I found this one on ebay and finally won it, I have many, many 56 and 57 T-Birds, but I never seemed to be able to get the Holy Grail original kit, then finally when somebody was sleeping at the switch, I GOT IT! I love the old box art, I even have a group at yahoogroups by the same name, boxartmania@yahoogroups.com, for people who love the old vintage box art. The complete car with wire wheels, in virgin plastic, it even had the original AMT putty and interior sheet. An original decal sheet, what a find, when I was bidding on it I thought it was just for the box, imagine my thrill when I got it and opened the box to find a complete kit. Perfect chrome, and the glass was separately wrapped and is perfect, no tire marks on glass. Original 10 page instruction booklet, this is a collectors item by itself. I don't know if I am going to bui.ld it or not, it's priceless to a collector like me. nathan

Man that is really mint!! I rarely buy kits that mint because I like to build them. I would almost get a junker and restore it and keep the mint one. I have a couple "holy grail" kits myself and don't want to build them, but then they stare at me and say Build me!!! Build me!!! I haven't caved yet. Stay strong!!!
