"Excellent ... ha ha ha ... excellent ... !!"

That's a solid drop-top Cad there , Dale ! I don't typically care for Daytons ; however , your utilisation of them here just looks appropriate .

All of those T.V. programme "1972" Challenger and Barracuda convertibles were converted (or , cosmetically updated) 1971 models . Other 'phantom' 1972 convertible Chrysler 'E'-bodies which were featured in T.V. programmes : - Brady Bunch ( 340 / column-shift Torqueflite , GB5 Blue / B5 Blue interior ) - Mod Squad (340 / column-shift Torqueflite , medium gold metallic , black interior , black top , black stripes ** ) ** = the R/T model convertible was dropped by Chrysler for 1971 . The as-specified models received stripes which emulated the R/T stripes , but were a little longer in order to compensate for the lack of "R/T" callouts .

Here's some photos of my two feline companions (my children , if you will ) . 'Molly Anne McCalico' is age 12 ; 'Oliver Nathanel Hawthorne Sabastian' is age 11 .

I'll buy that for a dollar !

I also feel that the backlite (technical term for "rear window") on the resin kit looks too small . Certainly , the existing casting flash could make the specific-to-the-1970-only S.E. shape appear to be too small , as could other factors ( lighting , camera angle , etc. ). It's too bad that none of the fledgling resin casters / artisans have created the coveted 1970-1971 Dodge "W11" 14" Deluxe Wheel Covers ...

That license plate number certainly has its place on a 1987 model year vehicle : "2" = "Golden State" series , passenger car "D" = 1987 calendar year issue The remaining alpha-numeric sequence is *arbitrary* . Here's What I Would Like To See ( In Regard To The Original Post ) : - 1971-come-1972 Barracuda convertible from The Brady Bunch - 1968-1969 Satellite police version (RK41-H8A / RK41-H9A) from Adam 12 - 1974 Monaco police car ( DK41-U4D ) from CHiPs , et al. - 1977 / 1978 Monaco police ( WK41-U7A / U8A ) - 1971 / 1972 Valiant Duel

I'd have no problem giving $35 - $45 for a nice 16th scale kit (think : modified-reissue '55 Nomad from AMT) . For a newly-tooled 16th scale , I'd think that $45 - $60 would be reasonable ( think : all-new 1970 Barracuda ).

"Excellent ... ha ha ha ... excellent ..."

Nice Twin-Six , Pat !

I'll toss my hat into the ring : 1.) Newly-Tooled 1955-1957 Nomad . Perhaps even a modified-reissue of the existing tooling of the old AMT 1/16 scale kits : - New custom version tyres and wheels (those S/ST's and those nasty Good Year tyres from the original must go !) - New custom engine upgrades (the turbo is dated !) - A full compliment of decals 2.) 1970-1971 Barracuda . - Offer both a hardtop and a convertible - All 3 models ( "BH" Barracuda , "BP" Gran Coupe , and "BS" 'Cuda ) 3.) 1971-1972 Demon - 340 and big block options Harry P. alluded to European subjects : 1.) Renault R5 Turbo 2.) BMW M6 (circa 1986-1988) Alpine

Brandon - This is going to be a nice XX29J9B ! Just in case you're interested , Missing Link Resins makes and sells the correct 1969 - 1974 Dodge hubcaps .

Check out that wrinkled quarter panel (just-forward of the wheel arch) ! Chemical Milling has its merits ... and its downfalls .

Thanks , guys .

"easing the heartbreak of psoriasis" , almost made me spit my coffee all over the keyboard ! HA HA HA !

I was just made aware of this tragedy today ; on 6th July 2014 @ 0815 HRS , a long-time client and hell of a nice guy parished in a plane crash (he was the pilot) : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2693498/Father-49-dies-small-plane-crash-two-sons-law-widowing-wife-two-pregnant-daughters.html Eerily , my friend (and coworker ; the Assistant Manager) and his father witnessed the crash on that fateful morning , as they were boating on the lake (which I redundantly refer to as "Lake du Luc") . Apparently , my friend witnessed the "poof and plume" , completely unaware of the nature of the smoke ( ). You will be missed , Doug ! Thank you for , not only your business , but for being a hell of a great guy , too ! "See you when I get there , if they'll let me in."

Permit me to add a couple of more carrots to this stew ; here's a link to the 1974 'Body Tooling Proof' Barracuda : http://barnfinds.com/one-of-none-1974-plymouth-barracuda/ This certainly qualifies as a Body-In-White !

On the opposite end of that spectrum ; my dad (age 77) actually enjoys some of the music in my collection . He really likes John Cale 'Vintage Violence' (1970) , Television 'Marquee Moon' (1977) , Love ,'Forever Changes' (1967) , and Velvet Underground 'Velvet Underground' (1969) ! Your son will hopefully develop an appreiation for Dave Brubeck , etc. That kind of music takes real talent to compose , create , and perform , unlike Beiber , and his ilk .

!!! NICE !!! I've been wanting one ever since seeing one of its modified-reissues in the early 80's . I've come close to bidding on a few of the original 'annual' version , but too often , the kit was started or missing parts ... On a related note ; this looks cool : http://round2models.com/models/amt/chevy-chezooom-corvair

At the local , independent tyre store had a nice , driver-quality 1974 Road Runner coupe ( RM21L4G ) . F8 / F8 / V4W , console , Tuff-Grip wheel , 3.55's , TorqueFlite . This marks the first time that I've seen a post-1971 coupe ( bodystyle "21" ) ; most are hardtops ( bodystyle "23" ) .

Late yesterday , I heard some-thing with a menacing sound ; it ended up being a 1971 GMC Sprint ! Wish that I could've snapped a couple of cell phone pics of it ; however , I was talking on said cell phone to a friend , so I missed out ... It sure was a beauty ! It was painted that typical early 70's GM light-medium gold metallic , and it had those c.1970 Z-28 wheels (dark argent centre with bright argent ring). I wonder if it had the Invader 454 ?

Revell produced a c.1972 Datsun 240-Z in 1972 , and it has been reissued a few times since its introduction ; I haven't seen it since c.2004 . There are rumours of it being reissued some-time this year ...

HA ! A couple of you got the reference ...
