REVELL 1/16 CALIF CHARGER AA/FUEL DRAGSTER BOX ART STUDIO BUILTUP DISPLAY MODEL

Description: REVELL 1/16 CALIF CHARGER AA/FUEL DRAGSTER BOX ART STUDIO BUILTUP DISPLAY MODEL This listing is for a Revell factory built studio model made exclusively for box wrap photos. This is the ACTUAL 1/16 model shown on the printed kit boxes released in 2005 from Revell models, Northbrook, IL. Model is complete and in wonderful condition for age.This is a one-off pre-production model that was available as a combo kit and included parts to build a funny car model kit as well.The finish is automotive lacquer with clear coat and is in like new condition with only some slight light wear. Soft rubber tires are still in excellent supple condition and not dried out or cracked.The body has removable panels to show all chassis details. Graphics decals are crisp and bright with no fading.This model was also well traveled as a show display model as well.This model will be securely packed as I am well known for my safe packing (See my feedback). This is a rare opportunity to own a vintage studio box art model as there was only one made. It will be a true centerpiece for any serious historic drag racing model collection. PLEASE NOTE: It has been brought to my attention by a fellow Ebayer that the model has two different rear wheels. Ichecked this out and found the right side wheel with "Holes style" is correct for this model as shown on the box photos. The left side rear wheel has oval slots (Halibrand style). I have discovered that BOTH are correct for this dragster!It turns out the original dragster crew ran the car with the "holes style" rear wheel and it cracked under load from the raw horsepower of the blown hemi motor, so they changed to a slotted rear wheel as shown on the left side of this model. The buyer has a choice of replacing one of the rear wheels to show either an early version or a later version of the car. Intrestingly, on the real car, the rear wheel with the holes was only use once before the change to the slotted tires was made. All parts can be found right here on Ebay. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PLEASE NOTE: This Item will ship via UPS ground professionally boxed with full insurance for fast safe delivery.
