Yeah id love to restore the ones I have...I have no clue if anything from them could be used to try to..?...might be worth a shot to try..? If I ever can they will be as ones the family had owned once.

Steve....Unbelievably Stunning work..! I hope my dads old ones come out at least 1/2 that good once I find what they need. I have the 63,64,67,68,69,70 HTs from his collection. I have no clue how anyone could not love these things. -

Cool build Chuck. Years ago me and buddy of mine took one and put it on a Jeep chassis...we were surprised at how well it fit in 1 to 1. It was fun to ride around in too.

Cool find Keith...shame they ruined the factory stock mold to make this series with though. I have the stock 65 Olds...66 Buick...66 Impala...and Falcon ones I am trying to restore. Still a cool find.

What is a 'promo' model?
disabled modeler replied to shaunmza's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Snake... I myself can see your point but for me I am driven to make them whole again and like they should be and were once..LOL.. If I find them in too bad of shape to they will become models somehow...I just cant see letting anything go to waste..specially with my budget. I have been lucky enough to find a couple of them that were of cars the family had owned once...still looking ofr other promos or models of the rest of them. My first real car was a 72 Toronado...very nice one. The # 1 on my wants list is a 75 Firebird or TA...I owned one once and truly loved that car. -
The life of my 68 Firebird in 4 dioramas...
disabled modeler replied to Chris D's topic in WIP: Dioramas
Very cool dioramas and story on them. I still have hopes to find someone willing to trade me a 75 Firebird someday so i can build a replica of mine I once owned...I truly loved that car. -
What is a 'promo' model?
disabled modeler replied to shaunmza's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Exactly Shaun....that is what makes this place so great....there is always someone willing to help another out if possible here. And I have some great (on-line) friends from here since I started here. Jim..Yep I have had some with radios in them some still worked. Snake...I could make that old Toronado look new again...nice one. I have a sad 68 Toronado promo..it would be mint but the tornado we had tossed it around I found it in our backyard that morning...now it needs a body and glass...bummer. -
Very nice..! Clean build too..! I still have a 1 to 1 70 Yenko Nova intake manifold...use to have a ton of old muscle car and custom parts.

What is a 'promo' model?
disabled modeler replied to shaunmza's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Shaun.... I love promos myself and love restoring and collecting them. A promo will have screws holding the chassis on ...no engine but a molded engine plate,etc. on the chassis. Sometimes they will have writing molded into the chassis like information on the real cars features. Some will have a friction mechanized motor on one set of axles while others are just coasters. Some have been reissued while others never have or will be. They were advertising and thank you gifts from the dealerships years ago...many times when the dad would come in and buy a new car with the son the dealer would give one to the son to have. Hope this helps you some.
