I got one, actually forgot I had it. It has been in storage many years. The box has a couple of tears in it, and looks like mice chewed on one edge of the box, but other than that, it is like new. All parts inside the box are fine and still in the original plastic. Wonder if its worth selling, or just keep it in storage another 10 years?

Jason , is it the "Visible Hemi", the one with all the moving parts inside? Or just the basic engine kit?

I picked one up for my son several years ago to teach him about engines. Long out of production, eBay or swap meets was the only sources. IIRC I paid around $50 bucks or so for it not including shipping? Perhaps now it's probably worth a few bucks more if you can find them unbuilt.
VERY nice kit. Unlike the crappy Revell Visible V-8 version everything went together real smooth and everything works!

I sold a new un packed but opened Testors model on Ebay a year or so ago for $80. Listing ran a couple times or so before it sold.

Yes, Bill its the invisible one. All the parts inside the box are still in their plastic bags (bags have never been open). Its all complete, the box looks a little rough.

Thanks!

Like I said, I have had it for years, forgot I even had it.
