  1. It was orignally slated to called the Panda.
  2. It was Dennis Shattuck of Car Life Magazine who coined the phrase to define an attractive sporty coupe with a long nose and short deck, inexpensive base price with some expensive options including a V8 engine targeted at the young. The Mustang was purpose build. The Barracuda was not a direct response to the Mustang but a dressed up Valiant, because go figure, Plymouth was have finacial problems and could afford to build a new purpose built pony car at that time. And people were just not that excited about it. So for all practical purposes it wasn't till 1967 Plymouth had their first true Pony Car.
  3. Hyperscale.com Probably one of the best plane/military sites on the web.
  4. Pretty much. IMSA was scared that the 956 would dominate the series and didn't think Porsche would actually build a new car to meet the requirements. For over a decade it was the most dominate winningest sports car the world had ever seen.
  5. And it's nearly extinct. 2 Ford Teams 2 Citroen Teams 1 Jr Citroen Team everyone else dropped out.
  6. A well paid Professional screw off.
  7. Old news. built over 10 years ago. Sold to Fine Art Models to finance new projects.
  8. The Tour as promised. The entry Storage closet Heli/mechanical electical bench more storage Paint booth Storage and plastic modeling bench Oh and of course the bathroom
  9. I have finished room in the basement that I recently aquired, complete with a toliet and shower. I will post some pix soon. I am in the process of finishing it up, have the paint booth installed, a plastic modeling bench, a glass top desk for RC helis, lots of storage and building a 3X6 bench/Jig for large scale flying models. I have future plans for a small machine shop area.
  10. Porsche 930 AKA Porsche Turbo probably 81-86 there wasn't much difference between them. Since the slant nose hit 81 and the film was released in 87. Tamiya makes a kit The regular 930 might go back a little further. Tamiya Revell Proabably Fujimi. You shouldn't have and trouble finding a kit since that was probably the most publically visable and publicly noticed 911 ever.
  11. thanks. It's one I started years ago and got as far as painting the body Hot Pink, stripping the body, painting the body some funky blue, stripping the body, painting it black. It's been stipped so many times now some the detail got pretty soft. So I thought I just better stick with a color and finish it. Finish last year.
  12. Thin acrylic black over the chrome. has been fine on my P car.
  13. Some of there Ferrari kits are pretty insane too. 246 some odd parts for a little tiny Dino
  14. I don't think so. The "coupe" was a Special Limousine. The car pictured above is a cab, maybe a roadster, the Johan car was a special True Roadster, close, but slightly different most visually significant the bonnet and the bumpers.
  15. Here is a 500K http://www.kidston.com/kidston-Motor-Cars/...00K-Cabriolet-A
  16. the daming bit is the telemetry suggests that is was unatrual for this crash to have happened. meaning that the data shows NP kept his foot in it, were in reality the natrual instinct would have been to lift.
  17. Found them with pics inside the boxes. It's a repop of the 1994 RSR LeMans FAT TURBO car, which isn't accurate for an RSR.
  18. I am curious too. Besides the box saying it's a RSR, it has the RSR rear spoiler. If indeed it is an RSR it would have had a 3.8, which there would have been a little insert in the side of the spoiler like the early GT2 GT3 cars that would been imbossed with a "3.8L" I bet that it's just a repop of the LeMans 94 RSR, which isn't real accurate for a RSR. It might have even been an RS. I don't remember. Nevertheless it was the precursor to the "GT" series car launched in 95
  19. sounds like an instruction sheet excerpt
  20. 1994 RSR. There was maybe 100 produced and they were probably all different. It was basically a stripped out race ready car from the factory. I am not sure what is in the kit though.
  21. You have to see his practice spin a few laps before in the exact place the crash happened. Then you have to look at the crash. It was odd. Very late out of the corner, the car was going striaght when he snapped it around. Even one of the Speed commentators said it seemed a bit strange, live, on TV just after it happened. I believe Massa, who said after that race, to Favio, "That crash happened because you wanted it to happen." Agreed, the out come will be whatever they want it to be.
  22. yup because in 78 is when they had gone to corp blue across the entire GM line - pretty much anyway. until black came along.
  23. close... I think it was a 360 and a Elise though
