Bucky Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I don't have much hope of ever getting any Jo-Han Fury from '65 to '68, except maybe the 4 door '68 Police car, and I already have one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give up. I found the Johan '65, '66 and '67 Fury's just in the past 5 or 6 years. All of them were un-built and in very good shape, all bought on ebay. The '65 was complete, the '66 was missing the chassis, (big deal) and the '67 was missing one stock wheel cover, which I have since found a replacement for. I don't recall prices on them, but I'm pretty certain that I did not pay $200.00 for any of them. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutalform Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 I like the 65 myself, especially after following Steve’s build with his. But that 66 looked pretty fine. I had a max bid, that I was not willing to increase. And I would have to agree with the others that it will probably pass the $250 mark. Just a bit out of my range right now. If I didn’t just fill my humidor with cigars, maybe I would have went higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutalform Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Well.... at least I won the 62 Chrysler I was after, for $42. All is not bad. This was another car I really wanted to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to get in and out on the passenger side!! I had a '72 Plymouth Fury 4 door sedan. Typical 70's Mopar boat. 360 2 bbl, green on green on green! My dad bought it as a second car after the '68 Buick Skylark I was driving finally bought the farm. The sad part of the story was that the choice was between the '72 Fury and a Panther Pink 1971 Dodge Demon with white stripes, white bucket seat interior and a 318! My dad detected a lifter tick in the Dodge, so we came home with the Plymouth. What a disappointment for a 17 year old kid! Shortly thereafter, my brother was getting rid of his '68 Chrysler Newport and I was given the option of keeping the Plymouth, or taking the Chrysler. It was an easy decision. The 383 in the Chrysler ran circles around the 360 in the Plymouth! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I Am Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I know that some of these kits are going for stupid money, that I would never pay myself. But.....I have my everlovin firstborn getting married in two and a half weeks, and dang, weddings are expensive. Soooooo...I put a built model on Ebay Sunday evening with a buy it now of $600.00 shipped....it sold in two and a half hours. Sure, I may have left some money on the table, but I paid for the cake...and a couple other things. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that she is 30 years old and will be paying for a large portion of the wedding herself. No model sacrifices required!

They never have, compared to other Jo-Han kits. A few years ago I paid $50 for a mint flat-box '64 Rambler American, and had to think more than twice about it. What finally sold me was the opening trunk, complete with luggage. Weird, I know. The Jo-Han flat-box "Custom Series" kits are also rarely seen, but don't seem to bring any higher prices than the regular kits. Which makes sense, AFAIK the kit inside is exactly the same as the regular issue. At least this '68 Eldorado is. Jo-Han just played up the custom building option. Great box art, though. Reminds me of the '66 Toronado in Stephen King's novel "The Dark Half." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY daughter, Alicia only turns 30 tomorrow. Lol. I don’t see her getting married anytime soon. Her and her guy have been together a while, and I guess if it works for them, that’s all that counts.

I would estimate that the Chrysler should still bring close to $200.00. I won't intrude. I already have one. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
