Jantrix Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 My dad was a serious flea market guy back when I was a kid. It was his Sunday thing. He would pick up kits for me with some regularity. One sticks in my head as a favorite at the time, but I've never seen the kit again. It was a second gen Camaro, with a lift off top. I'm assuming it was lift off because it was missing, but the rear package tray had a little slot where a mounting tab would fit. I got a really slick stance on it and it looked great with that convertible style. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I've never seen a kit like that. Might have been a toy of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed stock except for a convertible up-top. Perhaps it was a snap together kit, 1/25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Wow. Just one on Ebay. Yikes. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Revell-Z-28-Camaro-Convertible-1-25-model-kit-6225-SEALED/143550450211?hash=item216c460a23:g:MAkAAOSwvfxeZQyq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one likely isn't going anywhere any time soon. On the other hand, the only sold one was $96 so that might be the going price. It seems fairly rare, probably due to its snapness.

Don Sikora II Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 It’s very hard to find and rarely shows up on eBay. Maybe 4 or 5 over the course of a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larman Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 It may be rare, but it is not a very good kit, I have a built one and it is a very simplified snap kit. The motor, wheels and tires are very toy like. It's one of those kits that is on Ebay for big $$$, but could show up at a local show for $10-$15 dollars......They also made a snap Firebird convertible about the same vintage.

keyser Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Here's the tab for the top. Seems some list it as 1/32 despite clearly 1/25 on box. May help with mislisted hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
