57-year-old 3 in 1 vintage Trophy Series edition. This kit has been inventoried and will ship complete , as new. Build a newer edition, save this one for posterity. Box and graphics remain crisp, square, and unblemished. Box is very minty as if fresh off the shelf. Tape residue on box top and bottom match. Decals are fresh and glossy. Most parts remain on sprues; loose ones have been bagged as have the tires. Nice age patina on chrome sprue. An immaculate kit. Please study photos and ask questions. I will combine for savings on multiple kit purchases. DO NOT pay first invoice but request a new invoice if you purchase more than one kit to receive discounted shipping. Please do not accumulate purchases more than 5 days. Add $4.00 for each additional kit to ship. Shipping to U.S. only. SOLD AS IS No Returns Historical Note: I built these kits as a kid in the early 60’s. I regularly see old boxes stuffed with newer contents on eBay presented as original. They are not. First, the original SMP/AMT issues never had bagged plastic parts. The sprues were just stacked inside the box and parts were prone to severing from the sprues during transit. Also, the plastic used at the time was much thicker and opaque, unlike the thin almost translucent plastic that has followed. Additionally, the new dies at that time produced model bodies with very finely formed emblems, moldings, and trim, which has been lost with re-use over the years. There was less flashing on the parts sprues as the newer dies conformed to original specs and held a tight fit during manufacture. Many of the original dies are still used having been repaired and modified for decades, but simply cannot match the fine detail of the original issues. To confirm a genuine original look for little things like original decals or matching tape marks on the box top and bottom because these older kits were not sealed in cellophane. Enjoy!
