I just picked up this kit today, and after opening it and scanning the parts, one thing stood out to me-- the rearend halves. It looks very undersized to my eyes, like the parts are closer to 1/28 scale, or maybe smaller:

This rearend has a separate, drop out center section, and looks to me like a Ford 9. Unfortunately, I don't know which kit it came from, but it's definitely an AMT part, molded in that drab, Ertl grey plastic. Note there are to notches, on the forward facing 'side' of the axle tube, so probably not from a car with traditional leaf springs. '71 Charger, '67 Comet, and '60 Starliner have all been ruled out:

Yes, really, Bill. When you use a group of people, especially those who have been marginalized by society for their choices or lifestyle, as part of a joke, insult, or slur, yes, that is hurtful, immature, insulting, insensitive, etc. Hopefully you (and anyone else who didn't or doesn't) now realize(s) that.

Yes, it is. Now I'm wondering if there's a connection between this car and the Revell 1/4 scale early Chrysler Slant Six engine kit.

Over six years later and Revell kits ('83 Hurst/Olds Cutlass, '69 Nova SS) are still priced at $25 each. My local store which is an "A" (i.e., the largest, stocks the most product, etc.) level store downsized the model section significantly, and they now have maybe 20-25 various models on the shelves.

Yikes, I totally missed that. Thanks for pointing it out, Gerry.

No, it doesn't have a typical cooling setup. Fortunately, there are enough reference images available in the web that you should be able to identify each visible part and determine if it's a fuel pump, water pump, and after that, where each water and fuel lines connects. Considering the Mustang was born from the '33 Willys Coupe, you should be able to notice many parts have carried over, thus, you can also use images of the '33 for plumbing reference:

Well, sticking with Revell for a minute, their recent history has shown that when they develop a new tool, there is usually another variant planned from the beginning-- '69 Novas, '50 Olds, '72 Cutlass, '83 Olds Cutlass, '90 Mustang LX The Kit Which Shall Not Be Named, etc. --- so I wouldn't have expected them to do a one-eighty and only release a '68 this time around. Factor in a '69 was specifically mentioned without any prompting, and while everything is speculation until it appears to our eyes, I feel rather confident a '69 variant is forthcoming...and I have zero interest in any '68-'69 Chevy A-bodies.

Looks like this is available for pre-order after a few months of delay: https://www.megahobby.com/products/preorder-frank-iaconio-chevy-camaro-pro-stock-drag-car-1-24-revell.html

How do you interpret the below comment?: Why mention a '69 if that wasn't in the plans from the start, which would follow the M.O. for Revell's previous new releases? Granted there's no guarantee there will be a '69 given what Revell has gone through over the last year, but if the '68 kit is due within the next few months, I feel pretty confident a '69 Chevelle SS will be announced before the end of 2019.

Is that convertible-specific interior tub what remains? *edit*It looks like a hardtop-specific interior tub never existed, according to the '62 Chevy II Sport Coupe instruction sheet:

Robert Glucksman This is a Brand new tool of the 68, then 69 Chevelle An Inspired tool from the Great Ron Rowlett... I am extremely proud of this build, & Honored to have worked with Ron.. The fit on the test shot was excellent, the seams are almost non existent. Considering the gates for this kit, well, just one more reason that Ron is the best I Sprayed Molotow for all of the chrome

That's why people add a reply to an existing post discussing the same topic, rather than starting a new, redundant topic. Stop using that as an excuse. It's incredibly easy to find what you're looking for here on the forum, and there has been a pinned post detailing exactly how to do just that for almost five years: It takes less than a minute to search, and it definitely takes longer than that to type up a new post, so...: ...^is clearly not true. Once could also argue creating multiple new posts discussing the same topic makes it more difficult for people to find information, and that goes contrary to the entire reason for this forum existing. You were a teacher, Greg, so surely you can understand the appeal of being neat and concise when it comes to disseminating information. No worries, people here are aware of how this goes, and judging by your comments after your new posts are merged with existing topics, you are, too. We're rarely dealing with time-sensitive topics here to be honest, as most of these kits have been around for decades, and the discussions surrounding them are just as valid now as they were when the kits were first issued.

I wouldn't hold you breath for one. When the '65 Chevelle Z-16 was new, there was a slim chance, but now, not so much. Now a '69 variant off this '68, yes, I definitely could see that happening, especially in light of this bullet point: •Separate frame structure I don't recall any of Revell's '65-'72 GM A-bodies having a separate frame.

Been there...: ...done that...: ...bought the t-shirt:
