I bet it feels pretty good to know you kept it all these years doesn't it ? I've got some builtups I've had for maybe 35 years . And there isn't a snowballs chance they're going anywhere in my lifetime

Ditto

Just pulled the one I have and did a test fit on a partially assembled Johan Hemi from the 71 Cuda and it fits it like a glove. I have a couple of the new 1970 Cuda kits.,,but nothing assembled If I get time this week,,,,,,,,, I assemble the long block from that kit and see how well it fits and report back. Sorry,,I don't have a single one of the 1/24th scale Revell/monogram kits to ck and see how it fits those.( I try my best to stay all 1/25th scale if at all possibile to keep the dispaly case uniform,, ( ,yes I admit I am a scale snob ))

Been folowing this one for a while. and don't rebember reading along the way. Are you replicatiing any particular car from the era or ????? This would look so cool in Glidden colors

All I got is,,,,,WOW. And I can't wait to see how you tackle that perforated rear window.

Cool build. If I may ask, why the blue engine. ? I know pics of this car back in the day can be a bit tough to find. But every pic I've seen of this car the engine was orange

I know they had a 340 car,,but don't know what class it ran. And I dont think the car ever had the typical red - white and blue S+M paint scheme. Best I can remember the car was all white. But I could be wrong.

I got one last summer form someone,,just don't remember 100% who it was. Ck with Sean to see if it was him http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showuser=7830

on a similar subject. Anyone happen to know who owns the 1/1 car ? is it the actual car from back in the day ? If privately owned I assume it's on some kind of semi-perminant loan .

Thats an article I've never seen before. And that is the 1st time i have ever seen a picture of the 1970 Cuda with anything besides the six pack style scoop on it. Right click save, Many thanks for posting it.

Replica of my old 1969 GTX hardtop. 1/1 car has been gone for years. But I do still have the model

Whole engine is out of the AMT 1971 Duster

I haven't picked one up yet. is the hood scoop accurate to the actual car. ? To me in pics it doesn't look like a sixpack scoop

I can't speak for how rare if at all the others are . But when I found the Turbine car ( probablly 5 or 6 years ago ) . I had never seen one before . Since then I've seen several of them . And they don't seem to bring big money ,, I have less than $30 in mine. And I was pleasently suprised when it showed up and it worked. I think there are some AM music stations,,,,,but It's mostly talk radio and sports. It looks nice in my case next to my original Turbine car promo

or one that work for both the Revell 1970 and the Johan 1971 Cuda kits

Pretty please ?

I'de be in for several

I have the Chrysler Turbine Car. And it works

I think it's cool if they are considering a re-release. I would buy one if just for the cool factor But IMO, I think a much better looking ,,aka,,, more accurate build can be done with a resin ( or modified plastic ) body and a polar lights chassis .

Very well done. One of my favorite cars of the period . I was pleasently suprised when this kit was released . as the chassis is this particular car only.

All the Polar Lights funnycar kits chassis are the same . That said they are pretty straight forward just pay close attention to the instructions. As far as keeping it straight , I use a metal sliding ruler with 2 sliders on it to keep everything straight and true side to side. Sorry, I don't have any in process pictures of any I've built

I have the add that this picture is in,( no idea where right now ) and IMO, the grille and ft valance are airbrushed on. In print something just doesn't look right . And this is the only picture I have ever seen of the 1971 car with the sixpack style scoop. So in my gut I think it is the 1970 car just airbrushed to show the all new 1971 ft end

The american buying public did. The average buying John Q public could care less with how long it's going to last. The problem today is the average buying public wants it now and at the cheapest costs possibile. As opposed to our parents generation. Back then we wanted to know how good was it and long it was going to last . NOT how cheap is it and how fast can we get it . There for to compete the average manufacturer has to look at ways to compete with overseas manufacturing costs. To do so on the world stage business's have to monitor overhead to remain competitive. In some cases ( not all by any means ) that requires they look at off shore manufacturing.

Based on whats writen here, It appears to be more a case of paying for an item and never getting it ,,,, more so than just slow shipping.
