I'm sure if I'd think about it, I could have a list 10 pages long of "Holy Grail" kits, but here are a few of the most inmportant.

• 1974-76 Trans AM-One of very few styles I don't have of a Gen 2
  
• 1978 or 79 Trans AM Type K Sportwagon
  
• Monogram's 1/16 scale tractor trailers-Any of them would do, but I would really love to have the blue Kenworth Aerodyne I had as a kid and the trailer to go with it
  

It is ironic just a couple weeks ago I did get one of my "Holy Grails" scratched off the list, MPC's 1/16 scale General Lee. That was the first model I ever built and wanted to replace it ever since I'd lost the original in a house fire in 1997.

I guess this is as close as I get to a holy grail these days. It's by renwal, and it is the only Cobra variant I don't have yet. Cobra? yes this car was built on a cobra chassis, CSX2451 Designed by Virgil Exner.

It's hard to find this kit for a price I'm willing to pay.

[Ben]

By "Holy Grail" do you mean kits that we already own or kits that we have yet to obtain? For me, on kits that I already own, it would be a toss up between my two Renwal visible chassis kits or my Monogram 1/12 Mean Maverick funny car kits. As far as kits I have yet to obtain, it would be the Aurora Racing Scenes VooDoo Vega complete funny car kit and the Pinto complete funny car kit. I have the rest of the entire series, just need those two!

[Crazy Ed]

In addition to the kits in my sig. I'd have to add:

Formula Canadas Shadow DN2 + 4 kits

AMT or Johan Mark Donohue '70 + '71 Javelin's

[Dr. Cranky]

I don't really have any, except for a couple in of builds in my imagination that I would like to get down on styrene.

[Harry P.]

1/8 scale, full-detail Daytona or Superbird. Either one. With options to build a stock and an accurate NASCAR version.

I know... don't hold my breath...

[Dragline]

The Aurora Racing Scenes stuff is something I wish could be redone. I bought a sealed VooDoo Vega a few years ago so that's off the list, but the rest would be nice. I also would like the Snake and Mongoose rear engine cars reissued. There are quite a few Tom Daniel kits I'd love to see as well.

The Monogram 1/32 gassers were VERY cool too! I think there were at least 3 of em. All the Museum Pieces and Early Iron cars reished would also be sweet.

[kelson]

I guess for me it would be mpc's 73-Caprice,i've tried at least 6 times to get one on Ebay and have been outbid everytime!,guessing it's the grail kit for many others as well.

[highway]

This is my "Holy Grail"

I'm guessing you want it for the Coors decals, because other than that it's the Kenworth cabover AMT just reissued.

[2000-cvpi]

The Hubbley 1960-1 Ford station wagons. Several sixties Jo-Han Mopars and the Cadillac hearse. I stay off eBay and I am cheap so it may be a while until I get them.

[XJ6]

***Gunze Sangyo*** - {HIGH TECH MODEL} Ferrari 250 GTO Competion '63 Kit.G-227.... " Enzo's Master Piece"

[brett]

MPC funny cars and the pro stock vega, though any vega would do. And if we're dreaming aloud here all the Aurora Funny car sets

[Tonioseven]

What is your Holt Grail kits?mine would be mpc's 1971-1973 caprice and a revell of Germany kenworth aerodyne cabover

They're out there somewhere; I stumbled onto a '71 and two '73s...

[58 Impala]

I wish I could find a 71 Impala, that was my first car. But everyone I've seen I'd have to refinance my house.

[disabled modeler]

Mine would be the following...

Johan 60s Hearses.

Johan 66 Chrysler 300 HT.

Normatt Winnebago motor home.

68-70 Bonneville HTs.

Any 60s station wagons I don't have.

Resin 64 Bonneville 4door wagon conversion.

and to find parts for my dads old models they need.

I have trades.....?

Well, I just noticed that there was another I had forgotten about, the original AMT "Back to the Future" time machine. Strangely enough, I remembered it was one of my "Holy Grails" I'd forgot when a friend gave me a plastic tote today (well yesterday now since it is technically Monday now ) that was filled with models from when he tried modeling in the early 90s and that was the first kit I seen!!! I about fell over in shock!!

[Mr.Zombie]

Beatnik Bandit. I even put candles around it. I hope I will be good enough some day to build a beautiful car out of it. Until then it has to wait.

[Greg Myers]

[my name is nobody]

MPC 1968 Dodge Coronet.

[Mr.Zombie]

Awesome! Jeez I'd love to build the light blue five window...

[Eshaver]

Mine would be the '60 El Camino made by Revell.On the box art the car is painted green with scallops

Uh George , I'm quite sure you meant to say a 57 Ranchero. If you are referring to a Revell. Now meanwhile , A M T did issue both the original and it's first Re-issue in the same art work using a Green /W scolloped 1960 El camino .

Now my Grail above all the stuff out there an money wern't an object , Uh a Monogram Futuresta by Daryl Starbird .......... Ed Shaver

[jbwelda]

i have to agree on the sizzler; been trying to score one for a reasonable price (i would gladly give 100 for one in a good box but yeah like good luck with that!) for a couple years now and havent even come close. i love that out-size hemi in there.
