Johan kits.

[Mark]

The only newly produced kits in the Okey era are the Rambler wagon and Chrysler turbine snapper.  The others (Plymouth police car, '70 442, Comet drag car) were pieced together from already molded items that were included in his purchase of the tooling (he didn’t buy the company, only tooling and some of the parts stockpile).

I remember those - last time I saw them was about 20 years ago :

- 1969 [?] AMC Machine

- 1970 [?] Comet ; not sure if the same year Maverick was around concurrently ?

- 1971 Barracuda 

All were in 'contemporary' livery (i.e., Pro Street... with fugly rims) and in Testors packaging. IIRC, that's about the time that Spiro Agnew (or whatever his name is) got involved in an ostensible capacity (the c.1957 Rambler Wagon, and the promo-style Chrysler Turbine - not sure if others were issued).

I have a Cadillac Saville (or whatever their name was) era re-pop of the 1968 Plymouth Fury I Pursuit.  

I believe the lineup was: 

'70 Olds 442

Rambler SC labelled "Pro Street"

71/2 Comet labelled "Pro Street"

69 AMX

I also think the Fury Police car was released under the Jo-Han label around 25 years ago when Seville Enterprises owned Jo-Han

The ‘71 Cuda was also released in the Pro Street box (green car on box) and the HSO brown box with the metal wheels (yellow car on box).

Yup, now I remember. Thanks for jogging my memory

'65-'67 Barracudas were AMT, '68-'74 were MPC.

Mark is 100% correct.  The '65 to '69 tool was the same one (albeit with year to year updates), and with a new body added in 1967.  The tool switched from AMT to MPC branding for the 1968 model year and continued there for 1969.  The 1969 kit just reissued by Round 2 still uses some parts dating back to the original 1965 annual kit.

Who has the Rambler prostreet tooling and the Testors 71 drag Comet tooling?

[Mark]

Unknown.  One of the Testors-boxed kits I have (Comet, I think) has "manufactured for Testors by SeVille Enterprises" in the fine print on the box.  So, theoretically, it should have been part of the property Okey received.

But it's generally acknowledged that he didn't get everything he was supposed to get.  No specific information is general knowledge, but I have heard about the Comet/Maverick, '69 AMX, '70 442, and others having "disappeared" with nobody knowing or admitting exactly what happened.  There's no concrete information out there, only speculation.
