Richard Bartrop Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 A '71 Riviera? Yes please! I'm a big fan of the fuselage era Mopars, and there's something about the Mercury Marauder X-100 that I really like. If we want to talk about European cars with big American V-8s: The Jensen Interceptor is probably the best known Jensen model, and it's beautiful to boot. The Iso Grifo. Come on, just look at that face. Do you think we could talk Heller into doing a Facel Vega? Seeing how neither Round 2 or Moebius want to do new car kits, maybe the best hope for new muscle cars is to keep reminding Revell's new owners that there are still all these Americans who want to throw fistfulls of money at them?

1972coronet Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 The 1970 Swinger 340 could serve as the basis for a 2-in-1 kit ; the Canadian Swinger Special 340 of 1971-1972 ! Just put the 1971-1972 rear bumper / tail lamps setup in the 1970 kit -- the base interiors are shared between those years . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I like the styling of the mid '70s Iso Grifo, which had a Ford 351 Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty sharp looking, except for the model of the parking garage sitting on the hood. Lose that and we'll talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
