I beg to argue with you about this point.
Case in point A, Porndy:
Monogram Porsche 904, slot car era curbside, meet Monogram Indy race car V8, really "historic" stored in the basement of the museum.


Case B, Mongrel:
Monogram Ferrari 275P, slot car era, meet Revell 360 Modena V8.


Case C, just plain scarce Ferraris:


Case D, Celilexus:
Believe it or not, the Toyota Celsior (Lexus in the US) is a rare kit, V8 and chassis pan slipped in.


Case E, AMT '72 pickup (converted to '69):
Heard rumors of a re-pop, should be very popular.


Current WIP is a long out of production kit of a rare subject, from a dead company. Also not a Chevy, but the Lamborghini Cheetah (not the LM002). So I am into wrecking the value of collectible kits that are going for stupid money on eBay.
