I'm preparing for a move later this spring, and I have a number of 1/24 scale kits that won't be making the trek with me. Hopefully they can find a new home instead of a landfill.

A few of the kits are complete or mostly complete, but for most of them I only got as far as (poorly) painting the bodies, and making some questionable color choices in the process. Because the 20+ years that I have had most of these have not been kind, a few of the bodies have some damage, though not irreparably so, and some parts may have gone AWOL.

The models are:

Testors

73 Porshce 911 Carrera

85 911 Turbo (damage to passenger a&b pillars)

911 Carrera cabrio (damage to windshield header)

Ferrari 288 GTO (missing 3 wheels)

Volvo 760 turbo

Mazda RX7 (FC)

BMW M235i (converted to a targa with Supra wheels?)

Mercedes 190E

DeTomaso Pantera

Nissan 300ZX (z31)

1/20 Lambo Countach LP500S

Tamaya:

Porsche 959

Mazda Miata

Revell:

Zender VW Corrado Cabrio (windshield frame tweaked)

Mercedes 300SL (r129)

Toyota MR2 (first gen)

87 Ford T-Bird Turbo

86 Chevy Monte Carlo SS

Buick Grand National

Pontiac Grand Prix SE

Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo

The price is whatever it costs to ship to you from Chicago. Because there might be some commingling of parts for one model in the box of another, I'd prefer to give them all as a whole.

Do you have pics of all the 911s? I'd love a model of one or two!

I'm guessing about 20lbs? It would be a pretty big box or multiple boxes due to the size of the Testors boxes.

I can probably post one up later, but again, because I can't say for certain all the parts in a given box belong to that particular model, I'd rather not split up the group.

AW11? AW11! Got any pictures of that one? I'm calling dibs if nobody already has, assuming you end up splitting. Sounds like you won't, but just in case...

Also, have you checked the values of the Tamiyas? I know that some are ridiculously expensive.
