AMT Autocar A64B tractor to be reissued again soon.

[Ben]

This is something I read here on this forum. Just wanted to let more people know.

[Jim B]

I'll probably pick one of these up.  I wonder if AMT will Coca-Cola this one, too.

[DRIPTROIT 71]

I'll be getting one of these. I always liked this truck. I've only had one and sold it before I ever built it. I thought that I had quit building. I wasn't building when it was re-released, so I missed it then. Looking forward to this one.

[Truck parts]

I will be looking forward to the kit coming  back out

[stavanzer]

I hope that they add some optional bare plastic wheels to it. The Autocar's just don't look right with chromed front wheels. Either way this will be a 'Must Have' kit for me.

[Force]

Well if you don't want chrome plating it's very easy to remove, it's a lot harder (and more expensive) to do it the other way. 
I'm also going to get at least get one or two of these when they come out.

I don't know I think my REAL 1.1 Autocar A64B looks good with chrome wheels

That's a nice Autocar!!!

Wow!!!  That is one sharp 1/1 scale Autocar!   TIM

Now Round-2 only needs to release the Challenge mixer (without the trademark name, like the Caterpillar 'dozer) and combined with this, will make a stellar combo.

[stavanzer]

Lee, That is one sharp rig! Yes, the chrome wheels look great on your truck.

However, the photo that Luc posted shows the type of truck I had in mind, when I made my comments.

I'll wind up having to build two Autocar kits at this rate.

I wonder when the Paystar Mixer and the Autocar Dump are scheduled for another run. I have a sealed copy of both kits, but would really like to build them with fresh plastic.

Alexis

you or someone will have to build my truck I have no interest in building it the way it is now. I'm the second owner of this truck. I plan on building it when it was bought new. The owner took the spokes off and re-painted it there company colors which it is now. Don't get me wrong I like the colors and paint scheme. If any you guys want to build my truck I will give you colors numbers . The truck is so much like the model it's hard to believe. Glad you guys enjoyed the pics Lee

Or just get a mixer from AITM with an old ACar hood and get this:

Neat!

[JerseeJerry55]

I love the A-64B. One of my favorites from the 1970's.

[leafsprings]

Is anyone working on a front end conversion for the west coast builders?.

[Casey]

AMT 1099, should be available in late June or so?:

[Jim B]

Great news!  Happy birthday to me!

[stavanzer]

Looks like AITM will get an order for resin wheels, the day after my Autocar kit arrives.

 

[vincen47]

Hmmm. Wonder if anyone has ever done a “Over The Top” truck with one of these? It would take some modification, but this could be the start of a cool project.

Interesting version. (Opening sequence of the movie is parts of the Red Mountain Pass road just south of Ouray Colorado, a road I drive on each summer for my vacation stay in that area).

 

[Danno]

Thanks, Russell!   I enjoyed that.

I don't recall the movie, but I certainly know Ouray, Red Mountain Pass, and the entire SW quadrant of Colorado.  Also a frequent flyer.

Can't wait for this truck to get out my 33-year-old Autocar needs a companion
