Almost bought another '68 Charger...$25...but I regained my sanity in time....

   I visited a Craft/Hobby store yesterday with my daughter, saw this and had a moment....  Reason prevailed and I put the package back on the shelf. I may go back later....

My times have changed. I remember buying model kits back in the 80's for waaay under $10.  I imagine spray paint must cost a fortune too?

Haha, bought one of a 69 almost a year ago.

By god, not to build it, I still have my hands full with the 1/1 scale one, but just to add it to my collection.  Who knows, maybe one day when the real one finally gets close to done, I might build it...

My thoughts exactly. Maybe I'll salt it away in my office, on a shelf so I can see it every day. Someday I'd build it....

Just bought that model kit for $13, had a 60% off coupon from Michaels craft store. Nice 2 in one kit.

Just for laughs and giggles I checked Amazon. $20.90. Still thinking....

I built a Pinewood Derby car out of this kit, using the body.  Was pretty slick racing down the track!

When Monogram initially tooled up to produce the 68 grille, seats, and taillights, it was for a special Dick Landy kit. It only had the parts for his car. The body came as a the regular 69 and you had to fill the side marker lights and sand off the vinyl top.  I bought a normal 69 kit and used the stock parts to build the stock 68 Charger. It is nice they now sell that as a kit with the side markers deleted. But I did notice they still have some remnants of the vinyl top and trim at the bottom corner of the quarter glass. And you still get the 69 dash and console.
