The point is, this can go on forever , a 283 with a 4" bore = 301, and let's not forget all the silly little small cube engines GM made later on. So if George says it's a 815, it's an 815, his call. After all modeling is certainly an endeavor of ones imagination.
Cato, Cato, Cato, did Don tell you what cam he was running? Did he tell you all about the extra porting he did on the intake system? Bore ? stroke ? Chill dude. It's a model car. 265,283,327,350, 400, how do you know?
This caught my eye, thought a little model car history was in order. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=18742
I don't see the "parts Pack chassis" always talked about,
No "parts Pack" stuff here. More "Urban Legend" Model "Myth".
Then again, the author did say " I'd like to imagine "
Just Google "Altered Bantam Coupe" : https://www.google.com/search?q=altered+bantam+coupe&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=-YeJUaXvFOXN0wH2voGQCQ&sqi=2&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=885
American Bantam Model 60
Altered
I'm really glad this is coming back albeit in 1/25th scale, I'm ok with that. I bought my first one when it was first released back in the early sixties.
I'd really like to know what's happened tho this kit over the years. I think we've all heard the rumor that it was cut up and used in other kits,i.e. the Hemi engines went to the S'Cool bus kit. I have both of these kits and I can tell you the engines don't match up.
The new advertizing says it's a 6 in 1 kit
Well, anyway, just happy to see it coming our way.
