Sad part is, if you really want to build a more correct Mooneye's Dragster, you should use the Attempt 1 chassis and the AMT SBC setup.

There used to be a vintage restoration place down the street from me a few years back. Oddly, they closed down and now it is a Mustang Restoration shop! But anyways, they had a back lot full of projects for sale and one of them was a parts donor project. It was a GT350H that was a theft recovery. It was found at the bottom of a cliff after it had been dumped there back in the 60's! It was rather mangled, but, there where lots of parts and they where all real Shelby! Woud have made a real cool project to model! And then there are the 4 '66 Convertible GT350's! But, that is another story!

I really doubt they would sell. Large scale kits have a certain fan base and they are a picky lot. Not only that, kits that are considered way more market friendly, I.e. 1/16 Dragsters and Funny Cars, do not sell that well according to Revell. I really doubt the vans would sell all that well at all. I have most of them and I think they are really cool, but, then again, I was a kid when they first came out and they are a happy childhood memory for me. Would I buy them? Depends on which versions came out and I already have all the Revell 1/16 vans. I really doubt they would restore the MPC van back to its stock version given the last version was a 4x4. But then again, I could be wrong! Also, there are way more old kits that are desireable for re-issue than those large scale vans.

Very cool write up! Thanks!

Great trade with my80malibu! Thanks!!

The term "Barn Find" is so overused. How about "Pulled from Storage" or "I finally washed the car"?

The 70's where so cool! Nice save!

It is so quirky, its cool!

Very nice! I would not have guessed they where that old if you had just posted them up with no info!

Pretty cool looking stuff, but, for the price of just the blower setup for the 426 Hemi in 1/16, I could get a complete Mark Johnson engine in 1/16th! I guess I can wait for the prices to come down.

I can dig it!

The fun part about these movies is that they did not take themselves that seriously! Good, crazy fun! With Hot Rods! Way too serious! With Rice!

You can find something way nicer for 4K! But, if this floats your boat and you have money to burn, go for it!

Very classy!

Well, maybe there is nothing left. After all, it was Blown Up!

My all time favorite? That is not really possible to say, as I have not built them all yet. But so far, my 1/16 Tommy Ivo car. Resin parts, aftermarket decals and a finicky Revell kit. I must admit I am rather proud of this one.

Didn't the Testors Chevy Pick Up have one as well. since it was painted like Eddie Van Halens' real truck.

Very cool!

I would have to say the Slingster, AKA Sizzler, would be high on my list. All new tool of a vintage kit that has been on the want list of so many model builders and has tons of options! How many new kits can claim that?

Will they fit the new Revell Cuda?

I did not see a posting on this yet. Sorry if it is a dupe http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/racing/news/20131230/michael-schumacher-skiing-injury-doctors-update.ap/

Just a shame not too many kids today know what he and his family did. Gone to the Great Tune Up Masters in the sky! Vaya con dios!

very nice, Chuck! Who's body is that?

Buying it and then having the Model companies make a plastic one!

Just to make it clear. We are talking about store bought model kits and stock die cast cars. Not modified die cast or specialty resin or aftermarket kits. Capice!?
