Starting a topic with MPC promo mopars..
Show a pic of what you have! :ohyeah:
That is super cool!!! Local the billboards.
73 Cuda
I bought these brand new in 1992,1993,1994 and 1995....They have just been sitting on my shelf here in my office. I think I have some older E Bodies, but they would be packed away somewhere with my model kits....who knows ? I never had anything really valuable....
I have a complete set of Challengers. 1970-1973. There was no 74 for some reason, even though MPC did release an annual kit of a 74 Challenger.
The first one I got, was my '70. I traded someone a bunch of promos I got as a kid in the early to mid 70s for it. He probably got the best of the deal! Amazingly, I was able to buy a box for it on ebay, in the right color even! And then later on ebay, I bought a set of the decals to make my '70 promo complete.
The 71 is B7 blue, the 72 is Petty "corporate" blue, and the '73 is yellow.
I bought the Pheonix and the Turbine car at swap meets last year. They aren't MPC, they are JoHann. The '74 Charger is one I got when I was a kid, and didn't let the guy I traded for the '70 Challenger know I had it, or he would have demanded it as part of the deal too!
Nice collection! you were lucky to find a correct box and decal kit!
Here is a few more.. my most recent buy was the fc7 70 challenger all complete with box and decals..
The yellow 71 Hemicuda i had is now sold but im trying to find another one..
Every single one for every US car company..... most never been opened.

No, this as noted was the Detroit Historical Societies private collection. They are thinking about doing a showing of them here in the future though.
That would be a fantastic collection obviously.
Found this ad this morning, not sure if the $450 is for one or both, but that's CDN dollars....
Not a lot of info in the ad, but might be a good way to start a collection ? :dunno:

Those are nice. I don't follow them but I think those prices are inline?
