Looking at Ebay the prices seem very low. http://www.ebay.com/bhp/monogram-green-hornet

There was an SSP reissue about 10 years ago. Says "Monogram Classics" instead of "Four Star Plastikit" and there is more artwork visible across the bottom of the box.

A 4-71 blower on an Olds engine.

Did I get it right?

[Ace-Garageguy]

Bing bing bing bing...I think we have a winner, folks !!

[Nitro Neil]

Cool, do I get to keep the engine?

[Brett Barrow]

If you want to get really specific it's the engine from Hollywood Hot Rods' recreation of the "Grasshopper", the 1:1 car that inspired Monogram's Green Hornet.

Ah, that explains Greg's interest in the Green Hornet kit on eBay...

The reissue has 2 piece plastic tires. They are similar in size to the originals but not in appearance.

Here's a few photos of a built model, done from the most recent release. I didn't build it, bought it this way at a show years ago!

And above is test fitting of other bodies on the Green Hornet chassis. I bought a few of these to do some neat conversions.

Gotta love the way that rear is just welded onto the chassis ends. That must be some heck of a ride!
