Bucky Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I would hafta add that Demon kit my list. I owned a tame '71 Demon....with a 318 CI V-8 automatic. Still a decent running car.
Ich_Will Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I want to do two more Tamiya Rothman's 956 kits...so I have all three numbers. Not much of a stretch but I think it would be fun.
Dann Tier Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 I would have to say; Lindbergs D-type Jaguar, Monograms California Street Corvette, Resin 1/24 Mangusta, Cheetah, and Lindbergs Herbie.

ZTony8 Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Last April I found one of my grails, the Tamiya FW 24. It was the only 1/20th Tamiya F-1 car that I didn't have in my stash. My next choices would probably be a complete AMT '62 Buick Special station wagon kit and an MPC '67 STP turbine car. I ruined the Special as a kid and I recently obtained a built up one. The turbine car I've never had and always thought it was a cool car.

Sledsel Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Pretty simple list for me, 67 Galaxie hardtop, and an old Monogram Corvette (Enjoyed the ones I built as a kid, Didn't need to paint them, and they looked cool)
ewetwo Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 1964 Comet Caliente but we know that's not going to happen. LOL

An AMT (Model King) repop. It was reissued in limited numbers a few years ago & is not terribly difficult to find. So we know that AMT still possesses the molds. It could be reissued again at any time. Steve

Steve They are hard to find and if one pops up on EBay. Final pricing is high. I can’t pay $70 for a kit. But it.was my first car, Black with red interior. Only had a 6 cylinder in it but it was a sharp car.

Renegade Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 My second car. Red on red. 289 engine. Built one to replicate my 1:1 car. Bought when it came out so wasn't that expensive.
Bucky Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 I have a '67 Ford Galaxie convertible rebuilder, and a '69 Galaxie kit, so the '68 Galaxie is on my grail shopping list, too. A bit scarce, and out of my range when I do see one! Another Ford on the grail list is a decent '58. I prefer a kit, but a good ,reasonably priced rebuilder would do.

Bought when it came out so wasn't that expensive. I wasn’t building when it was last issued or believe me, I’d have one. Maybe one day. I’m going to build one of my other favorite carS that I owned. 1964 Galaxies. Light yellow with black interior. 390 4 barrel with auto. That car would move.

I happened to have filed a few pages from old catalogs, been looking for : Testors - Sportstar resin kit 473, don't think they got around to producing it, about the time Boyd died. Airfix - Maserati Boomerang Heller - Bugatti T50 1931Jaguar E Type coupe Otaki - Lamborghini Cheetah I'm not asking for much.

Oldcarfan27 Posted October 6, 2018 Author Posted October 6, 2018 This one is next on my list.... Even if it's just the camper parts, I'd be happy. I already have the window van waiting.

As far as price goes, any time you have a kit that is OOP, you are going to have to pay a price for it. $70.00 may sound high, but it all depends on how badly you want one. You can buy 3 modern kits that you can live without, or you can save your money & buy one that you really want. It's all relative. As they say, you have to pay to play. Or, you can wait & hope that Round 2 re-issues it sometime before we die! Steve
