wrecker388 Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I'd go more simple........I'd tool a 77-78 Thunderbird kit done in the style of Revell's 77 Monte Carlo. Curbside model with a few options in the tool to allow issue of a number of versions. Options in the tooling to allow a base model 77 to a top end car with T Tops. This would sell to replica stock, low rider, custom and NASCAR builders. I'd not loose money on it. I'd buy cases!!!Mine would be either the same as Dave's or a 90-94 Astro EXT.

Richard Bartrop Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 A Jo-Han quality kit of the Auburn Speedster.
Mr mopar Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I would have Revell do a full detailed 1970 Dodge Charger 500/ RT with some PE parts ,then get Revell to do 68-69' Dodge Coronet RT. Then have AMT do a 77-80 Freightliner Coe double bunk.and then dig up the old show rod kits koo koo kar,LiL gypsy wagon,LiL Cashbox. Edited January 14, 2016 by Mr mopar
Miatatom Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I will say what I always say............ a large scale Daytona Cobra. +1
Olskoolrodder Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 For mine,see my avatar (along with +2'ing most of the ones already listed too)
MGL Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 1951 Studebaker Commander. Unless somebody beat me to it, then Plan B would be the Reliant Robin. I can't tell if your joking or not but I think I would buy a Reliant Robin. It would really be cool if it included a Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust.
Deathgoblin Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Let's see...Cheetah 1970 Chrysler 300 (my uncle had one, would like to build it)1951 Studebaker Commander (gotta love the old "Bullet Nose")How about a 1971-74 Charger kit, with the extra parts to build whichever model? Or go the Mobius route and just release other kits by just tweaking the molds?
Mr. Metallic Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 56 Lincoln Mark II Series of 1/25 '34 Fords, stock and rod53 Chevy
Richard Bartrop Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Now if we're talking about what I think would sell, as opposed to just what I'd like, I'd probably go with the exotics. Stuff that people fantasize about.se theBugatti Veyron, or even better, the Chiron when it comes out. Possibly a Panoz, or a Keonigsegg
iamsuperdan Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 1951 Studebaker Commander. Unless somebody beat me to it, then Plan B would be the Reliant Robin. I would most definitely buy a Reliant Robin! My grandpa had a green coupe for years. I always wonder what he did with that car.
aurfalien Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I was going to go on about expanding the discussion to forming a model company, buying out old molds from MiniExotics and Fein Designs, hiring ppl on this forum, etc etc...But instead I'll keep it concise. I'd have a full detail of either the Ferrari 312P or 350 CanAm, probably all in plastic but included would be all electrical and hoses etc... A seriously full full full detail kit.

Bernard Kron Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 56 Lincoln Mark II Series of 1/25 '34 Fords, stock and rod53 Chevy Here, here! I'll second that. Especially a 1/25th full detail Lincoln Mark II. How I left that off my list I'll never know! Given what they've been doing, maybe that's one for Moebius. With yet another attempt to salvage the Lincoln brand in progress now Ford could use a miniature halo car...
Dann Tier Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I would Have detailed kits made up of: Lotus Esprit V8, De Tamaso Mangusta, 2001 Jeep Cherokee (like in my avatar), and ALL the early Lamborghinis.
forthlin Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I'd love to see a model of a 1955 Olds. 98 Starfire convertible with a continental kit. My Mom had one of these back in the late 50's. I was only 6 when she got it but I remember that day like it was only last week. It was a beauty.
oldcarfan Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Since Moebius has released one of my choices, I would now love to see a new tool of the various 1957-1966 Ford trucks. I would also love to see the MPC annuals gradually backdated with interchangeable tooling inserts so that they could be released periodically in different year models not just the last one that it was changed to. Some of the Malaise-era cars would be nice too. Pintos, Vegas and Monzas, Oh My! Maybe a nice Cordoba or Ford Fairmont? Yes I know this just proves I am old.

A seriously full full full detail kit.You bring up a good point. I wonder what ever happend to all of those awesome ESCI molds? The Ford Transit, Mercedes G-Wagon, original Range Rovers, etc. Some reissues of those would be fantastic. I would Have detailed kits made up of: Lotus Esprit V8, De Tamaso Mangusta, 2001 Jeep Cherokee (like in my avatar), and ALL the early Lamborghinis.Monogram did a very nicely detailed kit of a Lotus Esprit V8. I found one recently at an antique mall for $10.

Old Nasty Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 DeTomaso Mangusta. Dodge Power Wagon (early flat fender version). Lola T70 MK3 coupe. All in 1/25th scale.

I do have another one that I will build this year. NOT looking forward to it, but its the only kit available.

Also figures about the fit as it's an old Mongram kit.
Mr Stock Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Id get Moebius to tool up a 1960 Chrysler 300F, always loved those cars
Junkman Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I'd have Heller do me a 1/24 scale Rover P6 V8.And a Renault 16. Edited January 15, 2016 by Junkman
Mr Stock Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I'd have Heller do me a 1/24 scale Rover P6 V8.And a Renault 16.A P6 would be very nice
Junkman Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 A P6 would be very nice Tell me 'bout it... Imagine a kit that would allow you to build any of the versions, Series 1, Series 2, 4 cylinder, V8.The two dashboards, each in RHD and WHD, the different bumpers, grilles, bonnets, wheel covers and taillights.Then throw in a police beacon, radio and decals.
