Rob Hall Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Not much...may have to get the Pinto, have a couple years of MPC ones but no AMT ones. This one is stock only IIRC the previous discussion about it a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Stop, Snake - we'll all be yawning! At least the Plan 9 from Outer Space saucer has some of the funniest box art since the Used Cars promo kit.

stavanzer Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 That Pinto looks like a kit that will 'Fly' off the shelves. A forgettable 1977 Ford with one version and no optional parts, looks like a kit 'everybody' has been waiting for. Sorry Kats, this choice just bewilders me. You make this massive homerun with the '78 Dodge Longbed, and follow it a month later with THIS??????? It just does not compute. I know the Rep-Stock guys will want one, but after that, the market for this kit seems a bit, self-limiting. After viewing Chad's preview, all I'll need from that kit, is the decal sheet. Nice to see them going back to the well for the '53 Ford P/up and the Jeep. That Godzilla branding is genius. I am waiting for the Coke Branded '32 Ford Coupe and the Coke '69 Galaxie however. Not the same old kits in Coke Boxes. Round2 will get little of my money this month, I can tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Do I hear $99? Do I hear $89?... $79? ...$69 (That's not funny, sir!)? OK, $59? Say, is this an audience or an oil painting? $49?...

Jonathan Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I dunno. We give the guy some grief, but I'm kind of envious of his job. At least it's probably fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr mopar Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 The Pinto has no v-8 this time that sucks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 The Pinto would be more desirable if it were a couple of model years earlier before Ford had to put that ugly grill to blend in the 10 mph Bumper. I know a lot of guys have wondered if they would bring back the "55 Bel Air Convertible so that should do well. Kit reissues are almost an after thought since his main focus seems to be on the small Die Cast. stuff. Some due look interesting, but I well not be spending any of my allowance money on them.

I don't believe that the AMT Pinto had anything other than the stock OHC 4-banger ( and its unique-to-the-AMT-version C-4 transmission --- a rare and sought-after trans & bellhousing in the "1:1" world ! ) . Now , MPC's Pintos (and Mustang II) had an optional 351-C ; perhaps that's what you're thinking of ? Put me down for one of those '77 Pinto kits --- great to see it make its triumphant return ! I'll take one of those '53 F-100 kits , too . While I have multiples of that bad boy ( number one F-100 kit of the '53-'56 series , period ) , I'll get one just for that nifty soda vending machine and its dolly !

Hawk312 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 The big 55 kit got my attention! Anyone know if that builds up nicely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earlier AMT Pinto kits (through about '75) had an optional Boss 429 engine. Not exactly a realistic swap in 1:1 scale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June may have the Dyno Don Cyclone Eliminator II funny car, the garage lift and July the Autocar dump truck, '67 GTO w/ drag Christmas tree, and '63 Impala SS.
