Up for auction is a vintage Monogram 1940 Ford Pickup Customizing Kit associated with legendary custom car builder Darryl Starbird. This 1/24 scale model kit is partially assembled and includes its original box, instruction sheets, and numerous parts, some on sprues and others loose. The kit shows signs of having been started, with visible glue residue on several white plastic components. Due to the number of loose parts, it is likely that some pieces are missing. The included decals are present but have yellowed and are cracked. The original box exhibits heavy staining, edge wear, and corner damage, while the instruction sheets are also yellowed and creased. A chrome parts sprue is included, appearing mostly intact, and clear plastic parts for windows are loose in the box with possible scratches. Please refer to the provided images for a detailed view of the condition. This model serves as a great parts kit for restoration enthusiasts or a collector's piece from a bygone era.

Shipping:


Pick up and buyer arranged shipping is always welcome. We offer in-house shipping for items that can ship through common carrier. All items will be professionally packed at a reasonable rate. If you paid for the item via Lodestar Auctions or Proxibid we will have your items packaged and send you a link to choose and pay for shipping on the Lodestar Auctions Website.

**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.


Issues:

All items sold as is. We do our best to describe accurately and take plenty of non-touched up photos to best represent the item. Any lost or damaged item due to shipping must go through the carriers. Buyer pays any return shipping costs regardless of situation.


Thanks for your patronage and happy bidding!
