In my stash there's an AMT '69 Mustang that was in a series called ( I think) Wild Wheels( the same series that had the '40 Ford sedan delivery with the altered headlights). Cheesy looking wheels and 2 engines, neither of which looks any good. I must have gotten it cheap.

Got it as a "gift" when i bought the 50 years of revell scania showtruck.

Lessee, I have a Monogram '58 T-Bird I have no interest in building. Also have a Revell '80s or '90s Pro Street T-Bird I have no interest in building (only bought it to use the chassis to make a '65 Mustang pro street that I also lost interest in).

I've got a revell mk2 vw golf in the kamei x1 boxing I will probably never build, but its the same as the tuner version revell usa released so I'll build that one instead. Its not really a lack of interest though

Twas the Monogram 1/12 scale '57 Chevy!

A friend gave it to me for a birthday present,  "Betcha can't build a big 'un!"  as if we were assembling puzzles or something.

I think I gave it away.

Were you looking to get rid of the '58? Thunderbirds of any year are my favorite........ ;)

Several '90s Monogram NASCARs.  My interests have moved on after building a ton of them, can't sell them, can't give them away.  Good for parts I guess.

would you be interested in trading the 58 bird?

I have a Revell 26 Ford T sedan delivery street rod "Lil John's" I can't seem to get the steam up to even open it. It's been in a closet probably since the 80's still in original wrap. I think I keep it because it's small block Ford powered instead of Chevy. Hate the Jag rear end, wish it was a regular sedan instead of delivery but yet I leave out hope for some inspiration one day. The older I get the less it interests me really but I did move it from the closet to next to my living room chair.. It's collecting dust there now.

To be honest with myself, probably at least 30-40% of the kits I have on the shelf I really have little interest in.  I am addicted to buying plastic, then after a few years of them sitting on the shelf wondering why in the world I spent good money on that kit.  Some I will probably use for trade fodder, others may be pirated for parts, and some will be sold at my estate auction.

I got this in a box with 10 other kit's , at a Garage sale.

I  really don't care for Ferrarie's.... can't even think of what to do with any of the part's ......

Willing to trade for some "Magic Bean's ".

For me it would probably be the '23 Model T delivery van that I won in a raffle last year, and a Monogram 1/12th scale Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing.

There are others that I picked up many, many years ago, but I rarely waste the money on a kit that I'm not interested in.

I would rather spend $150.00 on an old vintage kit that I am really excited about, versus a half dozen modern kits that I have only nominal interest in.

My sentiments exactly. While I was looking thru my stash this weekend, I was thinking...."When is the next show so I can sell some of these off?" I kid myself that I will build those 32 Fords and 57 Chevys, but I will win the lottery before that happens!
