GarryR Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) I have been cataloging some of my stash, and ran across these. I know it is a hard question, but any idea as to the disposition of this tooling? As far as I know, these may have not been reissued since they were released in the 80s. Might Salvinos JR have them?

64Comet404 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 AFAIK, Salvino's doesn't have the IMSA cars. The later Mustangs were revised into the IMSA Camaros, so not sure if they can easily be put back to original spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Yeah, we've tossed around what might have happened to these kits before. The Miller and GTP cars where never altered so if they still exist they might have been in the US based tooling that ended up with Atlantis. The 83-87 body on the Revell kit was updated to the 88-93 body and then to to the blue Camaro body. So if that kit still exists it will be as the Camaro. If we can determine where the last reissue of that car we made we can make an educated guess about where the tooling might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Kourouklis Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Loved those kits, though. By the way, the GTP was an SSP, wasn't it? Missed it in the original run but snapped it up later, as I recall... Also, the same seems true of the '82 IMSA. Just looked up the Roush Motorsport kit and found a box with a 1995 copyright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancheroSteve Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I believe the Ron Fellows Sunoco Camaro (1997) was the last release of what started as the IMSA Mustang (then Camaro) tooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryR Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Thanks to all for the information. I obviously didn’t observe the release activity close enough. Also did not know that the Camaro IMSA kits were reworks of the Mustangs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I built all the 88 Mustang versions back when they came out. I'd sure like to get them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt T. Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I have a Revell Hot Wheels IMSA Camaro here. The box is dated 1993 and states "Made in U.S.A." on the side. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
