I just unboxed a Franklin mint model that I have searched for a long time trying to get it at the right price. This came to me brand new in the box with all documentation. At a great price of $130. The 1984 Pontiac, Grand Prix, driven by Richard Petty for his 200th win.

@geoff-jowett Geoff, I would have too. I always like this year of the Grand Prix.

thanks Bob, John. I've always felt the same about the Yat Ming presidential series. I'm sure they would have sold well too.@geoff-jowett I agree Geoff. A stock version would have been in my collection.

John, you would probably be aware of this kit? Revell 1/24 86 Monte Carlo. Very similar body design.@geoff-jowett Geoff, I would have too. I always like this year of the Grand Prix.

@geoff-jowett Geoff, I built a 80 Monte Carlo with a Motorcycle on a trailer, but have not seen this model.
