How do you know for sure there aren't bricks in that box? Unless I was the first owner I would be skeptical. Anyone whose ever been around retail knows how a shrink wrap machine works. The seal could be manipulated too.

I suppose I'm a little paranoid.

Maybe someday his kid will be like "Gee thanks Dad, never know when I might need a brick or two"

Reggie started it! He actually found a "brick" in his sealed box. Actually more of a "box of used parts" but still....


Charlie don't surf wrote: I don't know that you could say "worth a ton", it's worth more sealed, but in an honest auction without a mark and a shill, it's a reasonable or decent price. Not knocking that kit, but it's not an early kit, and without it being open, there is no real way to know what's in there ( I bought a SNIB 6036 Graphite team car from ebay to find it re-wrapped and full of newspaper and parts )

If you want to build it and shelve it, then have a blast doing it :wink: I say open her up

Could it be an early Cadillac also?... The box for my Goldpan has the Edinger Address - but some of the internal paperwork (spares price list) has the Cadillac address.... & the spec of the chassis suggest cross-over car.

Got to be a good reason to open it up... right? :wink:

I've said this before but if you dont open it..... someone else will.

It might as well be you. :D

However in the case that it is filled with used parts or bricks you may want to just keep it nice and sealed.

Jugging from the sun fade on the box, I'd say that it's 100% the same kit, I would leave it intact, but if it were an earlier kit, I would open her up......."Will not ship to Canada" gets me every time :cry:
