There is also someone who's doing a early '70s Pontiac GTO and when I see his files of the underbody, it's like being back at GM checking out all the details of a new model......can't believe it's more that 10 years since they shut the door for us.

Not the MPC Ford Van, which is a 4x4 or better……the tool can be ran as one, it also had a side opening door with glas, so it can show off a workshop (which isn’t in the kit) and also IMHO, a van is a much better canvas for art work, therefore my choice, but it kinda depends on having a usable trailer for two bikes.

one of the dirtbikes has been re-released in the past by Round2 Personally I would like to see them releasing like a dirt bike racing team set, featuring the two bikes, the MPC 4x4 Ford van as a mobile repair and towing vehicle, and a trailer to put the bikes on, only one problem I don't think they have a trailer in their backcatalog so.......nice to dream

It's all about the money.

If you look closely at the pictures, you will see that they are separate.

IIRC All American Models ( Art Anderson) did a resin one back in the day.

So, maybe from a marketing standpoint it would've been better to leave off the model year? Thoughts please! Cheers

Well this is Round2, and they have a pretty good track record in investing in new footwear....

Not available yet, but probably soon.

Hoping for GMUD code Z71, a GMC Grille and maybe a club cab too (tho have an extra)

If Ertl at the time had it in it's lineup, I'm quite convinced, that the numbers would've been pretty darn good, and if Revell didn't wipe out their Caprice, retooling for the Impala, but instead planned to have both a Caprice (tho facelifted) and Impala version from the same tool, the picture would've been complete. If only they had a crystal ball back then But did my part, writing to both to Ertl and Revell Monogram back in the '90s!

Want one!

Two different markets, specific for the N/A market almost always came and or come with an engine. I've read Steve G.'s comments why the no power plant, maybe this kit will be a game changer.... who knows what's heading our way in the future.

Kinda the same thing the slot guys do, take the body components and sell the guts

You can always sell the kit on feebay

hmm, yes could be it.

Odd....one of the Japanese hobby vendors as well as a German vendor listed the '70 Torino Cobra, yet no mention on the Stevens site.

Sure looks nice, hope it sell like hot cakes for them.

Pet peeve of mine too Steve M., I'm very glad the Kats at Round2 also see that it lifts a kit up a few notches, from toy to scale model, one of the reasons as a kid I liked Monogram better. Keep up the great work Steve G.

Interesting, this pic means that the original tooling went MIA, do hope this kit too dumps some of the promo heritage of the original releases, thus comes with upgrades like clear headlamps, etc.... Following.

Hpiguys did one...

I didn't look into it, just took for real what he posted. Anyway wrong interior or not, it's still a very nice build. Anyway looking forward to Round-2s re-pop with correct interior and rally I and II wheels!

Probably why it always has been labelled as a Street Machine. Anyway just saw a build by Scott Liggett, he used an original '68 MPC body, interior and the guts from a Mpc 69'Olds 442, it's beautifull, please see link for more.... Photo courtesy of Scott Liggett. I finished my black '68 GTO. This is an annual body and interior with the ertl '69 442 chassis underneath it. ............... *PICS* ........ (spotlighthobbies.com)

Well the modeling bug finally bit me again, was fiddling with a couple of Revell 29-30 Ford's, which are more or less ready for paint, but first wanted to test what's left of my painting competence/ incompetence , so pulled this old Monogram kit to oil these rusty skills, it's in primer now, chassis ready for some detail paint, color coat next time I visit my parrents. (Acces to spray booth there)

You guys are lucky to have those 40% off deals, here sadly Round2 car kits hover in the high 30s up to 50 bucks. the Transtar truck sell here just shy of a Benjamin Franklin so very picky to what I buy.
