It has a pretty nice blown hemi and supertrick wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I came across this little gem: And this seemingly polar opposite twin pack: The twin pack I found during a Google image search. I couldn't access the original image (PB is blocked at work) and the original page is supposedly a thread on this very messageboard but the link is broken. I would like to find out more information about this as the Chevy pickup looks to have different decals than any other issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin T Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I believe there is also a spark plug version of that VW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Sikora II Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) And this seemingly polar opposite twin pack: The twin pack was a K-Mart special...one of several different two packs made for K-Mart over a period of two or three years. The Chevy truck has the same basic decals as the Hot Rod issue, but they were printed in green rather than red. I don't think they were used in any other issues of the kit. The parts were molded in metallic green...the same color used for the Revell 1992 Grand Prix GTP and Monogram Callaway Corvette Speedster.

ChrisR Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I believe there is also a spark plug version of that VW. That is correct. It is the Champion Spark Plug version. I have this version, not the greatest kit but nice to have anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Colmer Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I hope this works. My fotki sharing options seem to have dropped off. http://public.fotki.com/Scottcolmer/the_kit_collection/my-most-holy-grail.html Well, the link works. Not sure where the forum sharing option went.

Russell C Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Neon Dudes? Excellent marketing. Or something. I have no idea what prompted me to get this. Might have been something given to me, instead. Most likely I blacked out the windows as an experiment for a slammer look. Says "Aston Martin" on the bottom of this one.

beeRS Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I picked this one up for just 4.99GBP (about $6-$7) in 1995 from Toys-R-Us. Never seen one since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I have that Escort kit in an AMT box. Which is weird as that style Escort was never sold in North America. The kit has both LHD and RHD dashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heinz74 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 i build that escort once ..molded in red from a Revell kit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 AMT and Revell both had XR-3 Escorts. I think the matchbox is the revell kit, but could be wrong. The AMT kit is a curbside with opening rear hatch - again, I could be wrong. The revell kit saw a number of boxes and incarnations including an EXP and a Turbo version.

jaydar Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 i didn't read this whole thread, but this is pretty interesting: i mean - "... torque reactive drive" somehow screams "rubber band" to me! thread here on HAMB http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=238665&page=4 Thanks for that memory. I had one. Great fun. Dog hated it. joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathgoblin Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'd like to find all 3 of these. Especially the Stratos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 What about those? I didn't realise, if they are posted here before - saw them a couple days ago on ebay: Nice too: And my favorite one. Did any one built this? I remember getting the Astro-Vette when it first came out, and canniblizing the chassis for a hot rod. Dare I ask what that one went for?

ToyLvr Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I found an unbuilt Cosma Ray kit a few years ago at a swap meet. It cost me drly, but it was on my "Holy Grail" list. Later on I found out that one of the resin casters had made a repop of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyLvr Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Although this one isn't a car kit, I thought y'all might find it interesting.... Edited August 31, 2013 by ToyLvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
