The reissue was out longer than the original issue.  It's a unique car, it's only going to appeal to X number of modelers.

These were on the clearance rack at Hobby Lobby last Friday. Maybe you can score one.

I picked one up at Hobby Lobby about a month ago. And have it on the bench now actually. All I can say is the decals for this car dont like to play nice.

Getting the large one over the rear wheels with all the compound curves isn't fun. Ive got on side on and it stick s where you lay it, attempts to move it around only makes the decal split apart

I have an original and a couple of re-issues. It is a very cool kit of a very unique car and there is the problem, it is unique only to that car. Kit bashing can be done, but, it is basically a modified Young American/Garlits car. Those are more easy to kit bash.

It may not necessarily be discontinued, it's just that one retailer will no longer be carrying it.  They drop kits from their stock when sales start to slow down, because they can put something else in that shelf space that turns over more quickly.

I don't show it disco'd (yet) from Round 2 but I doubt they make any more.  It's been out nearly 2 years and has not sold well.

actually, Brett,,,,that prompts me to ask a question to you pertaining to sale's and such......I have no doubt this kit would not be a great seller, but going by your sale's and all, what would you say has been, or is the strongest selling Round2 piece of the drag/ muscle car 1/25 scale kit's......thanks, the Ace....

We've changed our site platform a couple times so I can't really compare total sales overall, but I know the best selling muscle car since it was reissued is the '67 Impala (most likely due to the Supernatural TV show)  Sell tons of those. For drag the Tyrone Malone Super Boss truck (& hauler) is doing very well right now. It's not a car, though .  The Prudhomme & McEwen rails are doing alright if you want actual "cars". 

Since Round 2 took over it's probably the 67 GTO. I know it's a crappy kit but it's cheap, it still sells well and has been in their lineup since the beginning.  If you count it as a drag car the 66 Nova pro street would be the top drag car for the same reason as the GTO.  For actual drag racer replicas it's hard to say since I can't see old sales but it might actually be the Super Boss truck or maybe the Ohio George Willys.
