I have a Jo-Han Chrysler Turbine Car kit. Got it at NNL West for an entirely reasonable price. I plan to build it, but my kids know to check the price on that one after I'm gone.

Thought the topic was about kits you want.

I want a Yellowjacket.

But I have:

JoHan Petty Superbird

JoHan Torino stocker

JoHan Pinto F/C

JoHan Challenger F/C (Stevens issue)

IMC Little Red Wagon (but all the injector stacks rolled out of the little hole on the bottom of the box - I think)

I think the topic covered rare kits that have been desired,  found, secured, or pretty much impossible to do any of the above.                       When a blown up old '66-'67 era Monogram  " Uncertain T " kit showed up at a club auction last spring I jumped at a chance to bid for it. Given its rareness...couldnt believe I got it for $25.00....guess many of the younger attendees werent sure what it was....

I was lucky to find a nicely built Survivor years ago.

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've got a full detail Jo-Han 1963 Chrysler Turbine, unbuilt.  I'm gonna dig that kit out next.   Have a partially built Airfix 007 Aston Martin DB5.  Got Dr. Krook's Medicine Show.  The kit was partially built and mostly complete, but I had to make a few parts like the rear panel.  Also have Der Guber Wagen, but it's really incomplete/damaged.  I'll have to make a lot of parts and pull from other kits to complete her.

I’ve heard that’s the most detailed kit one could ever put together; though I would totally welcome the challenge if I got my hands on one.

It does have plenty of details and movable parts, such as posable steering, folding seats, opening doors, trunk and hood. Mine is molded in an ugly dark brown styrene. I kinda like what Steve Magnante did with this kit in his latest YouTube video, two hemis.

Amt 66 ford falcon.

It's really hard to find thies with stock rear wheel wells because they almost all have been hogged out. It's pretty much all there except for the custom parts and drag parts.20250602_185017.jpg.7344e8f924ff9776492154dbc54cd69b.jpg20250602_182306.jpg.3064b6cb3fa7c8c853fac88b8c727df5.jpg

I have wanted a 68 Chevy for so many years, can’t afford the prices unless they remake them it’s nice to see one."

I had the Sonny & Cher Mustangs.

I built them terribly,  and they suffered a gasoline and firecrackers untimely  demise. 

If I could go back in time, ... I would punch myself in the face .

Repeatedly !!!
