One mans ebay toss aways anothers hidden treasures!

[MsDano85gt]

Recently I had gotten a junk lot of models from e-bay mostly because it for sure had the revell mustang II kit the "monroe handler" kit in it! I won it and that car was mostly complete. Score 1. Long story shOrtened a little bit, I Already had one of those kits but it was a 80's reissue under the hotrod series as the cobra racEr, I knew what it really was tho cause of the body kit and rear taillight valence -I have a pic of the real monroe handler in one of my many mustang books. Last week -I won another "junk" lot of 2 of those cobra monroes complete with decal sheets and parts still sealed up in plastic (chrome trees) 2 boxes, long story short even tho someone had robbed one body and puttied the ###### out of the 2nd, now that I've got the putty off I'm going to have the means to make 3 mustang 2's 1 possible king cobra style, 2 monroe handler stlye 1 in yellow, 1 in white (one will have A opening liftgate). So psyched about this

Nice score! Ive gotten a few unobtainium things in junkyards. Sometimes the Revell parts packs show up in strange places!

That's one of my most favorite car kits! I am curently building a yellow Monroe Handler just like the box art but I've made several upgrades including real machined Centerline wheels including the spare in the hatchback area. You can see the pics here:

I got a Monroe Handler sealed kit for $10 at a vendor table. #1 I couldn't believe that's all he wanted for it. #2 I couldn't believe it had been there all day before I found it.

Ben, I remember that build. Super work. Don't forget us when you're done.
