69-70 Chevy long-bed stepside pickup. There was a big bowtie stamped on the tailgate and the rear fenders were 55-56 style.

Amazon Parked at the Lowe's near my house:

DARK tint on windshields and front side windows

They were impressive and really nice when they were new, probably big money pits these days. How old are the newest Phaetons?

Pantera was quite different than the Mangusta, Styling, of course, was different. Pantera had monococque construction where the Mangusta had a separate central backbone chassis.

Lockheed Martin was never "Part of Boeing". They are two separate companies.

And they enlarged the engine compartment of the Pinto in 1974. I had a 73 wagon that I swapped a 2300 engine into. It was not a bolt-in. The 2300 is physically larger than the 2000 that came out of the car, the compartment is smaller front-to back and the engine mounts are completely different. That being said, the swap worked really well.

Burbank's House of Hobbies has been getting some cool old kits in so I indulged and picked up a couple more. Yesterday I picked up a 74 AMT Mustang II kit and a Hawk Monte Carlo. I wanted to get one of these since I was about ten. They also had the Moebius (formerly Galaxie) 40's Chevy kits so I picked up a Coupe kit. We had our club meeting last night and some guys brought some kits to sell. I acquired a Revell 67 GTX (Sox & Martin), Fujimi Ferrari Daytona, Moebius Golden Commandos AWB car and a couple other things.

I have a 1984 Corvette brochure. picked up (I had to pay for it!) at the local Chevy dealer when the C4 first came out.

BMW Z3 M Coupe. A BMW SUV cutting in and out of traffic. The license plate said MEEFRST. Of course....

The 64 Comet Super Cyclone. Someone built a replica that was part of the Lynx Project at the last GSLMCC.

I'd hate to see the cost of replacement headlights for my 2023 Outback. They move when you steer the car. It's interesting to see them move back and forth whenever I start the car.

IF it gets to the shelves of Hobby Lobby.

When it's ready. Here we go again.....

The mercury is a 55.

When you have to remove an intake manifold to replace a starter, or a drive axle to change out an alternator, something is wrong.

Pearl pink current-model Escalade. Probably a big time Mary Kay seller.

53 or 54 Buick 4-door sedan

The only full-size 67 Pontiac kits were Bonnevilles.

There never was a 67 Skylark kit. Amt made a 66 though.

Cool. I have one of those as well, purchased from Paul when his company was still Dragon. One of my favorite builds. I have always thought that this was one of the best-looking Ferraris. I recently got the coupe version.

Pretty sure Kevin used the MPC 73 Cougar engine compartment as it was a separate part and easy to duplicate. It had its roots in the 69 "Super Cat" and 70 Cougar kits.
