Someone had posted on that topic about Johan making an announcement that they were going to come out with the 69 Fury kit. Also stated was that there was an actual picture of the kit in the 70/71 Auto World catalog. I found my instruction sheet from the Johan 68' Fury kit. It illustrates what looks like a 69' Fury roof section. This probably confirms that there was some plan to do a 69 or 70 Fury. Someone on another board had mentioned about this picture, so I had to see for myself and they were right. Here is the instruction sheet showing the picture.

Also the Monkeemobile. You were also able to buy promos too.

Here is the pic of the Feverbee. This was the 3rd version of the MPC 68' Coronet R/T. The body and hood molded together. This was the drag car with the Logghe chassis. Even if Round 2 just only found this, most of us would be happy. feverbee.bmp

Here is an order form for the MPC 69 Chargers and 68 Coronets. from back in the day. Notice the large scale wooden 68' Coronet model prototype and pictures of the models being packaged.

Here are the 68' Coronet builtups I aquired through the years. The silver one, someone glued on the custom airscoop and custom grill that was included in the original kit. The black one someone did it with stock hood, grill and used the optional Hurst wheels that came in the kit. What's interesting are the different building options you had back in the day.

Forgot that a promo, hardtop and convertible bodies were produced as mentioned by Biscayne33. I also would agree that one of these has to still be around. What would it take for someone at Round 2 to dig and hunt through their inventory to find out what they actually have? I hope Round 2 is seeing this thread. If Round 2 can produce something, even a drag version; if that's all they have, I'm in as a buyer. I beleive most people on this board would feel the same way too. Round 2 is very agressive in getting kits to production. I think now is a very opportune time for them to do a release of the 68' Coronet R/T. At the rate they are getting kits to production ,we could very well see this happen.

There were no test shots released at the time when Round 2 announced they were bringing back the MPC 68 Coronet kit. This was around 08, when the news came out. They never proceeded with the release. I read that Round 2 did locate the molds/tooling and actually tried doing a shot, but found there was missing sections. Maybe someone in the know could shed a little more light as to what Round 2 found. I vividly remember the announcement on the Spotlight Hobbies message board. Also, I remember that Tower Hobbies had it listed as a future release with a picture of the MPC 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T hardtop box. A lot of people were very disappointed when Round 2 cancelled it. That was a kit that was going to sell very well. I hope sometime in the near future Round 2 will produce this kit. We all have been waiting a long time time for this one.

Looks like everything was ok. I got on the site. Any idea when we will see pics of the AMC Rebel? -

Maybe there is someone you know that can fix the problem for you. It could very well be a situation where a lot of people can't access your website and see pics of the resin items you have. I saw your Fotki or Photobucket site. Can you put pics of the 69' AMC Rebel there and some of your other resin items with prices so at least those that cannot access the website, can instead, see the items on your picture site? -

Tried clicking on the link for your website. It's not working. -
There definetly is a need for pics. But, their products are nothing short of outstanding. I've bought from Modelhaus at the NNL east. Their castings are as good or better than castings from the modelcar manufacturers.

Came across this MPC order form showing a picture of the 68' Coronet being modeled and prepared for production. Very interesting to see some of the process of what was done to get kits into production. What do the companies do with large scale mockups after the kit has finished it's production run? It was a dissapointment to all when 5 years ago , there was an announcement that the 68 Coronet was going to come out again but then was cancelled. I sure hope that Round 2 will go ahead reissue this kit. Never say never, we have seen vintage kits that we thought would never come out again and sure enough they did come out. Maybe the 68 will be on the hobby shop shelves again.

GMP440 replied to tabsscale1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I hope Revell has an all new 1/25 scale kit of the 68' Dodge Coronet R/T up their sleeves.
