I remember the "Super" Mini-Lindy's too Box was larger, but Very Similar to the Small scale And Yes Box-Scale Is Correct Same as Matchbox at the time!! Though they did grow from the 50's era to the 60's and 70's Pre-Superfast era Compare an almost 1/87 60 Bonneville Convertible to the 64 Grand Prix!! or 61 Ford Fairlane Police/Fire to the 65 Custom Police/Fire I have Too many of them to miss the scale differences I do not know about a Dodge Dart, But Aurora Themselves (ie Thunderjet Slot Cars fame) had 2 Toy/Collectible versions of they Slotcar Bodies with Diecast Chassis & interior "Cigarbox" deluxe version with the Smame wheels/tires as their Thunderjet And Cheaper Wizz Wheel/Superfast type Speedline I bought a Few Case sets of Speedline at Hecht Co. MANY years ago Some of those has colors bodies like the Thunderjet, Some the colored Chrome-plated bodies I too have a Camaro I believe in Gold Chrome Also 2 each 67+T-Birds & 66-67 Toronados!! There are 1 or 2 purple Chrome in my sets, and a Pink Chrome No Blue, green or Silver (straight out Chrome) I would Love to find those in my attic or bedroom now!!!!!

1/20Would go with the Ford VAn from MPC!! And as a Family Set I too would be interested (plus I have a few of that Van!!!) As to 1/32 kits with Figures I know All of the Revell/AMT 55-56 Annualds had them And Aurora's 56 Ford Demolition Demon included Race/Demo Derby Crew Driver, Mechanic & Flagman I still have 3 Figures in the one I have left Missing 1 Wheel/tire, but otherwise complete

Not sure but those look more like OX power than Mule!!!! Sorry Never had that kit myself.

Have a couple of that Jeepster too Also forgot to add Lindberg DID offer a few Newer pieces I know a ZR-1 Vette was done The Mini-Exotics from Monogram are Too small to be Mini-Lindy's Hel-Jan/Con Cor now owns (or did own) the Mini-Exacts!! The Monogram pieces were Exact 1/87 scale (or VERY close) While Mini-Lindy's are closer to 1/64 Think Plastic Kit Hot Wheels/Matchbox for Mini-Lindy I would Love to find the Eldorado & Continental Mark!!!

I have Several And remember more The Pickup has been Both a Ford, And a Chevy Same body with a Different Grill I have Both versions!!!! I have the Boat-tail Riv,and the 65 era Chevy van One I saw listed was "Station Wagon--Vista Cruise" And Yes, I do hope they bring these back out!!!

Almost All of the MPC Gangbuster kits included Figures Both Lincolns (Pheaton & Convert), Both Chryslers (also Pheaton, & Imperial Convert) too I believe the 32 Chevy lost those for the Hot-Rod parts

I would Love the chance to get the Magazines myself I prefer Old-School But Weight make shipping High Unemployment kills Many a great wish!!!!

I love the Police Cruisers!! I have the 60 Plymouth wagon kit and a FEW of the 68 Fury!!! NOT My MSP though!!! Maryland State Police!!

Yesterday a 64-65 Falcon Ranchero in Heritage Burgandy DARN I want that kit!!!! Too bad all in my price range are in China, Hong Kong or Tokyo!!!!

There is a large empty store her too In fact 2+ in the same shopping Center Olie's would fit in here very well (and be only a little over a Half mile from my house!!!) But 35 miles is Not Impossible to travel We even have Bus service down hjere But $10.oo just to get to the Town Ollie's is in....................... Then a Transfer to at least 1 other bus........................

I would love to add this to the collection I have ALL the first AMT Coca-Cola series but None of the Lindberg!! Nor any of the second AMT series!!

I have the original issue 64 "Fleetside"( tooling design makes it more Cameo) and 2n1 65 Stepside of this tooling The 64 & 66 had the smaller white wall insert tires as in the 59/60 Impala kits The 65, and the Suburban looks to be the same, had the larger BF Goodrich Silvertown's from the 59 Cadillac kits I believe the sidewalls were bare in the 2n1 I have I need to look again, but need to Find the tires as I replaced those with Rubber Firestone Gum Dipped Darlington's (AMT Turnpiker series and some early 60's kit issues!!) I also stretched the frame and went Dually as this build got the Open Road Mini Motorhome body from the Model-King Deluxe Parts Pack kit!!

I have the originals of both, but prefer the solid MPC G70 tire to the larger diameter hollow GT from the kits! They fit the wheel opening better in my eyes Sometimes Bigger is NOT better!!

Remeber though Back when the Daytona & Superbird were Raced, The teams Got Factory Stcck (ie Showroom Ready) cars and added the rollbars etc I do not know if they used Custom Buillt chaasis for them even in the late 70's I believe that came with the Downsizing from 115 inch wheelbase to 110 for the 1981 season I Have seen A Richard Petty Superbird I Do know the Body was NOT altered very much from original Factory Showroom Spec!!! Yes it sat lower, but, Body parts would interchange with a Street version Unlike anything Current, or the Early-Mid 80's at least. Today, even the Brand Specific front clip off a nascar would NOT fit a Factory Showroom Stcck version!!! Give me back the REAL nascar!!!!

I have 2 myself, but Fire service pieces An original TLF 8/18 and an RW-1. I would love the others offered over the years

I would offer to help too But too far away, and NO way to get there LOVE that HLF 20/16 Schlingman. Too bad those German Fire Apparatus kits start at or over $100.oo now!!!! And think I see tail light 'Light-transfer' bars for either 64 Impala or Galaxie original annual kit I have a built Impala convertible needing that and the wires, contacts, etc to add the lights to! See the headlight bars too Oh well. Dreams are Free

I still have most of my original Annual 70--Wish I had the hood though!! Was the grill also re-tooled?? My original has the ring (step-in) shown on the Annual box art above But the First re-issue does not have that detail I can understand the Retro-Deluxe re-issue with a Modified Original box art But Why use the 69 annual box art design on this re-issue??? Would I get another? Yes if I can afford one I would!! I do wish the Police parts were returned to the kit though!!! YES, that was how my original was built!!

They Finally found a way for me to 'Want' that modern Camaro

I wanted that Challenger & matching T-Bird for years (I LOVE Police & other Emergency Vehicles!!!) I Have the Firebird Trans Am And the only complaints I had (and Still have) are 1. that the decal dissolved as soon as it touched the water, (I traced the second Bird decal and painted one on!!) and 2. that the Amber Turn signal lenses were cast in clear RED!! Each tail light was 4+ separate lens pieces The opening doors in that Trans Am fit better than most and do not sag or droop when opened

I wanted this during The Buyer's Choice run, but could NOT find one! And, I have Not seen any as cheap as $20.oo!! Last time I looked...........................................

One thing about those 58 EDSEL Wagon Tail Light Lenses Remember they are Custom Copies and Larger than Stock!!! For an Accurate Stock version, you will need to remove approximately 1/8 inch from the center of the lens I have a Resin Villager wagon and a Kitbash Ranchero in the works and have modified 2 sets of those lenses

This Kit, not seen sine before 1970, has Always had the Missing Engine bay parts, Not Just the Firewall, but Radiator too! Also the tail lights are cast in the Bezels On the body!! Lastly, this has axles more like the Old 58 & 59 Annuals & Promos Very Thick (Approx 1/8 inch) versus the Wire rod axles in the 64 Impala Luckily the ones I have do have Smooth axles and not the Heavy Fluting/gears of the Originals!! Still a nice kit

I have 2 of the Fleetline kit I built Way Back when too!! only got the Wagon body a couple years ago

Darn I have 2 of the M*A*S*H Bell Chopper but None of the other 2 kits from the Series I WANT that Jeep & Swamp with Hawkeye, Hotlips & Radar Figures as well as the Duece & Half with B.J. & Klinger!!

I have the Wagon Body, but need the Interior!! I also Wish More of these would get re-issued!!
