Salvinos kits.

Does anyone know if these producers of Nascar Models going to produce any pick-up kits?

I know one dealer and when I see him next week I'll ask him. I still have a decent stash of trucks to fall back on. I think the last ones came out in 1995, I picked up a bunch at a close-out store around 2003 for less than $2.

Cheers Bob. I wish we had open stores and the volumes of kits, but not here in the UK.

NASCAR race trucks??  Not sure but last time these kits were made were they made here or in China??Salvinos only bought the tooling that was in ILL at the time Revell Monogram went belly up.

Outside of shows and of course eBay, I have not seen a truck kit in stores in a long time. We had a close-out store that had tons of various kits. I bought up maybe 20 Louisville Ford box trucks, well over 50 of the green Craftsman (Quaker State) trucks for $1.97 each. 40 will fit in a shopping cart. 

I had also grabbed those ERTL promo cars, they were $3 each then 2 for $5. On eBay I had 2 guys in a bidding war over a '68 Corvette that I had clearly advertised as being issued in 1995. That topped $60.

Ertl did a '70 Corvette retro promo, not a '68.

The prices are right but to import one is nearly $30!
