Yes. not that hard.

just found these pics

Was just wondering .

give em a call

This all metal kit really intrigues me. However, at close to $400 it ain't gonna happen

Yes , that one, thanks ACE

$187 on Ebay.

I would venture a guess that most people buying and building model kits seldom see the discrepancy's mentioned here.

Gerald Windgrove once mentioned "Eye scale", that being not mathematic but what looked good to the observers eye,

?

You pays your money and you get a good basis to build may different Cobra variations. No one's done a new leaf spring Cobra chassis to replace the one in this kit, a direct copy of the classic AMT original kit. So disregarding all of the silly non researched nonsense on the box top your still getting a bargain for your money. I'm betting most people buying this kit, other than the few here that are aware of what's what in the Cobra world, will buy the the kit, build it, and be pretty happy with the results.

The 1/25th scale certainly has merits.

phast phingers ? Maybe replacing the I for an "A" and the eve for "EYE" we get . . . They consider it A black EYE

says "289" looks like the 427 body. AC did produce a 289 in a 427 body toward the end of their run. Don't get excited, so did Sunny. Sunny 289 Cobra kit

. . . and '34's that want to be Deuces'

and VW's that want to be Model As

And VW's that want to be Deuces

I find it interesting how terms change, come and go. How old terms are brought back so the user looks hip. How's that for a term ? Hip, from the term "Hipster"'. I've always had a problem with the term "Gow job", and consequently doing a little studying on the subject. I have a Hot Rod Magazine collection going back to the early fifties, a rather extensive hot rod ( if I may use the term) library again going back to the fifties. Two collections come to mind broadening my search, "Throttle, the complete collection" and "Hop Up, the first twelve issues". Nowhere in any of these publications could i find any use of the term "gow job". I did see it used once in a hot rod film aptly named "Hot Rod" from the fifties.

two others

yep, ?

Yep, that's what i'm talking about

Seeing how these kits were among the first plastic automotive kits that many of us had any interest in it's not hard to see that there is still a great fondness for them. Contrary to Misha's comment "The Victoria and Phaeton versions are the only ones in 1/25th" all of the AMT '32 kits are 1/25th. Interesting trivia, All of their optional engines are interchangeable from kit to kit along with many other early Trophy series kits. Yes, certainly a strong bit of our nostalgia.
