Found a 34 Ford Ragtop Early Iron Series.

[Mrdarkmonkey96]

found this in my father old room at my granparents house.

any information on the rarity or value of this kit (yes i know its in poor shape) would be appreciated.

Im not sure if i want to try and rebuild it, as the engine and frame (where most of the detail is, is already cemented down. Theres enough cement on all the pieces to glue down a small child, so i dont think theyre coming apart any time soon.

Not rare, worth $5.00 as is. The wheels are the best (only good?) parts of the kit IMHO.

I'll second that.

Not worth much, but what cool box art. This kit has been around since at least the 60's, and it is what it is worth to you. I have two of these kits I bought off line cause I remember building it in the 70's. FUN FUN!

Finish it and enjoy it as a cross generational build.

See if you can save it. It won't be reissued in that version, as it was later altered into the ZZ Top Eliminator (and changed yet again for a Thom Taylor-designed cabriolet). Try to get the Thom Taylor kit; it has a reworked chassis with the stock exhaust detail removed, and modern/traditional suspension. (The ZZ Top kit is a hack job, Monogram reworked the stock chassis parts just enough to get the finished model to look decent on the shelf.) I can't recall how much the lower body and fender unit are changed from the Early Iron issue. But you should be able to combine one of the newer kits with the good parts from your Early Iron kit to get a decent street rod.

I had the Coupe in Neon Green. I think it had the convertible parts too.

I have seen that Green hardtop listed a few times on that Evil Auction site

at not to terrible a price.
