Winter time model building thread.
For the past couple of days I've been looking at the '70 Super Bee pro street chassis that homecloned spliced onto an A-body chassis and thinking I should do that with an upcoming '69 Dart build. So today I decided to take a drive to one of the few remaining hobby shops in the area.
They have a good assortment of older sealed models but they can be mighty proud of them. I found the '70 Super Bee pro street kit with a price of $45 on it and thought "no freakin' way" I'm paying that amount!
So I thought as long as I was there I'd poke around and see what else they had. I found a lot of older kits that took me back a lot of years but all with what I considered to be hefty price tags. More searching found a few more '70 Super Bee pro street kits with different price tags - all the same kit. Finally found one that was marked $25 so snagged it.
Hard to believe what some of the older kits are going for now.
They had some neat old Mopar and AMC kits but not for the prices they were asking.
I'd love to find an old MPC Charlie Allen Saddleback '69 Dart funny car kit. I saw one at a vendor at a car show about 5 years ago. He wanted over $100 for it. He can continue to keep it at that price as far as I'm concerned.
