The world is rapidly losing the masters of the "Rodding World" Dave will be missed, "Street Rodder" will not be the same.

What with the way the "spy network" runs, this may be the reason AMT dropped their plans, the way I heard it, AMT had plans for this car to be released decades ago, & dropped it then because Revell was planning a release also, & it never appeared. Talk about a long delay in releasing a kit!

Don't think those DZ's would make a very good Pro Touring wheel, to much flex, especially with the weight this behemoth would be carrying.

Since this is a "hardtail" as long as the fender isn't touching, there wouldn't be a problem.

Either this is a really anal builder, that rolls his models through dirt on the way to the table, or his kids have been playing with it. Or the obvious,, that it is REAL!

The AMT early Riviera has a great set of wires too. Are These Hearses for "Little People"?

Does anybody mold/have a pair of those tires that are on the trike in the last photos?

Just for those of us on a limited budget, how much should I beg the little woman for tho get this baby?

My grandson saw this while I was looking, & now I have to get one to build him a "Doc" from Cars.

Do they make one of these that just "chases" in red? Sure would like to find one. Thanks, Del Oh yeah, GREAT build!

I'll take one! (kinda familiar)

If I can find it easily, I have a V-12 you can have. When I find it I'll give you a bump so you can give an address. I was going to try the "graft a couple of V-8 heads together" deal, but decided to go the Viper V-10 route instead.

it's Friday, where's Harry, asleep again, geez you'd think he's gettin' old or sumpthin'.

I still like the older "fiddly" version of the Willys coupe, & there is a decal set to produce this version that was made by Slixx, the other things aren't really a problem.

I'm probably gonna blow this one, but it just looks like a model from my point of view.

I'm older than this kit, & most of my attaching pins don't always line up either. It's just an age thing, if you have an extra couple of hundred grand, contact Revell, I'm sure that they will be glad to re-tool this kit up to modern standards if you want to foot the bill, as for the rest of us, it's an old kit, even with the flash problems mine has, I'm still pretty happy with it.

Like hunting Easter eggs with the kids.

I really doubt that you could even pay the chrome bill for the 150k, much less even start to put a "true" copy of this car together for anything less than probably 350k. Probably more in the 1/2 a mill territory. I think 150 would be a real deal, now if I had just won that stupid Mega Lotto.

Not that I'm that into the Avanti, but this is the first model I ever built & entered in a contest, summer of 64 if my memory is correct. Don't remember what ever came of the results, it was Geneva & Elanor's Hobby Shop, Los Banos, CA.

or you could just contact Revell for one.

Kinda strange, the ad says that it's in "unrestored original condition", but the original didn't have all of the flames, or the dark orange pearl paint that I see in the pictures they show. Either this isn't THE Orange Crate, or it has been re-done, (I would bet on that).

Omaha orange (state orange to most of us) but competition, or bright orange is very close.

Thanks, those are the wheels I'm wanting, now I just need to find some foo,,er kind sole that doesn't want their set.

Am I the only one who wonders what this would look like with the '58 T-Bird roof on it?

I'm going real, it looks just like the one the guy down the street has. even down to the rear letters, that look proper depth.
