I’d buy this. Interested to see how high the price gets. Still a ways to go, and many bidders. Looks like a REALLY NICE kit. Decals and chrome appears to be in fantastic condition.
jjsipes Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Always liked the box top even thought Sox and Martin never ran a Fury

I doubt very much that it will go for the $150.00 that it's at right now with 6 days left in the bidding. These are tough to find and this one looks like it's in pretty much pristine condition. Steve

Steve Hmmm, decisions, decisions, do I pay the mortgage, or buy a model kit?
Bucky Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Take your 1:1 car to Titlemax, then you can get the 1:25!! LoL

GaryR Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) $ 150.00 seems really reasonable, this kit is pretty rare! It seems to me that Ebay prices have gone down lately. I never bid, just buy now if it's something I want and feel the price is good. Look around, lots of less desirable kits go for more! I say 200-250 tops! Edited August 28, 2019 by GaryR
TarheelRick Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 This completed kit is the only survivor I have from my first childhood in modeling. I built it as a S&M fuel-injected racer although I painted mine silver. It is in the process of being restored to a Day-2 stock. I still have the headers and the cheater slicks. I have replaced both bumpers and the hood with Modelhaus pieces. Got to figure out how to get the kink out of the left front fender. That came up after I stripped it, repainted the body, and put it in the dehydrator.
STYRENE-SURFER Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I'm not embarrassed to say I have paid up to $300 for a kit I really wanted. Those types of kits are not coming back so I have just a few of them, and NOT a basement full like some. If I was a Chrysler fan (not), and needed this or just plain liked it? I'd say go for It! Just tell everyone else you got it for cheep ? and eat Ramen for a couple weeks.LOL!
Brutalform Posted August 29, 2019 Author Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) I put a bid on it. But I will not increase it though. It would stink if I lost it by a buck or two. There are only 42 others interested in it. If by some miracle, I actually do win it, I don’t think the value will depreciate much, if I need to sell it to buy more Ramen.

MrObsessive Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Out of curiosity I'm watching this one. Thank goodness I have one of these.........a very restorable one with no box however. I've also got a '65 promo which has a cracked A pillar. A very easy fix if/when the time comes I want to restore that one. I expect this one to crack the $200+ mark. Seeing these in this shape with the original box can be very few and far between. Another reason I like clean builtups that haven't been glued to death. Still, it depends on who's watching and how badly someone wants a particular model. I've seen even builtups go for CRAZY money! A certain Johan '66 Chrysler 300 comes to mind which I happen to have, but not till after I got into a bidding war. Won't be doing that again anytime soon!
Brutalform Posted August 29, 2019 Author Posted August 29, 2019 I think I’ll probably get out bid. If not... good for Tom! I also have another bid on another JoHan, and I think I’ve got that one in the bag. This one though, not so sure. We will see what happens in a few days.Fingers crossed.

The just of my comment. .....Three weeks later.....a certain seller "just" happens to have this exact kit being parted out piece by piece and a starting price of $4.95 / part.....times lets say 97 kit pieces .....equals. I suggest bid high if you really want it......if nothing else you will have raised his initial investment. Or wait & buy it one part at a time. ?
Bucky Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 I passed up a Fury like this and a flat box '67 Fury back in 1998 at a show in Detroit. Both kits wudda cost me a whopping $100.00!

It’s terrible to see people parting out those old, original kits.
Bucky Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 I kinda understand why they do it, but I'd rather see them dismantle an old glue-bomb and sell it off a piece at a time.
gtx6970 Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 The comment ' I have not done a piece by piece inventory ' may hold it back from top dollar . It would me. I would like to have one of these, ( actually would prefer a 65 ) But if it stays under $200, I may sneak in at the end ,,, might ,,,,,
Can-Con Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Ya know, I do understand why someone would want to spend that much on a model. After all,, what would you really rather have, a $300 '66 Fury or 10 $30 '32 Ford kits? Just depends how much you'd rather have the Plymouth. Me?,, I'm quite happy with my cheap resin re-pop.

That’s it for me, I can’t afford to go any higher.

Then I'm out before I was in That was my max I was willing to go. And I would have built it at some point. the days of me buying shelf ornaments are over. Although I do have a few that will remain untouched , I don't have ANYWHERE near this kind of $$$$ in them
ChrisBcritter Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Too rich for me - I like the '65 better anyway. The seller does have other goodies I'm watching...
