I would love to see a 1/25 scale 73-74 Dodge Dart Sport,a 1/25 scale 70 Dart Dart 340 Swinger and any boat tail Riviera kitted.

Add a 73 Swinger to that.

[Richard Bartrop]

A '71 Riviera?  Yes please!

I'm a big fan of the fuselage era Mopars, and there's something about the Mercury Marauder X-100 that I really like.

If we want to talk about European cars with big American V-8s:

The Jensen Interceptor is probably the best known Jensen model, and it's beautiful to boot.

The Iso Grifo.  Come on, just look at that face.

Do you think we could talk Heller into doing a Facel Vega?

 

Seeing how neither Round 2 or Moebius want to do new car kits, maybe the best hope for new muscle cars is to keep reminding Revell's new owners that there are still all these Americans who want to throw fistfulls of money at them?

I like all 3!!!!

The 1970 Swinger 340 could serve as the basis for a 2-in-1 kit  ; the Canadian Swinger Special 340 of 1971-1972 ! Just put the 1971-1972 rear bumper / tail lamps setup in the 1970 kit -- the base interiors are shared between those years .

I would love a 70, 71 Sport Fury. Add me to the list of wanting one.

You would think Round2 would pick up on the need for a 68 Coronet if you look at all the posts on here!

I saw today that Southern Motorsports Hobbies has a resin repop for the reasonable price of $40.

Iso Grifo in a MOTION 427

I like the styling of the mid '70s Iso Grifo, which had a Ford 351 Cleveland.

That's pretty sharp looking, except for the model of the parking garage sitting on the hood. Lose that and we'll talk.

I guess their wasn’t enough space under the hood.  The earlier 427 ones had that hood w the earlier front end, as did the 454 ones.

     I think eventually we will see a 68 Coronet R/T come out by either Revell, Round 2 or even Moebius; despite what the naysayers say.

I would love to see Revell take their newest Cuda kit and make a 1/12 scale version.

One that nobody is talking and would make a great kit is a 1968-69 mercury cyclone

Mentioned twice in the first page.  All the Mercury muscle cars are severely underserved.
