I know a vendor who has a sealed one he's asking $100 for. Been sitting on it for several months now at that price. 

I'd expect this one to go on the far side of $65 on eBay, even molded in green. How far, I dunno. 

OTOH, I've got two builtups I got at the local toy show, and only paid about $15-$20 for them.

The green one will be a later one, so for an unbuilt one it will be at the lower end of the price range (though $65-75 wouldn't surprise me these days).  An early one, in white plastic, with decent decals, wire axles, and one-piece tires ought to cross over into three-digit territory.

I'm glad I got what I got when I got it...

Preach It, Brother Mark!

I haven't seen one of the Revell 1970 Sox & Martin kits lately, but I have heard of those selling for stupid money.  Of course, not having one, all of a sudden I've got one eye open looking for one...not that I "need" one...

I got lucky last year and snagged the Revell kit sealed for $35 shipped. Of course it didn’t stay sealed long ?

I bought one when they were new. Planning to use it and the best of the JoHan '71 parts to build a super '70.

Referring to the Johan Sox & Martin, I got the street machine version (exact same kit minus decals) for a better price and used the Slixx decal sheet which is superior.

$60 is a good starting point. Adjust up or down based upon condition and completeness...and the buyer's desperation. ?

[deuces wild]

Yeah, but it's green....?

[Mark]

That's why it would fall at the low end of the price scale versus other kits in similar condition.  

It ain't easy being green...

I would LOVE to come across a molded-in-green JoHan to add to my polished plastic collection, though the '71 Cuda PS wouldn't be my first choice. (The '66-'69 Rambler American might be, though.) 

[Mark]

It's an ugly (for a car) shade of green as I recall.  I have seen '64 Petty Plymouth kits in that green also.  I do remember them being solid and opaque with no swirling, which would be about the only redeeming factor.
