Models of your 1:1 scale ride?

[6bblbird]

I've been able to replicate a few of my full size cars over the years. This was my 2009 Challenger R/T and the replica that I built.

[Flatout]

Beautiful replica Walt…do you still have the real one?

[Dave Van]

My 1999 Concorde from a modified AMT snap kit.

Than you! I traded the 2009 for a 2013 R/T that I still have. The '13 is a keeper. It's got 160,000 miles on it.

The model, and out in my garage a few minutes ago.

Ooops, meant to say "Thank you!"

This is the 2013. I'd like to build a copy of this one but I need to find a shaker hood for it. Don't know if there is a 1/25 scale hood for this car.

Looks  like a perfect copy!  You even found the correct wheels!

'55 210 sedan I owned a number of years back. Model represents the car with full caps and whitewalls, as I added those to the 1:1 at some point, but never thought to get a picture of it with that swap.

I bought this 1974 road runner GTX second hand in 1974. The original owner didn't realize how much gas the 440 used !☺️

They are both beautiful looking. You were able to get the body side stripe and the wheels to match. Building a model of your favorite or present car is always fun. 

[JJ Deuce]

this thread reminds me to get busy on a couple of kits I have to replicate my old cars.

[iamsuperdan]

The only one so far is a 1991 Chev C1500. This is what my wife was driving when we met.

 

Combined one of the AMT 454SS kits with an AMT promo kit. Did some frame stretching, and here we go.

My '98 Mustang GT Coupe that I bought new in July of 1998. As of October when it wuz stored fer the winter it has 10,630 miles. The car has never been in rain, snow, salt, or in dirt and is almost completely original.

The model is a AMT 1997 Mustang GT coupe modified to '98 specs.

Walter...killer car, and nice replica too~   whatever happened to the 1/1?  As you may know, I factory ordered a '74 RR E58 360 hipo....mine lasted 16 years ang 140k+ miles...could have easily gone longer but good ol' Mopar rust did its deed.  I ran Cragar SS type wheels on mine too (except mine were wanna-bes; couldn't afford the real things).....TB 

[tim boyd]

OK, I'm game.  

Replica of my 1/1 2007 Mustang GT convertible....identical to the 1/1 other than wheels...

Replica of my 1/1 scale 1987 T-Bird Turbo Coupe.....

Replica of my factory ordered 1974 Roadrunner E58 Hi-Po wedge....exact even to the factory cruise contral servo under the hood...ps - keep scrolling down past the blank space...) 

 

Here's one I really wish I could have built as a bi-scale model...my 2001 Jaguar XK-R Coupe....(keep scrolling down past blank space...):  

 

 

Best...TB

That '74 was my all time favorite personal car. I think it might be a tie with my current '13 Challenger. It did everything well. As a bracket racer at NY National Speedway, I won so many times that they literally kicked me out! Lots of great memories with that RR.

I sold that '74 in 1976 to make way for a '69 A12 road runner that I recently sold. Gonna show my model version of that one too.

I wish that I could see your photos but whatever photo format that you are using is not being recognized by my mac.

[NOBLNG]

My ‘54 Willys and my replica.

[DanL]

My 70 1/2 Z28 and the model I built last year... not my best work but it's not bad.

[Bills72sj]

I still have my 1:1. My buddy commisioned a wooden version of it in probably around 1:18. I made a 1:25 scale version with a marginal skillset years ago. I even made a 1:64 diecast from a Johnny Lightning.

I now have correct 3D printed rims and another mint unbuilt to take another swing at the 1:25 version.

Those are great! I love the wood GP!

This was my first car (1971) I bought it with the money I saved from my paper route ($750). Can you imagine a kid being able to do that today? The model is how it would have appeared when brand new.

I had a vinyl top put on because it was often mistaken for a NY city taxi! ?
