1972coronet Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I'm willing to bet that the Road Runner [sic] will be around soon-ish. There seems to be a 50/50 split between those who desire a 1971 and a 1972 - both are similar in 1:1 anyhow. I'd be keen on the Imps coming back as well. I don't have me finger on the pulse of the Chevrolet B-bodies' popularity, though those two would seem to be quite popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrb124@sbcglobal.net Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Would be fun to get those 427 powered SS full size cars. Maybe some day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P51Mustang Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Roadrunner - Yes, 71 or 72 would be great! Also, Early-Mid 70's 2nd Gen Firebird/Formula/Trans Am would like to see being made. (Similar in promo style to the recent 68 GTO kit, that would be fantastic!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I had the '68 kit with the trailer, IIRC I never even painted either of them. MPC had some awesome kits back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 The 68 and 69 Chevy have to be on Round 2’s list. The did the 67 so they have a good start on these variants of that tool. Both would be blockbusters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I have never understood why someone hasn't redone the '68 Impala. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doorsovdoon Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Didn't the '69 become the '70 when it was an annual? The current AMT Fire Chief Impala. Wouldn't take much to make it a '69 again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could clone the ‘69 body, hood, bumpers and interior, I’d be all in for that. Edited December 8, 2023 by mikos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have me finger on the pulse of the Chevrolet B-bodies' popularity, though those two would seem to be quite popular. The lowrider crowd would keep the supply small. Just look at how hard it is to find one of the Revell Caddy lowrider kits. , , and late '60s Impalas are much more popular with them then a late '70s Caddys ever were or will be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's the same in model car manufacturing but in 1-1 car manufacturing they use various plugs in the main mould to change certain trim levels of the same part.

Tabbysdaddy Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 My LHS had the Cadillac lowrider on the shelf last time I was there. I also have the donk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonhawk1066 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 '74-'76 Firebird/Trans Am's would be extremely welcomed! Maybe a kit with two hood and/or scoop options and wheels and decals to make either/or!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickRollerLT1 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) The MPC kits are different than the AMTs. AMT's started with the '65 year which was completely different tooling with molded in front suspension and exhaust, and then they did a new tool for '67 that was updated up to the 1970 year (the current form reissued to this day). The MPC tool started in '65 and underwent cosmetic/body changes throughout the years. Unlike AMT, MPC did annuals up to 1976 with the Caprice being the last and the most recent form reissued today. I doubt they'd modify the 1990s tool '67 again since they had difficulties converting that to the 4 door "Baby' for Supernatural.

carnut Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I would really like to see the 69 Impala reissued, I also could go for the 68 impala too. Personally, I’ve seen my fair share of Camaros, Firebirds, as well as mustangs although a good 79 or so Camaro I wouldn’t mind. I know that’s what sells in the marketplace. I also would like to see a 67 Galaxie or a 66 Pontiac Bonneville or how about an early 60s Mercury full-size, those would be cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconovaman Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 The 68 is probably the toughest ask because the molds did become the 69... and the 69 did become the 70. I believe with the success of Round II we could see a project evolve, if they had the original mold specs. Any chance we could see these ...Wish granted 😆 Holy Grail kit. The 71 Plymouth will likely be back in the future. It's more recent than the Impalas. I built this kit in 88 I believe... I remember it being a pretty easy build. I liked it. I'd build it again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) Should Round 2 choose to eventually reissue (or freshly clone) their '71 GTX/Road Runner tool, this is one way you could build it. This one used the 1987 yellow plastic reissue of the original kit, with the added 1/1 mid-year canopy vinyl roof and kitbashed wheels/tires replicating the (then) hi-buck aftermarket BFG Radial T/As on the optional 15"x7" Rallye wheels. Paint was MCW 1970 1/2 and 1971 Sassy Grass Green single stage (rubbed out and polished, without clearcoat). IIRC the painted dual racing mirrors came from a different Mopar kit that had a more realistic rendition of those parts. Would certainly be nice if we got a chance to build these again from fresh kit releases, either in 1971 and/or 1972 replica form....TB Edited December 28, 2023 by tim boyd 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaina Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I offer the 68 impala in 3d printed kit form. I can do it in a 2door, 4door and wagon. Also have the 68 belair and caprice available. So if this kit never gets reissued then this would be one option. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
