I think someone- maybe Jimmy Flintstone- casts this as a resin body. Yes?

Finally hearing we are getting a Hobby Lobby in my town and they stop carrying models.
Must be true; I read it on the Interwebs.

Are any besides the Revell street rod readily available?
As in: "At my local Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon?" No
As in: "At the next model car swap meet?" Betcha!

Oh really? Diorama builders would dig those subjects!
As a parts source or as cars?
Me; I don't hate what I call "thingie" show cars but they're not on my "gotta have it" list, either. Sometimes. like Greg said, they have very useful parts.

I don't know why they show the exhaust tube facing the front of the booth but it is designed so one can open a window and put it there. Also it comes with a fiberglass and activated charcoal filter. The exhaust tube can be stretched to 7 ft.
So it fits in the picture?

Try this site.I saw this on eBay.. Hope this helps. https://m.ebay.com/itm/1969-chevy-Camaro-Z28-SS-1-12-new-cowl-hood-hinges-induction-large-scale-model-/122938196602#vi__app-cvip-panel
I was going to say that it wouldn't be too difficult to fabricate a tall cowl-induction scoop and this hood (looks to be stock height) would make it even easier.

I've looked this auction over and over. Looks to me like a perfect storm. Buyer '1' (the second highest bidder) put in an absurdly high bid early on to assure he would win (I'm sure he didn't anticipate anyone bidding against him to go above, say $100-$150). Bidder '2' (the winner?) came in and sniped at the last minute with an even MORE absurdly high bid. The language from his computer desk would have been paint-peeling when he realized that he had 'won'. He's now on the hook for $2600 and change. I've been waiting to see this for years. That model will be back up at auction soon, because of non-paying bidders

That failure "simulation" looks NOTHING like what actually happened.
Compare it to the actual video. Wear your critical-thinking hats while doing so.
The thing did NOT bend in the middle as shown in the "simulation".
The FIRST failure WAS AT THE SPOT CLOSE TO THE CRANE.
It buckled at the TOP of the FIRST inverted V of the truss web, and subsequently bent / broke at the LOWER RH. END OF THE FIRST INVERTED V.
This so-called "simulation" places elements and failures in the wrong locations relative to each other.
I noticed that, too. The sim looks NOTHING like the actual video but, hey, let's not let facts interfere with whatever is the 'agenda of the day', right?

In 1967 the Malibu, SS-396, and Custom El Camino shared the same seats and door panels. The exception there is the SS-396 and Custom El Camino came with vinyl upholstery. The Malibus came with cloth. Except for the convertibles and wagons. Which came with vinyl, like the SS-396 and Custom El Camino.
I'm not so sure about the Malibus coming (only?) with cloth seats. My first car was a Malibu with a 250 six-cylinder and a powerglide; the interior was all vinyl. I remember doing the Armor All treatment to the interior and then trying to NOT slide across the bench when going around corners.

Aww! C'mon, Snake; you gotta share!

Why does he need a towel? I don't understand?
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Never leave home without your towel.

I like the display on Starman's GPS screen in the middle of the dash. It states, "DO'NT PANIC!." The Space X folks have a great sense of humor in my opinion.
I wonder if he knows where his towel is.

As usual, it was overcast here. Always seems to be when there's an astronomical event to be seen.

Great input, there! What looks terrible and, in your opinion, what would be better?
