Thats the 2 version of that kit .I have the original one somewhere

[Aero426]

That kit was issued in 1987.   It is a remake of the MPC 1971 Road Runner kit with different box art.  You could build it stock or with the included Superbird parts.    It builds up pretty nice.

Thanks! Sadly the person selling it wants $130 or I might have picked it up....

  i did mine in a medium mettallic blue, and did a bright red around the bottom, kinda Petty style. came out really nice, I wonder where are all my models today... 
let this be a lesson to you kids, don't give them away, or blow them up.

wish them luck with that,
It's worth about $30 , maybe

It's an MPC mold , probably be back out sonner or later, they don't throw many molds away

[Aero426]

This is the original box art for the 1971 issued version.   They also did a GTX version too back then with the aero parts.

Like Bill said, the 1987 reissue should be about $30.   The original issues should be closer to $100 for a mint kit.

that 87 kit is on EBAY with a starting bid of 7.00  so id say 130.00 is a tad high

He's on drugs, you can get them at Model shows in the 20-40 dollar range, about 3 yrs ago i picked up one sealed inside for a smooth 5 bucks, and NO I don't wanna get rid of it!!!  Sorry.

Here are all three versions of the 71 Road Runner MPC kits.    The GTX is also an original issue.

they must have made a ton of those you see them every where

In the late 70's the Avon Daytona was one of the few wing car collectibles you could buy.  At one point in the 80's they brought good money, but I believe that time has now passed.
