Here's a '61 on eBay for $99 !!! Wow ... I'd really like one (in Rangoon Red), but that's just a tad too much for me.

That 61 is a "Dealer Promo Model" - you will only find it in white or gold vacuum plate (the gold is VERY rare). It's based on the old AMT 1/25 scale model - they were sold fully assembled just like that though. I have one but it's kind of rough - using it to make a regular model from. I am not sure it's really worth a C note to a Promo collector but appears to be in well above average condition. I'd buy it at that if I had the $ at the moment though.
I have one of the Racing Champions Turq/White 65s still in the package - cost me abut $40 to own it about 5 years ago. I would like to get the rest of the colors too - they were a limited run of 9999 models.
