Chuck Most Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 gotta agree with reissuing this though...drop the drippy decals and do a desert version. jb Yeah- the decals were a horror show. The result of residual polyester poisoning from the '70's, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr moto Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 One that I've been wanting is the AMT (actually tooled up by MPC) 1965 Dodge Coronet. Unlike the Polar Lights kit of that car, the body actually looks like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Would love to see a reissue of the MPC 68 Coronet R/T. We almost got one a few years ago. Me too. Better looking car than the '69. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicholiday Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I LOVE it if they'd do one of these again. '74, '75, '76. Any (or all) of those years would be just fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 If your going to make it a Firebird. Make it a '70, '71, or '72 Formula 400. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I could never afford that and with us being forced into having to file bankruptcy it will be quite awhile till I can get anything.

Since the late 90's it's also become a fashion accessory, to portray the adventurous to those who like the theme but in a concrete jungle setting. And then the French license plates on a iconic British vehicle, they fought wars for less there ;^) Anyway, that kit, if the tooling is still there needs a overhaul, better wheels and tires (option off and on road) a roll-bar extra doors for topless (no not that kind) driving and some neat off road accessories like a winch, tread plates and real looking gas cans.
