Anybody got a clue who made this

I was at a flee market and found this lil guy for a 1.50 . It has no markings . I think it's 1/32

It was missing the grill and bumpers http://images107.fotki.com/v70/photos/7/3079437/12549401/47404721347347-vi.jpg

Cool is it rare? I don't know much about this scale

I agree with Chris - definitely the AMT 1/43rd.

There were several in the series, and each one came with its own nifty clear plastic display case.

I wouldn't classify them as "rare" (IMHO), but you don't usually see too many of them because most Modelers are into 1/25 or 1/24 scale, and didn't usually hang on to them.

I still have some of them that I built as a kid back in the 70s. They were a popular item back then; more of a curiosity now.

They pop up now and then on eBay; here's an incomplete kit that combined with yours would make a whole one:

(I'd make him an offer of about 1/3 his price at the most! The last several ones sold went for $5-$10.

Thanks I posted a pic in under glass .

This one Is a bit of a rare one. It was last offered in the early 70's "Junior Collector Series"

I have one I built back then. Mine was molded in white.

I have the matching 48 Ford Coupe too.

Some were re-issued in 70-80 during the Matchbox take over years, and 6 of the 1969's were re-issued

in the early 90's.

The entire list is in a thread in Car kit reviews.

This thread took me on a trip down memory lane.

I dug into my stash and found some of my original AMT 1/43 models (see attached).

Note the plastic display cases, which were included in the kit.

Should have done this too.

Here are a FEW of mine:

I only show 8 in that Pic.

Notice the 36 in front of the 48!!

Yes that Neon Green one IS an AMX!!

Lot 2;
