Gimme 5 automotive subjects you'd like to see reissued

[Snake45]

We haven't seen the AMT '63 Vette roadster in many years. It should be brought back with ALL the optional tops--soft, hard, the clear top and the panel wagon top from the '67 issue, and the custom fastback from the '64.

And the rotating headlights.

If Revell can release the pickups, why can't we get these? Any of them, with stock decals - Please!

All these requests for certain kits are nice and all but today its what will make money..You've got to be able to make various different models of certain kits to make money..The new Chevy II wagon sounds like there will be another version..The release of the 59 Imperial was one of one and did very well..Where I live in Canada it was very hard to find one..Moebius did well with their Hudson (which I don't know how because they are ugly) but they made several models out of one mold, same as the Ford trucks and the 55/56 Chrysler..Who knows, maybe someone will continue to make new molds..End of rant..

MPC ‘69 Firebird/TA 2n1; with nice new box art, decal sheet, and white letter tires.

How about this oldie?

Let's not forget that we're not talking about making new molds here.  This is about getting existing moulds out of storage and shooting some more plastic through them, so your break even point is a lot lower.

IIRC in the '90s Revell-Monogram did some re-tooling, so kinda wonder if the tool still can eject this version.

If they can't do the 4x4 version, it probably be done with the chassis parts from the GMC snow plow kit.

I do like this better than the 2wd version we've been getting lately.

Well I am building this van from the 77 chevy van which is the same body and Im using some driveline parts from the plow truck kit.

I did start a post in the Wip section a while back but is has been slow moving.

GMTI !!?

Stumbled upon a fact while researching elsewhere. Looks like this kit came out in 2007, and hasn't been reissued since. This would be easy money for Revell

[iamsuperdan]

My tastes are definitely little different than most posted in this thread.

Personally, I'd like to see the following.

Tamiya:

• Audi quattro Coupe
• Ford Sierra XR4i / Sierra Cosworth RS5000
• Mercedes C Class DTM cars (there are 5 of these in various liveries)
• Porsche 911 Turbo Flatnose
• Volvo 850 Turbo Estate
• Volvo 850 BTCC - both sedan and wagon

Fujimi:

• Porsche Gembella Avalanche
• 911 Carrera 2/4/RS/Turbo/etc - 964 generation - there are at least 20 different versions, I'd buy any of them.
• Toyota Mk1 MR2

Going out of the country: pretty much the entire Italeri Ferrari line.  California Spyder, 250 SWB, 275 GTB and 275 Spyder N.A.R.T., Daytona and specifically the Daytona competition kit.  Ferraris are always popular and these kits, while not perfect, come closer to accurate replicas.  I'm thinking specifically the 250 SWB vs the Esci version.

I would probably say yes to most of your list but a big definite YES on the Volvos. I have the BTCC wagon but I would love to get the sedan for a reasonable price and the Turbo Estate as well.

Those haven't been seen since the THE Cat issue of the late '60s. 

If the molds for the interior parts of the '65 Nova still exist, that one could be brought back. We have the chrome, the windows, the hood, and the body still has all the nameplates and trim; just need to "un-alter" the rear wheel openings, which shouldn't be too hard. Plop it all on the chassis from the new '63 Nova wagon, done deal!

I actually have the Turbo Estate, but want another. I build both BTCC cars back in the day, but both were tossed along with almost everything else I had built. If only I knew then what I know now!

Yeah, that would be - Don't toss out anything!!!

I actually have the Turbo Estate that I found in decent built condition some years ago at a kit show. Got it cheap, I had no idea that they were so valuable!

I like oddball cars, and this one is cool.

[robo37]

It be nice if they would they havent been out in a while

[Sledsel]

I could go for the Roadrunner for sure. The Monte would be cool but I think it became the SS later

The Impala is cool, but I have several.

I'd like to see these personally...

I could go for the Monte and the Caprice, built the Caprice before back in the late 90s when it was rereleased. 

[catpack68]

I would love to see that Wheeler Dealer Monte Carlo released but wasn’t that tool modified? I would like to see that MPC 71 Road Runner released too.

[GMP440]

These 2 would love to see.

[Richard Bartrop]

I was pleasantly surprised by Round 2 bringing back the 1932 Imperial convertible coupe, so how about the Stutz and the Thomas Flyer?  Heck do the Bearcats TV version for the people who are into that sort of thing.

[Dave Van]

A few RR's for me!
