More Door Corvette

[BIGTRUCK]

Monogram kit #2269 from 1980 the  Corvette American, as far as I know it was only issued the one time. A Custom Coach company in California built these in the 70's early 80's. This kit a few fit issues but not really bad. The mirrors were switched out for the Alternomad Caprice mirrors as they looked better, otherwise built out of the box. The last pic is the real car.

Thanks..after collecting all these years I said when I retire I will build anything in the collection unless it has lost its appeal then I would sell it off so someone else can hang onto it in their collection or build it..

I may have to adopt that philosophy myself, Ken. I've picked up a couple of old Johan kits this past year, with the intention of building them. I've not had any success selling any of my "high dollar" kits at the shows I've vended at. People still want to haggle over my $20. Moebius (hobby shop purchased) truck kits!
