    Great find and a wonderful car. I think there are 2 or 3 cars here Norway,and i know for sure one is not running. This and the 58 Cadillac Brougham is on my top 10 list of favorite american cars. Thanks for sharing the story and pictures.

    5000$ for a 56 Continental MKII That was a 10000$ car back when it was put on sale.

    Sweet car To bad it would cost around 270000$ over here to get plates on it.

    This is my first Arii kit,actually my first kit in 12 years. I will recive a 500SLC made by Esci later on for comparison. I`m not sure if i am the right guy to judge how good this kit is. I would say it is not bad,not quite up there as with Tamiya or Fujimi,but this got open engine room and doors. If i was to point out somthing i think it would be taillights and the engine isnt very detailed. I`ll try make some more pictures as i go on. There are a coupe of 1:12 c107 on here. Edit: I just found out this kit is adapted for electric motor,so the chassis and most of the tub i cant use *facepalm* I guess i now have to buy some styrene sheets,then try to adapt the w140 front & rear suspension to this one.

    Hello. This idea of making a private racer of the 450SLC popped into my head a while ago. I got the donor the other day so now i`m mostly searching parts and stuff for the build. The engine/drivetrain i`m not 100% about,but i was thinking about using the 6litre AMG v12 with ITB`s,and maby transmission and drivetrain from the SLS AMG,maby Fujimi. I also have some straight six engines,3,2litre and 3litre 24v wich would look good with ITB`s. The are some 32v and 16v v8 engines among the spare parts,but i cant decide yet. I just like the idea of a hight rev natural aspiratet v12 and manual transmission. The donor. Just silly fitting the engine donor in the engine room. Plan is to adapt flares and front spoiler form an old Monogram Porsche 924 Grp5 kit. Sorry about the quality on the pictures. Here is a bit of inspiration. I`m thinking a street legal car,not full race. Not sure about mpg in city with v12 Thanks for watching. Also comments are welcome,good or bad.

    It looks great. How is the aftermarked hobby carbon? Any brand you would recomend?
  7. om617
    Perfect color for the 68-70 Charger,looking sharp

    With decals and carbon fiber it might look cool. As a fanboy i would say you could never go wrong with a silver Mercedes Benz. Then again,i also think it would be a fresh breath of air to see someone go they`r own way with colors. What about white? As those old SSK race cars.

    Thanks. Yeah the model with shaker hood is quite common. Well,i guess i just have to keep looking. I did see some vintage kit on ebay,but i think it was collector item or somthing judging out of pricetag.

    Great model and car. It wiped the floor with the competition. This was great years of Le Mans,not this diesel BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH today.

    Hello. Is there made any resin kit`s for 70-73 Pontiac Trans Am,Formula,Esprit or Firebird ? I could be blind but it seem to be a rare model out there. Looking for the model with this bonnet/hood.

    You can buy engine & drivetrain of ebay but it is quite pricy,45-55$. I was considering getting for a hot-rod project.
