The Cosma Ray...mint kit, sealed inside.  

Forgot to add that on my list as well.  Oh, and an original Make Shark

[catpack68]

I have these three in their original boxes. The California Vette is sealed?

[BlackSheep214]

There are so many I’d love to get again. Some have been re-issued.

I have yet found the ‘78 Dodge Off-Road Pickup Camper kit anywhere. I’m going to say this kit is rare nowadays.

Nice! 
 

I acquired the California Vette some few years back. I did build it 2 years ago. The Warlock and the Volare kits I really want to add to my stash!

I’ve got a few in my stash I think are hard to find nowadays and will post pics later.

[BlackSheep214]

Here are two I have in my stash I've been looking for for years. I was lucky to acquire them from a fellow modeler a few years back. Not sure how hard they are to find but in my eyes, these are gold to me.

The Highboy is unsealed but complete. The '57 Chevy Lowrider is still sealed in original shrink-wrap.

Firebird III Concept Car by Ardvark Models...

[bogger44]

This behemoth, easily the rarest I've got.  Got it in a trade with my Uncle back in the late 80's-early 90's.  I've never done anything with it.  Best I can tell it's complete, only with some sanding done to the body, and a section on the topside of the chassis with what appears is a test spray of paint.

[Scott Colmer]

I've got a few.

 

 

 

I have all 6 in the series. Here are a couple.

 

These actually show up pretty cheap. It would be fun to do the works on one.

This one is kind of elusive

 

 

I built one as a kid but havnt been able to snag one...

[NOBLNG]

I don’t think this is terribly rare, but the closest I have.

[redscampi]

Not sure it's really rare but prices are now nuts. I bought this several years ago when they were still reasonably priced. I'm afraid to build it now.

Nice! The Testors 356 is a re-box of the Fujimi kit and is just as hard to find.

I have a bunch, but since I mentioned this in another thread......
I first saw this in a catalog (remember those?), then never saw it again, anywhere.

On a fluke, saw it on eBay and won the bid.  Trouble is, it's missing the front suspension uprights, and the seats.  I can fabricate those.

This weekend I snatched up this Lexus, which is another scarce kit.  I want to cast a resin copy of the engine, which is what the Boyd car had.  Another someday project has a better chance.

I've been watching for one of those Sportstar kits for a while...what makes it harder is that Testors also put out a 'SportSTER' bike kit, and eBay thinks that's what you're looking for.  Nice idea casting the Lexus engine for it!

Blue Beetle, Little "T", and Little Deuce. All 3 kits are mint and unmolested.

Another Monogram kit you don't see too often...the Futurista.

I have the HOUSE version along with 2 of the cars. I want to try and build a car, glued together and painted, with my extra kit.

The Uncertain T...one of my favorite models from my youth, mint kit.

I have always loved the crazy style of this car. That and Leg Show. I want to find a Resin body, or maybe just design and print my own. Very unique car.

Mine is probably one of these.  The top two are both sealed.  Bottom one in the rough box is still on the trees, but missing the piece that mounts inside the body.  I’m on the hunt for that part, because it’s definitely getting built!

I might have a parts kit of one of those 1/32 monogram funny cars. Yours if you want it for parts. Just need to find it. Not sure if it is exact. 

[wrenchr]

Looks like it is missing the interior part.

Sam Garret's ride from the TV show The Hero starring Richard Mulligan circa 1966. Mint kit

[mikemodeler]

Here's a couple of old MPC kits. The Jeep was only issued the one time like this with the snow plow and off road equipment together. The Chevette was a one year only, I believe it was updated to a '79 which had a different grille and options.
