This is technically not a "part" in my mind, but this is the closest category.

I've got a bunch of model kits that I've been trucking around the country every time I move, but, as much as I have fun building models, I haven't really had time to attack one in more than a decade. I'm checking to see if there's interest in them here before I put them on craigslist or a facebook yard sale page.

Like I said, there's a bunch of them. I'll post pics and make a list if there's interest. Right off the top of my head, I know there
s a Challenger TA, a 71 Cuda and a 69 Cuda fastback.

I may be interested, I was going to get one for my 6 year old but the local stores don't sell them here.....
what would you be asking for them?

Models have pretty much gone from being toys to being an expensive adult hobby, and most drug stores and department stores quite carrying them because of that. A cheap new model is around $30, which, for me, is crazy. Add to that, when I was building them, I'd add all sorts of aftermarket stuff, and the cost of a model would hit $50.

Looks like most of what I have is going for around $20 on ebay, so that's probably what I've after. Some of them are rare or odd that I'd probably continue to hang on to or ask more for, depending on what they are, but I'm guessing that's not what you'd get for you kid. Add to that the cheapest shipping I can find.

Yeah he doesn't need anything rare or odd. He has shown interest in 68-69 Chargers, 70-73 camaro's, and my "Cuda Camaro" as he calls it.
have anything like those?

My daughter might want one too and she loves the Chevelle that my coworker has 64-67 ish box style. Maybe we can make it a family thing.

I've got an unbuilt model of the Little Red Express truck if anyone has interest?  If not I may list it over on some truck sites.

I'll put a list together and post it here. I'd love to see kids actually enjoying these.

I also have a few still in the box .  . I think they are all barracudas . .
Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!

OK, I'm finally starting to unearth some of these. First up, a 69 Barracuda, which is free for anybody who wants to build it for OldSchool. No, I mean it  :D

BTW, I never noticed this before, but the model has the recall wheels.

That's an awesome offer!   :clapping:  If I had the time I would be all over it.
