RC2/AMT released an F&F '69 Yenko Camaro based off the old MPC Camaro tooling about 10 years ago..it had a poorly shaped roof, IIRC..

Tower Hobbies is the only place I've seen it so far... http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFUTA&P=7

Looking good...love the color combo

The quoting can be flaky sometimes I've found.

I like BNL...I've bought a bunch of their engines and misc parts from eBay. Good quality.

Mmm...Ford Transit...sweet. It would be neat if one of the companies would tool up the current Transit, since it's sold and built in the US also now...

As far as recently defunct domestic brands how about Saturn (no kits that I know of) and Hummer (a couple Revell kits). For a long running brand, GMC hasn't had many kits--a couple AMT trucks and a Jimmy in the early 70s, a pickup and a Jimmy from the late 70s from Monogram, a couple '80s MPCs, the A-Team van..

The '70 was a curbside (Motor City Stocker Series), and was reissued a few years ago as a Model King issue.

I'm on my phone so I can't easily post them. The are on the Factory/Dealer Stock Model Cars group. The guy that was involved in the F3E-X mentioned earlier in this thread (Angelo Valenti) posted them. I'm sure they will turn up here eventually...

Test shot photos of the Cutlass are on various Facebook groups today. As is the 2nd quarter flyer.

Great to hear it's happening.

One of those mysteries of the model world..maybe they started the tooling in 77...or someone had a 77 they used as reference...not being that familiar w/ the 1:1, I never noticed the difference in the years until this thread..

I spent my college and grad school years in the 90s, so I have a lot of love of that era also...ones mentioned, plus Pearl Jam, U2, Metallica....and there is a vast amount of 80s music I still love... my interest span is mid 60s to present day, but I've also been exploring some from the 50s also like Sinatra, Johnny Cash, various blues and jazz musicians, etc...my CD and mp3 collection is pretty diverse.

The Beatles broke up the year I was born, but having two Baby Boomer siblings, I was exposed to their music an early age..I like a lot of their music. Though of the big bands of the 60s, I'm more of a fan of the Rolling Stones and The Who.. there is so much great music from that era that I enjoy...Steve Winwood and Traffic, The Yardbirds, Eric Clapton, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Crosby, Stills and Nash, etc...

Good luck with that...I haven't been able to post here from Fotki.

Perhaps the description that sums it up best is 'I live in a madhouse ruled by a tiny army I made myself'...I've seen that applied to memes applied to dogs and toddlers. Living w/ 6 dogs (albeit dogs that weigh less than 60lbs total) is challenging at times, but very rewarding...I've enjoyed my experiences w/ dog rescues..

As a child of the 70s and 80s, with two Baby Boomer siblings, I heard the Eagles constantly growing up...always liked them, liked Glenn Frey's solo work...esp. the songs from Miami Vice ('Smuggler's Blues' and 'You Belong to the City')...I remember buying a Glenn Frey solo album ("The Allnighter") and a Don Henley solo album ("Building the Perfect Beast") along w/ the Eagles Greatest Hits on cassette to listen to in my Mustang in high school before I got my first CD player...the Eagles 'Greatest Hits 1971-1975' and 'Greatest Hits Vol II' were the staples (on cassette) of many motorhome road trips w/ my folks in the 80s....they made a lot of great music...

A very tiny spare bedroom currently functions as my home office/modeling room...about 8 x 10. Next house will have 4-5 bedrooms and a finished basement, so I plan to have much more space for modeling.

I have tiny teeth marks on an once-mint MPC '68 Bonneville hood, where one of my Yorkies grabbed it off my desk and ran around the house with it a few years ago.

Round 2 reissued this in 2008. Should be easy to find from the usual sources.

The epic storm from my childhood was the Great Blizzard of '78..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Blizzard_of_1978 It wreaked havoc on Ohio...

Funny...right after looking at these posts, the movie trailer was on tv...Batman hit Supey and crashed the Batmobile...(the SFX in the trailer looked kind of cheesy)

Their website seems to be have last been updated in 2008 (based on the note linked from the home page), so who knows if they are still in business....I bought several items from them with no problem, but that was about a dozen years ago...

I remember a snowstorm in '03 in Denver that pretty much shut things down for a couple days...looked it up, was 31 inches. Another big one I remember from Dec. 2006--the airport shut down for over a day and cancelled my Christmas travel plans.
