Casey Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Nice retro box art in the 1969 annual style. Are the Firestone Wide Oval tires new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Wow, great box! Here's another one I might have to have just for the box. Those Round 2 devils! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr mopar Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Yes Casey the wide ovals are new , I guess i'll have to get this one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Sikora II Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 AMT's 1969 annual box style is one of my favorites. Will have to add one of these to my collection..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socal76 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Daddyfink, that kit version pic you posted is from when AMT ran some Johan tools. I have the "Right On" Maverick Pro Stock they did the same with. I have also heard that AMT's 1967 Toronado was also a Johan, but I have never seen the Johan to compare.

socal76 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Don, I like that '69 boxart too, but I also like the '67 boxart, just not those narrow boxes! Edited February 13, 2018 by socal76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Sikora II Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Also a fan of AMT's 1967 style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 That’s a great model. First time we’ve seen any Firestone pad printed tires from R2? Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point..the other PP white letter tires of this era they've done were Goodyear Polyglas. Maybe they will do a parts pack w/ these.

espo Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 This was another great AMT model. I'll get at least one and probably two. The addition of the printed "Hot Rocks" (Firestone Tires) will be a big plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I'm likin' the tires that come with the kit, but I'm not buying another kit just to have those tires "on hand." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james460 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I think they sell the tires separate from the kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they will eventually offer these tires in a Parts Pack like they the did w/ the Goodyear Polyglas tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upcoming reissue is the late 80s MPC tool, been reissued as an AMT many times. The funny car kit pictured above was an AMT rebox of a Jo-han tool, however.

It was originally released under the MPC label after the "unification" but it was done by the same team that did AMT's '66 Nova. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boss 302 mustang Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I was asking myself how they could run the Jo-Han tool anyway as it would not have worked in their molding machines. Forgot that MPC did issue one at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After people buy the kits with them... I looked at the 66 Fairlane today, which has the same (I think) tires, but didn’t want to spend $23 just for the tires...

niteowl7710 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I'd consider getting this just for the fresh decals (and alright maybe tires) and then selling off my old 199x AMT/Ertl boxing that I searched high and low for about 3 years ago to find it at something that wasn't the cost of my monthly electric bill.
