condition only matters if you have one Roland!
Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

Nice Gavin, I think that E box showing the blue Pontiac is quite hard to find.

...which is actually inappropriate, as this is not a model of a muscle car.

Muscle cars are small cars with big engines. The Grand Prix was the coupé version of the big Pontiac of the time.

Too many people mistake this model for a GTO!

Somebody seems to have held this model the wrong way round when the labels were applied:
