Yes, restos can be quite time consuming and expensive. A friend bought a '70 Mach 1 back in early '02, was found in field, rough, relatively rust free, hadn't run in years. $60k later, and it's still not finished...

I loved seeing the Ferraris, Corvettes and esp. the green Aston Martins in the pits and on the tracks...didn't see much coverage of the Porsches in those classes. The Spyker was a treat to see when it would appear. And what about the Ferrari that lost a tire and wheel in a corner? Fun race overall. I liked the occasional flashbacks to years past, esp. the Ford GT40s, and the Dan Gurney interview.

The question of the tooling will probably keep popping up all the time over the next 20 years, kind of an urban legend. By the way, whatever happened to the building? Torn down? Burned down?

Huh??? Wagoner was a GM lifer...you are thinking of Bob Nardelli who was the Chrysler CEO under Cerebus'-- he came from Home Depot. Back to the original poster, who cares who Glenn Beck promotes--he's just another right-wing talking head nutter like Rush Limbaugh.

By the way, I like the Audi R8 ad in Maranello..very clever.

Any or all would work for me...esp. the B400..such a cool bodystyle.

Maybe they can come up with a deal to pair SAAB dealers w/ IKEA stores..would be interesting to see SAABs at my local IKEA. My only experiences with SAABs was back in the '90s, my sister had a '92 900 Turbo for a few years, had a variety of problems, neat car, though.

I'm dissapointed Speed interrupted coverage this morning to show NA$CAR....ugh.

Sharp..I like the white and blue color combo..

Interesting...never seen anything like that Mack kitted..is that an old Monogram tool?

This past weekend in Ohio, I had my '87 Mustang GT out, and pulled up with the left side facing the pump, as I would in my Jeep. Alas, the Mustang has the door on the right side (hadn't driven it in a while). Later the same day, I drove my '69 Mustang, which has the gas cap on the rear. Then the next day, I had to fill up my Town Car rental, which had the door on the right side also.

Difficult question. Of the cars I've owned, the Fox ('87) Mustang GT and E36 ('96) BMW M3...I love both cars, for various reasons. Of cars I haven't owned but admire, too many to list.

Too much work, since AMT has the nice new tool '57...which they should reissue. A convertible or Nomad would be nice, though!

Yes, such it is...I spent $125 on a mint in box AMT '66 a few years ago, but I'm glad to see the new one also.

As far as the Cutlass--I think this is the first stock Olds that Revell has ever done, as far as I can think of. I've ideas for a few...stock H/O, stock 442, ht conversion, maybe a beater.. Looking forward to 3 of the '66 Impalas (though I have the AMTs), 1 stock, 1 street, 1 Biscayne conversion with the MCW parts.. Though I have a resin Hemi Dart, I'm definitely down for another Dart variation..

That's some very cool detail work in small scale! The only model in any scale I've seen of a GW is the beautiful one Auto Art made in 1:18th diecast a few years ago. I'd love to see one in 1:25th..always liked those Jeeps. I'm partial to Jeep wagons since my daily driver is an '00 Grand Cherokee.

I didn't notice it was different until someone pointed it out...I guess new side trim and badging for the 150, maybe new interior parts to do a Bel Air? Interesting...

That will be easy enough to make with this kit plus an AMT '70 Monte Carlo for the roof and some bodywork.

Add in the G8 GXP and '10 Shelby GT500... same thought---where are the new cars??? Though I'm definitely looking forward to the Impala and Olds. Though I have the AMT '66 Impala already, and can get the Olds in resin.

Looks good...the optional wheels look boring, though. I've got ideas for 2-3 of these, 1 stock and a couple SEMA show style builds..

A lot of '80s Fords had the fuel door on the right rear quarter...haven't noticed where the newer ones have it. One unusual detail the '80s Fords I've had all seemed to have the fuel door release in the glovebox. My '00 Jeep oddly doesn't have a locking fuel door..

IIRC, my Jeep is the first car I've had with the gas door on the left..all the Fords (and the one BMW) I owned previously had it on the right. But the last year I've driven an older Mercedes quite a bit w/ the door on the right, so I've found myself pulling in on the wrong side with it when filling it up after driving the Jeep. I always find myself looking at the gas gauge for an arrow to see which side it's on when I'm traveling and have a rental car. The funniest thing, though, was the first week or so after I bought the Jeep back in '00 was the phantom clutching...since I had driven cars and SUVs with sticks pretty much exclusively the previous 14 years!

I believe AAM did one in resin, along with a crew cab...probably 15 years ago. Monogram did a SuperCab, but that was an F250 and F350 of the '87-91 style.

Really? I couldn't imagine a Chevy engine in a Mustang. As for my '87, it's got the stock 5.0. Plenty enough power for the occasional weekend drive.

I'm patient enough to wait until I get it home..don't want to drop any tiny parts in the car... Though most commonly, new models appear at my house in brown boxes from a brown van (UPS) that usually shows up at around 6:30 pm.
