chevyfever2009 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Heres most of what ive picked up over the last few months. Everything in the 2nd pic on the top shelf is part of it minus the 4runner, areomax, JD 310, & the lafrance firetruck. Also Got about 3 boxes of stuff from trades that was still boxed at the moment. Thanks for looking Mike http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v476/stang_crazy/IMG_20140713_2119061_zps4623fafa.jpg I need one those car haulers
moparfarmer Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Luc Janssens,,did you get the June issue of Hemmings Muscle Machine..My Road Runner coupe was featured in it..I sold it and I was the fussy Canadian owner who had it..Sure miss that car...
CJ1971 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Is the Lamborghini curbside? It's same as coupe... Semi-curbside. Has the engine/exhaust etc... But a 1 piece tranny that goes into/onto the chassis.
Project510 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 This came in the mail today.. Totally forgot I even bought it. It took almost 3 months to get here and I would have never noticed if I didnt get it. Pretty cool surprise haha
Scuderia Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Rob I envy you having the Revell Civic.. I fear I may not get one without shelling out much much more than i'd like. As for me this is my new addition
The70judgeman Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Got a couple more scores from ebay this week. Both arrived today. First is the Johan '60 Desoto Adventurer. It was open with loose pieces, but the seller did an outstanding job containing all the parts in zip lock bags and wrapping the body. Second, is one I've been looking for for a long time...a '69 Pontiac Grand Prix promo. Pretty much stole it too. It is damaged though...a broken out A-pillar and roof corner, but it looks pretty straight forward to fabricate and fix.

ZTony8 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Well,it was last Saturday but I bought a Revell Sox and Martin 'Cuda,the Revell Mustang LX drag car,a Tamiya Spriner Trueno,and an Aoshima Datsun low rider pickup.How's that for an eclectic mix?
Deathgoblin Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Got in a lot of six mustangs from Ebay. Two were early Fox bodies, one marked Super Cobra in yellow and the other was the Indy Pace Car in silver. Both are pretty complete, but I'm missing a wheel on the silver one. Two were 71-74 Mustangs, one a stock Mach 1 and the other was a short track racer with slicks and a roll cage. The stock one's got steelies and dog dish caps. There was also a 70 mustang that I'll probably use for parts, and a Lindberg 70something inaccurate thing that I'm just gonna chuck.
The70judgeman Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Thanks Mark & Carl. Thinking after I blow the GP apart I'll dig out my AMT '70 Monte Carlo out and see if the chassis fits. If so, I'll definitely open the hood, add an engine, and build a full detail model.
tbill Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) yesterdays score, hit michaels craft store with a 25% off entire purchase coupon, low and behold, all these kits were on sale for cheap, vette kits were $6 each, super birds were $10 each and the others were $8 and $9 each, then toss on the 25% off and by golly we got a bargain also hit hobby lobby and got a buick gsx and a 50 olds on clearance....

Mark72JPS Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Tamiya Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 edition and Tamiya Mercedes-Benz 500SEC Lorinser.
ianguilly Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 So excited 3 kits came in today. These will go into my collection and never get built (maybe) been chasing a 1972 charger for awhile. All are unbuilt and all pieces are accounted for.
ChrisBcritter Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Just got back from an estate sale in Highland Park; lots of boxed kits are going cheap - got another AMT '62 Bel Air and a '62 Catalina, as well as a 1/32 Chevy Malibu Mount Prospect police car, all sealed, plus a large folding magnifier and a few household goods for $15.00 total. The Chevy will donate its roof to my '61 Bonneville, and the Catalina's stock grille and bumper will go into the pre-painted custom version, then I'm thinking of stuffing the drivetrain into my '40 Mercury convertible. For any Chicago NW suburbanites interested, it's at 205 Ivy Lane in Highland Park: http://www.estatesales.net/estate-sales/IL/Highland-Park/60035/662610 The 1/43 and 1/32 builtups in the photos are gone but the two Mini Lindy Vettes, a lot of the kits, and a whole lot of diecasts are still there. Happy hunting! Edited July 19, 2014 by ChrisBcritter

Great prices I whish hobby lobby would have had some superbird kits on their clearance...

martinfan5 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 This is just out of curiosity but why buy a kit you never plan to build? Collecting vs building, yeah, I dont get it either, its just a box full of pieces, and the modeler with the biggest stash at the end wins I guess
ianguilly Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) This is just out of curiosity but why buy a kit you never plan to build?I collect mopar memorabilia, so vintage models are right down my alley. Edited July 19, 2014 by ianguilly
Russell C Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Franklin Mint 24th scale Checker Cab, usually pricey on ebay, but this one is missing its box, the luggage, 3 door handles and a few other bits, so it was not a half bad purchase for $29.99 & free shipping. I have a future potential project in mind, an ambitious non-stock custom perhaps, but I'll drive off that bridge when I get to it. Tack on a few reasonably realistic replacement parts on it, and I have a nice addition to the four other different scale cheaply bought diecast Checkers I have. Edited July 19, 2014 by Russell C
Kit Basher Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 An ALPS printer for 5 bucks at a yard sale. Now I just have to drop a couple hundred for cartridges and paper and I can make some really cool decals!
om617 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Got this today. It`s not painted and the chrome is very nice,not even glue on the windsheild. It does however have a damage to the front fender,but it`s easy fix with superglue. Also it is missing one rear tailight. This was intended for the 63 Holiday convertion but i think it`s so nice i might keep it as Starfire convertible. Edited July 19, 2014 by om617
