Probably worth around $25.  The only thing I didn't care for about that kit was that they used the Charger 500 body (flat rear window) and put the standard grille in it.  The current kit uses the F and F 70 Charger body with the correct recessed back window.

NOT QUITE!!!!!!!!!! That is the 1/25 scale car you are talking about. ANd it won't bring 25 bucks!

His car is a 1/16 scale car, I built this one from a built up. When I started looking for one to build, all the really nice ones (like yours) were over 100 bucks.

Between 75 and 125 seems to be the going rate on a sealed/open but still sealed inside car.

Here is mine.

You talking to me or to tommymac? I can tell you mine is part of  BIG Dukes Collection and Selling it would require more money than most would want to put into a built Model car.

I am occasionally open to custom building models for people. BUT the stuff I build for myself is a different story. I'll just say somebody would have to want one AWFULLY BAD!

My bad, I didn't notice yours was the larger 1/16th scale version.  Mine is the 1/25th and is an amt 1997 model (still in plastic wrapped box) Since i have a couple of the die cast Hot Wheel chargers I never felt the need to build the model kit.  Yours is probably worth a bit more than mine is.

I have been watching them for years on E Bay. Even have been outbid on a few. Yours is probably in the $75-$100 range. It is worth even more if you have the plastic still on the outside of the box.


Pettyfan sweet ass General you have there.  :thumbs: I have always wanted one of those professionally assembled. I can restore a car, but suck something awful at putting models together.

Thank you Muchly! I restored that one from a beat up builtup I got off Ebay! It was pretty rough. I had to replace a bunch of stuff. I just could NOT see paying 100 bucks for a car I was dying to build.

I have restored a bunch of old builtups. I reworked the suspension on the car, Reworked the interior and the chrome and windows were replaced with new parts. I got REAL lucky there. I also made an exhaust system and the shocks were made from R/C airplane turnbuckles.

The Decals are replacements from Bugsy's junkers. THey are MUCH more accurate than the original decals.

Overall I am pretty happy with the car. It was a BIG piece I wanted for my Dukes collection. Now I am searching for a Danbury mint General Lee but WOW those are EXPENSIVE!.

This is what It looked like when I got it.

Would sell it for 150.00 being its a rare 1/16 scale.
