Check the Mail Order houses for this kit if you want one. It is around 11$ I would have hoped Okie that is the new owner of Johan's first name would have picked a better AMC/Rambler subject for his first offering like a Hornet, Gremlin or early Javelin. SC/Rambler kits are still available on ebay but the generic version Hobby shop and the pro/street ones are plentiful and the pro/street ones can be had for as little as 12$. Add a 6$ Fred Caddy set of decals which has both "A" & "B" Scheme decals and you have a nice model I boght 8 of them last year on ebay for parts. The Drag-On-Lady AMX's are still plentyfull at around 25$. Rebel Machines are in the 50-75$ range. Later Javelins are still plentyful too at around 25-35$ for a snap kit and 45-55$ for the pro/stock kit. It's the Mark Donahue/George Fulmer T/A Javelins that bring big bucks 75-100$.
