Default Original Estes Saturn 1?

When I was a kid in the 60's I salivated over the Saturn 1 in the 1968 Estes catalog. It took 4 engines and was about 3 feet tall. And I believe it was listed at $9 in the catalog. NINE DOLLARS?? A fortune. It just as well had been $9000. I wonder what the chances are of glomming on to one of those kits unbuilt today? good luck on that I suppose.
