WTB: 1968 442 promo car or kit

Would like to purchase a 1968 442 promo. Color is not important, neither is the condition of the chrome. Cracked or missing vent window and/or windshield posts are not an issue. The key points are good bumpers, wheels and the hood. Items will be used to make molds for resin copies.
Does not have to be a promo either. A '68 442 kit would work just as well.

What kit size are you looking for. I have 1/8 I might loan for the project to get mine back + a car.

Good point. I'm searching for 1:25 or 1:24 scale. The old Johan promos/kits were 1:25.

Gerald love to see a pic of the 1/8 scale car with something in the pic as a reference to scale.

Correction: there WAS a company that sold them. The Modelhaus has closed up shop as the owners have decided to retire. One of their children is still making/selling tires and wheels, but Don and Carol are no longer producing resin.
SMH makes the entire transkit (body/hood/bumpers), but no one sells just the hood/bumpers.
