Rarest kit I probably have is a Jo-Han '70 Olds 442. My dad gave it to me when I was a little kid and told me to never build it. So far, I haven't touched it, but I'm planning on building it one day. 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Hardtop (1/25) (fs)

I found this locally (Iowa City, IA area) a few weeks ago. This is pretty high on my "didn't expect to ever find" list.

I have a newer version of the '68, but my 1:1 was a 2-door Bel Air. It wasn't a fastback, as the kit is. I'm in search of a '70 Impala kit (or better...an unused body), as that has the proper-looking roof line, which I would graft into the '68 kit. I've already reworked the rear bumper from three taillights to two. Just need that roof. The few '70 kits I've seen were ridiculously high priced for something I'd be chopping up.

I'm also "having trouble" finding a '67 or '68 Cougar. Saw two on on Ebay:

- $42.00 FOR THE EMPTY BOX. 

- $40.00 with mangled rear wheel arches.

Here is Premieres Triumph TR-3. First and only issue was 1959. Decent box, unbuilt mint inside. Good luck finding this one. Molded in pink also. This one is clearly silver.

OK. I have to retract this one (and so soon, too!).

I just saw and bought this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/197393963012. It's amazing...what you can find on the intergoogle. I figure the cost of it is the same as what I paid for the '68 AMT kit (which is really a '67 kit, but I'm a dope) added to the cost of getting a '70 just for the roof line. However, I won't then be wasting the rest of the '70. 

See, if you calculate the multiplicative inverse of the reciprocal, divided then by the root of the hypotenuse squared, one can easily determine that the smell of the color chartreuse is definitely greater than or equal to the roofline of a '68.

Am I clear, now?

Never has it ever been so clearly explained!

Interestingly, that is the exact same formula I used to justify purchasing 19 kits during my last HLJ order, except I had to change the colour to account for the overseas shipping.

Man that is cool. One I didn't see at the Toledo show or was looking at something else in his stash of goodies to buy.  My bad thought of  he will be here next year............
