Squarebody Blazer fans. You gotta see this
440 Dakota replied to Mike C.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
sorry nothing to add about the Gecko other than it seems to be older and pricey, maybe one of these for less than 150 ready to run and do a body swap these are all 1/24 http://www.axialracing.com/t/vehicles/scx24 -

scarce Revell Dragonfire 1/8 scale trike parts
440 Dakota replied to 440 Dakota's topic in Trading Post
if he wants it, we can figure it out, just not in very good shape and I figured maybe save on shipping, it is pretty classic though -
scarce Revell Dragonfire 1/8 scale trike parts
440 Dakota replied to 440 Dakota's topic in Trading Post
didn't receive message please try again -
hoping maybe somebody can use these parts, maybe restore an old build or something custom, all from Revell 1/8 trike, basically its the dragon body, seat, headlight, tires and wheels, backing plates, handle bars and exhaust headers not painted very well, rear tires are soft and not cracked at all but are distorted from years of storage, maybe cut down some R/C car foam inserts or sponge, instructions included would rater not ship the box which is in bad shape, looking for air cooled VW, Porsche stuff or trucks, SUVs that kinda stuff

Model Prices vs. Inflation
440 Dakota replied to Lunajammer's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
for the heck of it I just checked the Jo-Han from 1987 $5.97 prices that were posted the other day and only $14.35 today, so yeah I think the models are priced above the inflation curve a bit -

Model Prices vs. Inflation
440 Dakota replied to Lunajammer's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
most of the stuff pictured above was multi kit packs like the custom fun cars by Revell and were $5.97 for all 3 now according to the calc would be $40.24 today its getting to the point were the same old worn out reissues are pushing 35-40 if you buy them in the wrong places -
the Super Coupe wheels would be cool, not sure how noticeable it would be in scale IIRC they were 15x8 wide where the fleet/cop wheels were 15x7

What are some opinions on this?
440 Dakota replied to Brutalform's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'll admit I didn't watch much of the video as that car has zero appeal to me, but what I did see looks about like the Eagle moss cars, where you buy 3 or 4 kit packages that contain a few parts every month, and takes about 3 years to accumulate all the parts to finish at about a 15-16 hundred dollar cost, I sorta looked at the BTTF release when I first seen it, but for me that's too much money for what it is and having to keep track of all the parts and sub assemblies for 3 yrs till complete no thanks too much can happen in that time period, company goes away, lost parts etc, he is a quick read I found about the Eagle Moss cars https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/superbly-detailed-movie-car-scale-models/ -

*Model Car Preference*
440 Dakota replied to Zippi's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
as a kid it was almost anything, then it became anything and everything Mopar then started to branch out to other brands of muscle cars with a few classics thrown in (mostly tri 5) and a bit of drag race stuff. I guess I've built bought traded and sold way to many of those type kits cause now I won't even look at them and haven't bought a kit from those catagories in years and can't think of a single new kit they could make that would interest me, so now its pickups and other lifted 4x4 stuff, air cooled VW, Porsche and big rigs which I have been buying quite a few of -
from everything I've read for years, that second car they used in the Cali shows was a 71 Satellite Sebring plus, not a GTX or RR the Satellite Sebring Plus could be ordered quite loaded up with options, in fact if you google around a bit there are pics of her car having the round Ralleye gauge dash which would have gotten you the wood grain panels like the GTX, look at this pic you can make out the trim around the round gauges also of note is the dash insert above the glove box the vents indicate it was an A/C car, also note the rear view mirror has been removed for filming
