Edsel-Dan Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Testor's re-issued a few of the IMC kits in the late 70's in the Historic Fords Series I built the Cougar2, 48 Ford Coupe, Lotus Indy/F1 & Ford Mark4 GT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertw Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I'll play realizing full well that we're living in a fantasy world. 1. mpc 1964 Corvette coupe (mpc's first corvette kit) 2. AMT 1965 Corvette convertible 3. Either the mpc or AMT 1966 corvette coupe 4. Either the mpc or AMT 1973 Corvette convertible 5. Either the AMT Sunbeam Alpine or Sunbeam Tiger (had to throw this is just in case you thought there was a trend developing here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the AMT Sunbeam Alpine or Sunbeam Tiger (had to throw this is just in case you thought there was a trend developing here) 1. The MPC molds are now 1967. Been reissued many times and lots of them floating around. 2-3. The AMT molds are now 1963 and could be reissued as such. Some of the '65-'66 (and '67) custom and extra parts might still be available. 4. Both were made into later model years of Corvette. 5. The Tiger molds still exist and that one could be reissued.

robertw Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yes Snake I know that the mpc & AMT molds have been modified but as I said I'll pretend to be living in a fantasy world where they could be restored to original release condition with correct seats, vents and hoods and extras.. I suspect that someday we will see the Sunbeam kit back since it was last released in the Blueprinter series (I believe in the early '90's). If that were to happen I'd like to see it come with the 4 cylinder that was in the Get Smart kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 These are tools that theoretically could be reissued because, to the best of my knowledge, they haven't been modified into anything else. Before I hear rants on how "that kit won't ever get reissued", bear in mind, this is just my wish list. Feel free to add to it. My only criteria is that the tool hasn't been modified since it's last release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Bartrop Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I could get behind the Imperial and the Corvette, even if the shows they're based on have largely been lost to the mists of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see the Cat Corvette come back because it's what became of the original 63 roadster with the revolving headlights. And they're still there! The Imperial is just too cool. I personally wouldn't mind if they took off all the "Hero" trinkets and make it stock with the pickup options.

Just as long as you can build it stock, I'm not overly worried about the other knick knacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is they engraved all the horseshoes, gun handles, badges and fringe right onto the body and onto the chromed bumpers & grilles - Arrrrgh!

That would be : No the 1968 Impala was from the same body style as the 66/67 Impala's . The 1969 were a completely new body style, and was converted to the 1970 Impala.

Maybe the same possibility with this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1969 were a completely new body style, and was converted to the 1970 Impala. They used the same chassis and engine right up through '76. Also the same chrome tree was reused with the old bumpers/grilles wiped and the new ones added as necessary. Even if the body could be found in useable condition you'd still need a load of new parts created.

Can-Con Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Almost every kit ever made is still out there,, It's just a matter of how bad you want it and if you're willing to pay the price.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
