Yes, but Kurt is bidding on it. :-)
Unless it is going for a rediculously low price, I think I better let others bid on
them for a while. I now have a few of these. I am going to use some of these
garage doors in one of my new buildings, as well as build a Super Shell station
with 3 or 4 of these rare garage doors.
Speaking of 325, I found out that in the UK some of these 325 sets have a garage
door that is all yellow (no clear panels). I have not seen these before, but if
they exist, I would think that they would be really collectible. Right now I only
have the old fliptop doors in red, white and yellow/clear (from the 325 set). The
red ones are by far the most common.
