The Revell '72 Hurst/Olds convertible kit comes with that hood, and it was reissued not that long ago:

Your post title is referencing something in the past, not a suggestion of what Round2 should do now, so while people understood you, they disagreed with you. A more concisely constructed post (and a post title more consistent with the body) would've more clearly communicated what you were trying to discuss. It's been mentioned before that Round2 doesn't view other companies as tit-for-tat competitors, so the idea they need to match each kit release from Company A with something from their own tooling inventory doesn't hold up very well. Round2 has many unique options which no other company can nor would try to match, and the number of competitors, when viewed down at the individual kit level, is incredibly small. I think they have a very good idea of what they should be reissuing, with the timing of the "when" being more reliant upon the condition of a specific mold, rather than what any individual competitor might be releasing. TL/DR: Round2 is doing their own thing and knows better than us.

This is why you should always search before asking...the answer might already be out there:

Do a "Completed Items" search on eBay, and you'll likely get some hits with images...see top right of below image: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Rare-Vintage-AMT-1976-Chevy-Nova-1-25-Scale-Model-Car-Kit-T472-/273224889345?nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=TdL1tcmxwBcP8l%2FjiXzKD5svIiw%3D&orig_cvip=true

I think all AMT/Ertl kits were molded in grey, but that's a good question for the Question & Answer section...or worth a search to see if it's been asked previously.

That kit did have the vertical orientation on the box top panel, but was in a standard box. It is a Trophy Series kit, though.

Should be available within the month of June:

I like them, too, but from a retailer's point of view, I would guess they are not nearly as fond, and would prefer a standard sized box. The vertical box does stand out, especially when the top panel is in the upright position, but the parts are really crammed into the box, even for the older style kits originally designed to fit inside the narrower boxes. The recent Customizing Boat would've been a good choice for reissue inside a narrow box, too, as the parts count is fairly low and there's not a lot of mass to the kit's parts. Perhaps if one of the Jr. Craftsman kit is resurrected the narrow box can be used.

Is the 1/24 Monogram '70 Boss 302 Mustang the only kit which contains this carb (carbs?)?

There seem to have been a few different boxes sizes, and my guess is box size and shape was dictated by how the parts were organized in the mold, and how they could be broken down into smaller pieces after removal from the mold. Maybe it's a 'chicken or the egg' type thing regrading box size/shape vs. part layout? AMT did reissue the '59 El Camino in the 'vertical' box as part of the Buyer's Choice program in 1997, and maybe another kit or two?: Round2 seems to have tried a few different box sizes, some with Original Art prints, some without, but the forthcoming '39/'40 Ford Sedan looks like it'll be in the standard box instead of a wider, flatter box which Round2 used for previous Original Art series kits.

Ch-ch-ch-Chad!

You're going to tell us what it means...right? Is this the issue you purchased?:

I think making them accurately, in 1/24 scale, is beyond most people's ability, but I think it's important to note they are not present on the body in case somebody wants to build an accurate '71 Firebird. Is anybody offering Formula or Esprit decals in 1/24 scale?

Make sure you note only the '71 Firebirds (not Trans Ams) had fender vents below the bodyline, so the body represents only a '70 or '72-3, and can't be used as-is for a '71.

Looks like Perry's may be making product again soon, at least according the the comments on the Perry's Resin fb page:

x2...done.

This should get you started regarding that specific kit.

The forum hasn't caught up with West Coast time...yet.
