My list isn't long but it is fervent: '67-68 Mustang notchback. It far outsold the fastback (still my favorite body style of any car-full stop) but they were everywhere and had most of of the options of the f/b. Shelby Trans Am cars, anyone? An up to date 68-69 Torino. A hardtop would be great but even a fastback would be awesome. Add to that a wish for the 68-69 Mercury Cyclone. Dan Gurney/Cale Yarborough editions. Now for a laugh: an AMC Rebel Machine. In real life a day late and a dollar short but unique lines and color scheme.

What did you see on the road today?
The Junkman replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Ah, a sighting of the rare IH drywall catcher in its native environment. Two things I noticed: its missing a side mirror and (2) was that a for sale sign in the rear window? -
I just looked my over. What I found was two engine block/tranny assemblies. The sprue with the Boss 302 model specific parts (rear window louvers, etc) had the oil pan and all the other parts included though the attachment to the oil pan sprue was very thin. The other, with the main body/frame parts, didn't have the pan or pretty much any other engine parts. So I got a tranny and engine block extra.

I always entertained the theory that some Pontiac chief ("chief": get it? I slay myself) came up with a product and pushed it so hard that no one had the cojones to tell him/her "Boss, that's a gawd awful design" so it sailed through. Bad groupthink would work too.

Never let a classic idea go to waste: Los Angeles Jan 2018 Yes, that's a Volvo s/w

Pretty much everything on the outside of a Pontiac Aztek.

Whoops. Gotta pay better attention
The Junkman replied to JJ Deuce's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Early in my Ebay experience, I won two ESCI 250 SWB kits. I just saw 250 SWB. When I got them I found they were pretty much glue bombs and had no tires. I went screaming back to the original listing and.....glue bombs with no tires. Slapping of head ensued. And a lesson learned-read carefully. -
I'm hoping this works out. I found a Fujimi Porsche 917 on Amazon last week. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MMWAFVI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The thing is; it was priced at $7.14 with $0.00 shipping. Obviously that's changed in the interim. I pulled the trigger on it because: why not! I just got a shipping notice and its supposed to be on the West Coast (the Best Coast) between the 8th and 23rd of April. I'll let you know how (if) it works out. It sort of reminds me of when Model Expo was blowing out of the plastic model scene. I got two Accurate Miniatures GS Corvettes and a Tamiya Skyraider for (basically) the cost of shipping.

The Junkman replied to 64SS350's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
88 parts and a level 4 grade. I'm not thinking its a snapper. Take a look at some of the detail pics on the link. https://www.revell.de/en/products/modelmaking/cars/motorsport/ford-gt-le-mans-2017.html https://stage.revell.de/fileadmin/import/images/bau/07041_%23BAU_FORD_GT_LE_MANS_V01_02_LOW.PDF -

The Junkman replied to 64SS350's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLHML&P=7 Its projected at a good price for me, I'll probably end up with two. -
Does this look familiar?
The Junkman replied to ranma's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I never watched the show but I heard that one point late in its run they were reduced to using AMC Matadors as victim cars. -
2019 Ridler winner
The Junkman replied to bbowser's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'm looking at the 1-1 and I'm thinking "I hope they've got hydraulics on that thing because the only way to access the lug nuts to change a flat would be to take the fender off." Cool job -
West Coast Hobby Shop Recomendations?
The Junkman replied to oldcarfan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
There used to be a plethora of great hobby shops in the SF Bay area; San Antonio Hobby, D&J Hobby, Franciscan Hobbies... Now there are darn few and none of which would I call a good old time hobby shops. Berkeley Ace Hardware had an entire basement full but it moved and is now just a shadow of its former self. Hobby Co of SF on Geary was just OK the last time I went there. OTOH a few blocks to the west is Ton Kiang, some of the best Dim Sum in the city. Or go to Boudin Bakery at Geary and 10th for the best SF sourdough bread at its point of origin. Sorry -
Just the new 1969 Revell Boss 302 Mustang. I haven't bought diddly squat in a long time but I pulled the trigger on this one. I was going to turn it into a Trans Am racer (Dan Gurney with Fred Cady decals) but I really like what they did so its going to be stock. Maybe another kit is in the shopping list.

What did you see on the road today?
The Junkman replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
"A long time ago in a country far, far away" (Actually June 2016 in Montreal during the run up to the Canadian GP) They had closed a few streets downtown for a vendor/spectator fair. Somehow, someone thought it a good idea to put this out in the Porsche display. Dents, scrapes, rust... Never realized carbon fiber could rust like that. -

Buying Belkits in the USA
The Junkman replied to Luc Janssens's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
You can also go here: http://www.mshobbies.com/belkits-wrc/ No connection with the seller but I've bought from him a number of times. Mark's a good guy. -
A link to a list of announced releases. Its a bit wonky-works one time but not the next. Not a great deal new on the car front. http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/Ausstellungen/Nuernberg2019/Nuernberg_2019.html

Yeah, they're expensive. But you only have to sell one..... Just speculation but I'd bet some of those are mis-typing upon entry. Also what is it called when a bunch of people look at the same thing without buying it and the system interprets it as desire-thereby jacking up the price each time its looked at. Dynamic pricing isn't it but close. You see that alot in searching used books.

Some talk on car movies.
The Junkman replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
What they did to Chargers on Dukes of Hazard must have left you curled up in a ball on the floor.
