So, these two were the ones hard to get back in the day? What about the rest of them; were they good sellers as well?

Thanks for the clarrification. Was this a series of drag cars that AMT did or them just randomely releasing each kit over the years. When was the last year of the original releases? Would love to see Round 2 re-release the rest of them.

Didn't know there were 14. Looks like all have been reissued except for these: The Corvette, Time Machine Chevelle, the Streaker F-85 Cutlass and Unreal Edsel.

When AMT did the series in 67, where these the only cars in the series or were there others: The Unreal Edsel, Mustang GT, The Time Machine AWB 65 Chevelle,, The Streaker AWB 64 F-85 Cutlass, Mad Mackeral Barracuda, AWB 64 Falcon, AWB 67 Cyclone, Chevy Nova Twister and AWB 63 Tempest. Were there anymore or just these? I know a few of these were reissued. Just wanted to know more on the history of this series. Thanks.

Anyone know when Round 2 is going to announce the mystery kit. Maybe they can show a part to give us a hint?

Here is a pic of the Chevy ll Restomod box art. This was in the Moebius Chevy ll first look thread.

Wanted to ask what would be the correct color for the chassis? Thanks.

I agree with you My gut feeling too is either the AWB Time Machine Chevelle or the AWB 64 Olds F-85 called the Streaker. I'm leaning towards the AWB 64 Olds Streaker.

My response to the 3rd and 4th statements in paragraph 5. That's exactly the difference between the military modelers and the car modelers.

Steve, you hit the nail right on the head. I just wanted to add that this is the most cost effective way for Round 2 to release subjects that we have been requesting for years.

Yes, that's the cost effective way to do it.

That one was reissued an number of years ago by the Model King ,aka Dave Burket.

It's a good possibility. The drag version of the 69 Coronet, "The Super Hemi" would be a welcome subject. But, I think the mystery kit could be something for the altered minds thinking out of the box. But, who knows.

Think of it this way. I figure 1967 was a key year. The streakers would have 2 years streaking practice in preparation for the big Woodstock fest coming up in 69. And, think of the drugs that took effect messing up everyone's minds back at that time. Perfect time for that to happen. I bet those people will relive that again if they could.

I bet people would freak out if they saw a sreaker.

More speculation

Well, any word on anything ? Hopefully Round 2 makes their announcement very soon.

You're right. Just saw the date on the box. Model King 64 Comet was released in 2005.

That one was announced about a two months ago. That's the same kit that Dave Burkett aka The Model King helped get out about 8 years ago.

Those would look great on a diorama clearing a grassy field for runway ME-109's or FW-190's parked in the background.

I saw the pics of those too. Lot of good stuff coming out. Wes's Model Car Corner should be getting the Garbage truck at the end of this week,

Don't lose hope. Keep letting Round 2 know of your request.

Actually, I was one those that was banging his head against the wall because Round 2 wasn't reissuing the 68 Coronet. For years, I was mailing letters and emailing Round 2 requesting for them to release the 68 Coronet kit. I also, was from time to time, bringing this topic up to stir interest on this kit subject. I agree with the fact, it's not because they don't want to, but I think maybe the feasability years ago wasn't there because of the cost to redo tooling and or redo masters. Now it's feasable. 3d prototyping, the ability of re-engineering kits is making these lost oldies come back to production . Am I wrong or right? I don't know. But, that's the direction Round is taking now. What's happened now within the last year or two; 2 64 Cutlass kits (a convertible and hardtop), 63 Chevy ll wagon and another 63 Chevy ll wagon with trailer kits. My gut feeling says we'll see other surprises coming down the line of subjects that builders will be doing back flips over when they are announced. Round has recognized that their builder market is into the early 60's to early 70's subjects. Great news for most of us. Lets continue supporting Round 2 by buying their kits and emailing them our requests. They see this message board. They do listen. A couple members here consult with them and we truly appreciate that support.

I agree. I still have my Tom McEwen Revell/Army rear engine dragster from 1974. The build nice with all the wiring that comes in the kit. Also, that kit came with the Tom Mc Ewen figure.
