I knew of the exisistance of this model.... now and than searching eBay for one, but never expected to pay that much.... With more than a day to go it has had a bid over $300: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ndexURL=3&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting
I passed up a 68 GTO promo for 125 bucks a few years back and I'm still kicking myself. That wagon would probably be a good investment, what do you buy with the money burning a hole in your car pocket when the car is finished? I'd like a full width rear mud flap with reflectors all over it and static strips dragging when mine is done.
My car actually had gnarled up curb feelers on it. You have to have them on both sides just in case you have to park on a one way street or you take the car to England. I saw one of those full width rear mud flaps (air brakes) on evilbay. I should have gone for it, it even had the starbursts with gold accents molded into it. That wagon promo is a lot of money, most of my real cars cost less back in the day. Car related stuff goes by no common sense rules, boys like their toys. I used to get promos when my grandfather would take me to dealers to check out cars when I was a kid. I just played with them and probably burned them or blew them up with M-80's like all my models, that's why they're worth so much now.
This might help. They carry curb feelers too! http://www.shrunkenheads.com/default.asp http://www.shrunkenheads.com/catalog/car_accessories/curbfeelers.asp
Well I hate to brake it to ya.....AMT/MPC never made a '73 Chevy wagon promo, only the two door Caprice. The wagon you see on Ebay, thats a Modelhaus cast resin model. http://www.modelhaus.com/index.php?c=4041&p=63793 I bought one, you have to build it, meaning painting, detailing the chrome, adding the wood grain sides..... Right now I am in the process of making a hand made factory correct roof rack for mine, since the kit did not come with one. Sure is a pretty looking wagon though you found. I want to make mine into the wagon that was used in the 1973 film "Dying Room Only"....that one was in gold. Once I get my wagon done, I put some pics up.... Jonny
