You can get a normal 2,3 out of any Pinto kit....
And we know those are a dime a dozen.

Firecrackers and Estes model rocket motors.
Relive your childhood, eh?
-
can you do that ? Copy Rights and all ?
Ehhh, I don't think that would fall under the Fair Use clause, would it?
-
the only thing missing is the ever changing parts page, why not use my catalog & email me?
So, how does one get your catalog?
-
So, it's on the second page now. Will no one even comment. If anyone is interested in looking at my 3d models, for a truck rim and tire, go to shapeways.com and check me out at DumpsterDaggModels. All comments welcome. Thanks guys. Maybe chiefjoseph might want to chime in if he's not too busy.
Went to Shapeways and couldn't find you. Could be that I'm an idjit, I dunno.

Sometimes I see History. Sometimes I see Potential. Sometimes I see nothing but Parts.

If Revell tooled up a '67 or '68 Camaro, they could literally stretch the tooling out like they have done on the '69!
Dana
Yenko
Baldwin-Motion
Nickey
Pace Car ('67)
Convertibles
Big Block
Small Block
L6
SS
RS
Z-28
Standard
And I would probably buy at least one of each of them, along with many others!
Not to mention the various racing versions; the Penske Trans Am car, Grumpy's Toy Pro Stock and there must be more
-
You guys did see this was a 2007 announcement.....right?
Oh, absolutely! In fact I have two of the reissues. I was just interested in the "Toronado version"
-
I kinda liked the used LS engine option for the 2015 Mustang!
-
I don't agree with your opinions, sorry.
So, what are you disagreeing with and why, or are you just being contrary for the sake of being contrary?

Learn something new everyday!
So the RS without badges except the front grille emblem .. and a 302 small b IS ..
actually a Z28
Thnx for clarifying
Cheers
(we dohn need no stinkin bahdgess)
Right, the RS option (RPO Z-22) is hideaway headlights and special grill, single color tail lights and some other specific trim.
The Z28 option (RPO Z-28) is the 302 ci/290 hp V-8, 4-speed manual transmission, 12-bolt rear. In 1967 there were no exterior badges identifying a Z-28. The "Skunk Stripes" were standard on the 67 Z-28 but were also available across the line, if not from the factory, then at least a very popular dealer add-on.

Beautiful model! Really well done. NOT a Rally Sport.
This is an SS/RS (SS badging takes priority). RS is the hideaway headlights and some other minor trim.
-
The wacko bids have been removed; it sold for just over $51K.
-
$7.74 is expensive? It's less than 1/4 of what the entire kit costs. Even with the $4.83 to ship it it's only a third of the kit price.
I think they saw the 60.00 HKD and went no further.
-
What about a Trabant with a big spoiler?
Harry, now you're just being silly.

i would love to build the "triage" of all 3 will probly nee the most help with the econoline!
"That word; I don't think it means what you think it means." - Inigo Montoya
noun
noun: triage1.(in medical use) the assignment of degrees of urgency to wounds or illnesses to decide the order of treatment of a large number of patients or casualties.I think the word you are looking for is either "triad" or "trio". Still, it's a great idea to build the set. I've never seen the van as a kit; was it done? -
That said, it is a masterpiece compared to the infamous "Thunderflite!"
What is that they say about "faint praise"? While the comparison may be valid that still doesn't make it good.

Contact info?

Is there anyplace we can find a comprehensive list of what you offer? The parts link on your website is unhelpful. Thanx.

I wouldn't say she sucks, she just doesn't deserve the attention the media gives her.
But that's exactly why she's there! Media attention! She generated more attention for NASCAR than any other single driver and that's where she earns her keep.

Jeffs up top may be nice. However his bottom is questionable.
Why are you looking at Jeff's bottom?

You guys are killing me with this. It is OK to butcher a classic Mercury or a classic 30's Ford but touch a 64 Riv and the gloves come off? This is the best looking car that ever came from GM so that must be what all the fuss is about. I keep hearing all the time it take a man to cut a car apart , well he did and listen to yourselves . I do not like the restyle but it is his car not mine.
The biggest problem I see with this we will start to see more of this over the top crazy styles in the future at Autorama.
I guess it depends on your definition of "butcher". Restyling a 64 Riv (or 49 Merc or 32 Ford) is a very subjective thing. I, personally, am in to TASTEFUL restylings. A tasteful restyling can be anything from a very mild custom out to a total reworking of every panel on the car; so can a total "butchering".
Ken Fenical (Posies) once said that "Anyone can restore a car, it takes a real man to cut one up." I propose that it takes a real artist and craftsman to put those pieces back together in an eye-pleasing fashion. Was the builder of this Riv a "Real Man"? Well, he certainly cut that car up, didn't he? Was he a "Craftsman"? He won the Ridler, so he definitely has, as my son would say, "Skills". Did he put the pieces together in an eye-pleasing fashion? That is subjective, but I would say NO! And I would say that if he had started with a 49 Merc or a 32 Ford or a 2013 Honda. His "Artistic Vision" seems to be compromised.

When buying older kits I just take it for granted that the decals will need special attention and even then may be worthless.
-
Sorry guys but this is a very nice car. Just because WE do not like everything on the car does not make it bad.
It won the Ridler! The build quality and execution must be above reproach; that's a given. In my opinion they did a great job ... of building a truly horrendous mess. It is, in my opinion, U G L Y! If we take the 20,000 hours as truth and calculate it at a cheap $80 an hour, it becomes 1.6 million dollars worth of UGLY (and that's only labor). Engineering, execution and quality? It won the Ridler; A+! Styling and taste? Errmm ... D- at best. There is no styling. It looks as though they started with a checklist; "What do contest judges look for?" and then went down the list and checked EVERYTHING on the list. Change for the sake of change; not usually a good idea.
...And yet I can't look away.
