  1. Yea!. Can't believe some of what I Have been able to get Cheap! I do have 2 of them and one of the Stock Plynouth, but Neither has the 6!!! Got them that way in trade! Another reason to hope for Round2 to re-issue these. They Might include all the different parts in One box! Stock & Hemi grill, Wedge, Hemi, Street & 6 engines, suspensions, tires etc. Maybe only generic drag decals, but the PARTS!! After all, they Did do that with the 60 Galaxie Starliner, & 62 Catalina SD didn't they?? And the Never released Custom 62 T-Bird version included in that re-issue!
  2. I did not get the 1/20 Gremlin (mine is a Mini-Lindy) But did get the Original issue oversize Vega. Not many more parts than a Matchbox/Hot Wheels size Mini-Lindy!! I Would like to find it in my stash though!!
  3. Not for me!! Never see them for under $20.oo + shipping which is usually 10.oo!!!
  4. Hope they re-issue them again some time soon.
  5. He sells on e-bay too. "dmills1914" is his seller ID.
  6. The Ramcharger's Only has the Hemi grill. I have one and have opened it to look.
  7. Yea, They did that 1/350 scale Enterprise, but that is not Automotive. Though I am a TREKKIE (Roddenberry's word) and would love one, I don't count Sci-Fi kit here unless they are also Automotive.
  8. The commercial above is from Brazil
  9. I did the "Golden Tokens" from MPC. Got the "Christie" fire engine that way. Never heard about the AMT UPC code or Monogram Instruction page programs. Not sure I would have cut up my instruction sheet then anyway!!
  10. Don't think that will happen. No New tooling from Ropund2 since the Batmobiles!! Maybe Some one Will do the SceniCruiser though!!! I would be happy with them in 1/32 like the Many Japanese Buses!! Or even Just Re-issued!!!!
  11. Still, that is enough info to know you got a Kit!! The Promo would not have been 'Unassembled" like that I have 7+ of those Hubley/Gabreal Diecast kits. all three of the 32 Chevy's, 2 Packards, Ford Woody & Roadster. Yes that have flash, More so that plastic kits (They did include a File) I built all but the Ford A Roadster, and had little trouble with them. Just like the Revell Old tool 55-57 Chevies!!!
  12. I have seen the Cosma Ray Vette, and almost had a couple Builts of the Mannix Roadster. Believe it or not, that is why we will not get MPC's 67-69 Olds Toronado back. That is what is left of the annual.
  13. On that Funny7 car body, since the sides are so flat, I would glue some Sheet styrene behind it. .01 .015, or .02 inch, depending any interior piece that needs to fit. run it as far across the side as possible, then fill the gap with .02 or .04. I personally would use the thinner and layer it for greater strength. I have a Prestige 63 Galaxie like that. Smaller gaps, but more. I cut it apart, and used the windshield frame area to repair a Promo!
  14. 2 separate trucks. Long box is 71 XLT, short box is 69 Custom. First 4 pic's are Shortbox. Notice too Dog-dish caps on thos 4 pics. Longbox first pic is #5, notice Full hubcaps!!(Simulate 5 spokes)
  15. Forgot the Vega, Think I have a Gremliln too
  16. That 62 does look like a Kit not a Promo. I have seen them shaped like an upside down banana, or Camel's Hump!!! Do you have the Instruction sheet or box for that one?? You are correct, that a Promo did not have the accessories like push bar on the front bumper or Tow hitch on the rear
  17. I don't remember them being molded in colors. I have the 57 Chevy Convert, And had both 55's hardtop & convert, but traded them. All were molded in White. I bought the 57 Convert New in Pittsburgh in late 79-early 80 Yes AMT offered these. I think the line included 55 Chevy Coupe, Convert & Nomad, 57 Chevy Convert, 57 T-Bird, and I think a 64-6 Mustang These kits had opening doors.
  18. Not in these. The Stock version is a Separate kit. These were the first 3 kits, the Stock was #4
  19. Got several of those too. Never did have the Lincoln Mark or Eldorado, but Do have the Boat tail Riv!!! How about the Pickup with Camper that started out as a Ford, then magically became a Chevy!! Have some of those too. MG, Packard Dual Cowl, Jeepster, Mail Truck, Cement Mixer, American LaFrance Open cab Pumper (have one of those in the Original Box!) VW Van camper, VW Beetle, Ford COE Semi tracotr/trailer GMC Tow Truck, Ford School bus, the SceniCruiser (Greyhound), Model B Utility Pickup 32 Ford, I have a LOT of these!!
  20. I have several of that. It is still the Pyro kit!!!
  21. I have seen a few of those. Once at an auction, butt hey were combined in a box lot 4 or 5 of them. Went more than I wanted to pay
  22. Since many caster's say to use Wesley's Bleche Whyte to Clean the mold release they also say to use that for paint stripping. Not sure about getting it now though, I read on here that it had been dropped, and maybe had a new name & owner. DO NOT try Brake Fluid. it will Melt resin!!
  23. Yea, The CMG has a Standard grill, Both the Ramcharger's & Maverick have the "Hemi" grill. I myself have the Ramcharger's & CMG kits. First thought about building the CMG Stock till they announced the Stock version of the kit!
  24. never saw it in stores, but have seen it listed on that evil place every so often. Goes very High too!!!!
