What ever it is, it looks like the photo was shot in California!  The plants and background look familiar.

I don't care much for the subject, but Juha's work is always top notch!

Yup other than the color and lower stripe pretty much the same, I had the stock taillights though. Even had the kamie (sp?) front spoiler.

Ebay score. Very happy. Simple kit, but the livery makes it special to me.

Mint!!

 

Any extra background info on the real car would be greatly appreciated!!

Sexy!  Don't care for the wheels however, particularly the copper finish.   Looks like a modern interpretation of the Ferrari P330.

Lovely cars, the De Tomaso as well as the Ferrari.

You win. I did not know there was a convertible version.

Well Phil, in now way my post was meant as competition (but to share). I feel lucky to have been present at these events and see these strangely wonderfull cars! 

My country doesn't come straight to mind when thinking about a place with some great auto culture, but it's there!

I had never seen an Alfa Romeo SZ in the flesh before yesterday. I did not have a chance to take a photo so this image is off the web. I assume this belongs to a local guy who has imported a number of cool looking Alfa sports cars that were never sold new in North America. These SZ's have a stubby tough look. If they were dogs they would be Bulldogs.

Well, in Holland we have this event called "Spettacolo Sportivo" and this is some of the stuff one gets to see...

I got it rather quickly.  The rims were the key.   I remember seeing them on a few cars and thought that was a good place to start.  I googled 3 lug rims and found the manufacturer and then did a search for Fiberglass Renault and bingo.  Michael seems to have a vast catalog of these weird cars to draw from.  I seem to have the best luck when I find a key recognizable feature  and go from there. Most of the time though I run into a dead end.  Nice one Michael!

Same here, but the search didn't lead me to the answer. So, I learned something! (again)

Just moved into a new house today - saw this outside:

This just down the street

this right near that:

And this on the road-trip here (our rental wasn’t fast enough to catch it ?)

Love the car and the plate. This is the rest of it: https://lateral-g.net/forgelines-1970-pro-touring-fn-camaro/

Thanks, but I figured that out yet. But the answer... ???

 

[Another old build: 1962 Chrysler 300V (V, as in VIPER!)]

Great build. I like the fact you used Chrysler/Dodge parts throughout the build.

This reminds me of Troy Trepaniers 1960 Chevy Probox. I liked that a lot back in the day and still do! 

Compliments!!!

Is that a baby seat in the back? Nice touch. The lucky kid!

 

[Autoquiz 487]

I'll wait. (I play the game every week and suggested this week's subject ?   )

[Round2 -- AMT & MPC Kits for 2021]

this is a good read on the matter as well: 

 

[Round2 -- AMT & MPC Kits for 2021]

Good to see this (these, hopefully).

As far as I know, the had some nice wheels and tires, so I looked for some. But the prices are sky high. Maybe this could change that.

"Black Force" and "Ramblur"somehow aren't in this overview.

I'd really like to see "Road Block" make a comeback.'

Anybody already know what it is? Like yes/no ...

And I already got an answer:

[Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 Eleanor - 1965 and 1966]

To add to the confusion:

On the Spotmodel website the referred to donor kits for the 'old' Eleanor are AMT 38492 and AMT 38509:

 and 

 

There is also this interesting YouTube item:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIguBdqc59A 

Check the first minute and you'll find out that the right donor is this:

The maker of this video states to ave contacted Misha (USCP), so that should be a reliable source (Misha, I dont't know the maker of this video).

I'll ask about it on FB.
