DanR Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Proof that sometimes in life you can get lucky. An incorrect search result about two weeks ago turned this kit up for a mere $12.99 + $5 shipping. I was sure I found an outdated page or that it was a mistake, but no. The seller apparently didn't know what he had. My apologies to my Facebook friends who may be seeing this as a duplicate post. I was so excited to find this. I sold so many of my Revell drag kits in the late 90's when I thought I might abandon the hobby. Reclaiming any of them at a bargain price is always cause for celebration!
futurattraction Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Congrats Dan! Great find and great price! Have you turned up any Carpenter decals yet? I saw you were looking for some on a different site...
kylexgore Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Nice score! I had also scored one that I have been after for a while. I scored the 1969 Pontiac GTO funny car for only 12.50. I have seen the kit go for much more than that price. Overall I am happy with the price I paid.
DanR Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 Scott, No luck on those Carpenter decals so far, but thanks for asking!
futurattraction Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I've got a set that I don't plan to use. If you want to send me your address I can drop them in the mail to you.
DanR Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) That would be great. I can send you a few bucks for them if you'd like! My address is: Dan Ricchezza 46 Portland Ave Redding, CT 06896 Thanks!! Edited March 6, 2012 by DanR
futurattraction Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Hey Dan, I've got a question for you. I don't have any envelopes that are the correct size to fit the entire decal sheet in, in one piece. Are you opposed to me carefully cutting the sheet so I can fit it in a regular business size envelope? Please let me know. Scott
DanR Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 Are you kidding? You're doing me the favor! As long as the sheet is complete, I'm cool with whatever method you use to send it. Thanks again, Scott. Now I can build this car without paying collector prices!
futurattraction Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 They're gonna be yours - so just wanted to check...
futurattraction Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Dan - I got your decals out in the mail today...
DanR Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 Scott, The decals arrived yesterday and they look great! Thanks so much for hooking me up with these. If you ever find yourself needing something, let me know. If I have it, and have no use for it, it's yours! - Dan
futurattraction Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Dan, Thanks for letting me know they got there. If I get in a bind looking for something, I'll get ahold of you... Scott
GoatGuy Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I just had to check my stash after seeing this. I have had that kit collecting dust along with the '55 Chevy Sportsman. If anyone is interested in some swapping, let me know. Maybe I should post this in the trade/swap section.
