Selling some one of a kind models - `81 Corvette "Alpha", Mustang GT 500, more...
Hi Everyone,
I am moving, and need to sell some of my toys. Unfortunately, I have to consider selling some of my prized builds. If you are interested let me know. Keep in mind, my last L88 build went for $1000, so please keep that in mind if making offers.
1. 1/8 scale 1981 Corvette "Alpha"
This car is very large, almost 2 feet long. I combined the `78 and `81 kits to build this, both of which are going for about $200 each on Ebay. To my knowledge, there are no other large scale models of this car. It is a replica of the very first car built at the Kentucky plant. $900
2. 1/8 scale 1985 Camaro Iroc
Another very large model, about 2 feet long. Pretty much a stock build with details added. asking $550 SOLD
Like the Alpha, this one would really pain me to sell. Featured in the book "International House of Plastic Volume II" (no idea on that title), it is a very detailed build of the newer kit from Revell. The white stripes are painted on and are not decals. asking $950
4. `66 Mustang GT Custom
This is a combination of a `66 Shelby and a 2011 GT500, inspired by "Elaeno" from Gone in 60 Seconds. This is definitely a one-of-a-kind. I won the premier Automotiveforums.com modeler of the year with a very similar build, and this was built to correct everything I wish I would have done on that model. $650
Also featured in the "Internet House of Plastic Volume II" book, it is pretty much a stock build with a good bit of detail added. asking $500
6. `91 Firebird Formula
I can almost guarantee none of you have one of these in your collection, and definitely not in yellow. I have a soft spot for 3rd gen F-bodies. $250 SOLD
Not exactly a twin, but close...
I did almost the identical build to replicate my 1980 frost beige coupe.
It was also two toned, but I used a lighter honey gold on the real car and the model.
I used to put the model in the back window at shows.
If you look close, there is also a Tyco slot car in the back window to replicate the "little car in the little car"...
I'd love to buy your model, as I foolishly left the model go with the car when I sold it...
I could only find these black and white pix...
they were taken for Vette Vues magazine in the early 80s and they had to have B&W.

Oh wow. That is a cool idea, with the car inside of the car inside of the car. Did you use the same kits I used? Is it 1/8 scale?
Thanks for sharing!
Steel bumpers are 68-72 early C3's with steel bumpers on front and back.

I had to look for a while, and I can`t believe this, but I only built one of these! I sold this one back in 2004.
It`s a `68 L88 from memory. I sold it to someone who had a real one just like it. It was the first one I ever sold.
Do the C2`s qualify as steel bumpers? That is what I am most known for:
