  1. 'Silver Thunderbird' by Marc Cohn. I've read the car in the song was a reference to his father who drove a Thunderbird. The video though, oddly features a C1 Corvette.
  2. I have the '77 and '78 versions of the Monaco, but don't have the custom parts so I can't comment on those, but it is unlikely it will be reissued since they reworked the tooling to do the 4dr version that has been reissued many times.. IIRC, there were 3 issues of the 2dr--the '77 and '78 annual and the Force 440 2dr cop car version.
  3. I like the wide wire wheels... I have one of these that I plan to swap the wheels w/ the '66 Wildcat..the 5 spoke Buick road wheels will look good on the Riv w/ whitewalls.
  4. The objects they call 'Pro Stock' cars today look like funny cars.. cartoonish, lumpy and bloated, very little resemblance to street cars. I lost interest in watching Pro Stock in the late 90s.
  5. I'll have to dig mine out and look at the wheels.
  6. I built the red GT kit as a teenager...neat model. Never had any of the earlier kits.
  7. It is odd that it says 'TESTOR' brand and not 'TESTORS'...I guess they had a shortage of 'S'es.
  8. I try and keep at least 1/2 dozen rolls under the sink in each bathroom at all times.. Funny thing is one of the bathrooms in my house looks a lot like your before photos, but a light green. I don't know when it was last remodeled. (1967 suburban tract split level). Pretty dated but in good condition.
  9. Yes...I liked that. That was the one year only Grand Wagoneer (ZJ). I wonder how my 2014 Grand Cherokee (WK2) would look with woodgrain...
  10. I like the fake woodgrain on wagons. Would be neat to see it come back as an option on SUVs.
  11. Yeah, it's been a while...reissuing that one by itself would be nice.
  12. Saw the parts trees and body up close at the Revell display at the NNL Nationals last weekend, it looks like it's going to be great...really looking forward to it.
  13. Beautiful fall day here in Cleveland...saw a sharp gold '72 Cutlass convertible rolling w/ the top down. Went out this evening to see Bruce Springsteen's concert film 'Western Stars' (beautiful film, beautiful music) , and I parked next to a new Jeep Gladiator Rubicon at the theatre...first I'd seen in the wild. There was a great Jeep Wrangler ad before the film..
  14. It’s solid. Has a few issues, a broken steering wheel, missing radiator hose, etc. The Chevelle is an MPC ‘72, good chrome and complete except for no engine or transmission. I have it in annual box but it was molded in red.
  15. Got my latest order today, only 2 days after ordering. Love the early '60s GMC parts. Got the engine and trim for an AMT truck conversion. The mirrors are very nice.
  16. Got the Italeri Land Rover fire truck and some great resin parts from Rookie Resin (2 days shipping time!).
  17. That's my plan..a little touch up, but I'd like to preserve them in their 70s glory. I also have a built annual AMT '70 and a built MPC '70 some where in my stash.
  18. On the subject of early 70s Camaros, dug out these two 73s from my stash. Bought as buildups a few years ago, going to keep them as is probably...MPC and AMT..
  19. Yes, it has that spoiler while the Z/28 kit has the smaller one. The funny thing is, the Z/28 kit I have has a green 1:1 on the box art w the big spoiler, while the kit only has the small one.
  20. The Wildcat has been reissued many times over the years, but this release will get the retro box art and probably white wall tires. I don't really need another. I already have one each of the others, don't need more.
  21. Plastic spoons, and customizing parts from AMT kits that had them...custom hoods, pans, etc.
  22. I'd be up for one of those, along w/ #Y717, #Y726, and #Y727. How about #Y728--one that never was in a kit or 1:1!
  23. That was previously announced, so wouldn't be on this list. I chatted w/ John G from Round 2 at the NNL last weekend about it, it's definitely coming in 2020.
  24. I see them. That postal Jeep looks fun. Would be fun to do a replica of David Tracy's rusty one.
