Don't matter
Yes I know there all fun . But I'm talking about builds with low detail easy kits etc. Also builds I did take a lot of pictures along the way.

Very nice builds. I have all of mine stored here . One of those case fell off the wall so they have to be fixed up. I just threw all the parts in one box in a hurry and they have been sitting like that for years .

The unbuilt kits are stacked in a room in boxes. I started collecting Tonka's and others and lost interest. I tried selling them on the site years back but the sale ad was removed. I pictured them all as seen and didn't add individual prices.

So now The grand kids will get them as soon as they are old enough to use glue. That will probably be a real mess but fun to see their talent.

I would consider letting some leave in the future but don't ask me what they are worth I have no clue that is why they are still here. Most I opened looked in and closed them up some are still sealed. None of the built models have boxes.

I see some valuable ones in the lot. I also see some i want to build. I love your display cases . I'm not in the market for any new kits right now . As I quit smoking 2 years ago. I use the money I save each month from not smoking to by kits and supplies. Next month is supplies month. I've already bought my kits for this month. Really cool stash tho. I'm sure your grandkids will have a ball
 
Oldmanmopar, all I can say is "Wow!" :eek: Nice collection. :thumbsup: I see several I wouldn't mind having but have more now than I will probably ever finish. :(
 
Some rare kits I remember I have are
1/25 scale
1970 RR
1970 RR conv
1970 swinger
1968 charger R/T
1968 Coronet R/T
1968 Coronet R/T conv
1971 Charger R/T
1972 Charger Rally
1972 RR
1968 GTX
1968 superbee

These are all 60's and 70's kits. I use to drive my by bicycle to buy models when I got paid for my Paper route. They were $150 at the most at a Store called Coplay discount. The hobby shop was near also but they were more expensive.

I know there are more I am for getting
I may take some to Carlisle this year to sell .
 
Wholy smoke, some real treasures in there, love to have that Demon kit, have aftermarket set of decals for it , but never could find a kit. Quite a stash, no, megastash.

I would be happy with just the rebuilders . You see the blue Hawaii charger with the decals faded and cracked the way they are I would add some rust and dust and make a barn find. Then the little red express. The superbird I would make a prostreet bird using a prostreet coronet with the frame. The list go's on.thats just a few ideals
 
There are more These were pictures I took for a sale ad I had. Nobody ever bought any the ad was taken down many years ago

I sent you a PM that you didn't respond to, on that add, and made what I thought was a pretty fair offer. I recall you eventually said you planned to burn them all
 
Be careful about storing them with the tires in contact with the body or windshields.

I've had a few that leached solvent over time and basically ruined what they were touching.
 
I don't remember your fair offer. I do remember some low ball package offers for some of the rarest combined from some. This is not a for sale ad . I just thought the poster may want a donation for his hobby. He answered that.
 
Things I also do for fun . After building so many mopars your brain cannot take it. My son is using the shop until he moves . I was restoring old lawn tractors and still have a large collection of some. But then I started collecting orange 1/64 scale cars. Now Its orange and red 1/16 scale vintage steel toys. Then My son started collecting with me .

We have 100's of them. I could never picture them all. restoring them all is the goal. Some are worth thousands. The red roll back/ramp hoist is valued at $1500+ . The orange Hy-way series are very hard to buy. Big Mike's dump $2000 I have four. None of the collection is for sale and I still buy if the price is right.

If anyone is interested in any models I will list them . This is not my thread and not a sale thread by me but I can start one. Thyis is a thread of what people do to pass there time until they Die. I have more then Mopar parts . I have a lot of old slot cars also here from a hobby shop I bought. And a very large barbie collection from 1959 on.

Yeah I had to include the wife to keep her happy.

That little green tractor Above we built was clocked at over 60 mph. Won every race we entered.
