kit sell for in the $10.00 to 15.00  range but that one could go for $20.00-25.00.  The Smokey and the Bandit look is always good..
