I wonder if the new plastic hybrids will have more resale value than these old classic models. http://www.gasolinealleyantiques.com/kits/kitcaramt.htm
That is a great site. I bought a 1970s issued USS HARTFORD model from them which is now in my living room.

If your an original issue collector, most of these kits have been reissued over the years. Most are still and with in means easy to get. The ones listed on that site, that have not been reissued, you can find an aftermarket company that sells a trans kit. Going these two routes could save you a bundle.
