For everybody out there with $400 burning a hole in their wallet, here's your chance to own an IMRA Eagle.

For that price, the white metal parts better be made of platinum, especially when you consider that this is a 1/43 scale model we're talking about.

To those interested on the Indycar site in buying a 1/43 75 Eagle, Formula Models is working on theirs. It is somewhat overdue for release, but when it does get released a built one will be about half the cost of the IMRA listed on ebay. A kit should run for about a quarter of the cost.

I hope everyone realizes that I'm not the seller. I just found it this morning and thought I'd point it out. Sarcasm aside, I do realize this kit is probably super rare and highly collectible. You just won't find me shelling over my hard earned cash for it.

I guess the seller had second thoughts about his price. He's lowered the opening bid to $349. It'll be interesting to see if it sells.

$350-400 is not an unreasonable price for this kit. I purchased mine about 15 years ago for $300. It has been refered to as the 'Holy Grail' of 1/43 Indy cars. It is highly detailed and rivals any current 1/43 Indy car on market currently. If you look at a Feeling 43 kit or Superior it is of similar quality. Even current 1/43 Formula kits are selling for $110. I'm not the seller either but if you are collector/builder of 1/43 Indy cars your collection is not complete unless you have IMRA Eagle.

I have a lot of casting from these kits. My dad manufactured them back in the day. I have a few kits also.      Victor
