Kids built plastic kits of planes, tanks, race cars, space ships, creatures from scary movies, you name it. Before baseball card collecting, Pokémon, and video games, model kit building was one of the most popular hobby activities. Car and airplane kits were the most popular, and among the car kits, muscle cars, as we know them today, were one of the most popular categories.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany owners of real muscle cars today were not old enough to buy them when the cars were new, of course. Yet kids of the 1960s and 1970s worshiped these cars to an extent completely foreign to kids today. If you couldn’t afford, or were too young to buy a muscle car back then, what could you do? For many, the next best thing was to buy, collect, and build muscle car kits from a variety of kit companies. Hundreds were made. Many of these kits have become collectible today, especially in original, unassembled form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough people still build kits today, there is a broad market for collectors of nostalgic model kits. People love the kits for the great box art, to rekindle fond memories of building them 40 years ago, or even as a companion to the full-scale cars they own today. Here, world-leading authority Tim Boyd takes you through the entire era of muscle car kits, covering the options, collectability, variety availability, and value of these wonderful kits today. Boyd also takes you through the differences between the original kits, the older reproduction kits, and the new reproduction kits that many people find at swap meets today. If you are looking to build a collection of muscle car kits, interested in getting the kits of your favorite manufacturer or even just of the cars you have owned, this book will be a valuable resource in your model kit search.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull Publication Title: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003eCollecting Muscle Car Model Kits\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"commerce-product-field commerce-product-field-field-specifications field-field-specifications node-488479-product-field-specifications\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-collection-container clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-specifications field-type-field-collection field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"question\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBoyd, Tim\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item odd\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"question\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e9781613253953\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"question\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePaperback\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item odd\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"question\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMay 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"question\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e176\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item odd\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"question\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Illustrations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eYes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"question\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIllustration Types:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\nBlack \u0026amp; White Images, Full Color Images\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item odd\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specification\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"question\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSold As Each\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"S-A Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40195551461543,"sku":"EZO4JSFJB","price":53.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0485\/2793\/3607\/files\/SADCT624.jpg?v=1724067930","url":"https:\/\/fastcatalog.com\/products\/collecting-muscle-car","provider":"Fast Catalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
