ChrisPflug Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I usually stick to the much more economical rebuildable projects and reissues of these- but there's just something irresistable about the crisp, bright white plastic of an old MPC annual Can take a break from accumulating 71-72 Plymouth B bodies- have enough kits to build each factory engine/trans combo of the 71 GTX and 71-72 Road Runner as well as an extra '72 Sebring Plus and base Sebring coupe (remember the ad with the blue Road Runner and almost identically equipped Satellite coupe as a mirror image?)- also enough kits to cover every factory color offered on the 71-72 B bodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 A '57 Nomad - what a ride. I'd drop everything I was doing or planned to do with model building and get that puppy back on the street. Excellent looking ride, Shane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt francis Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 WHAT I GOT TODAY Let me give you a little back ground to this story. I was checking out craigs list and I found this listing for models so I write him and asked him if he still had them so he asked me my name and come to find out it is a old friend from thirty years ago that I hung out with. Well we met at this Gas station and we got a cup of coffee and hashed old times, 2hrs we sat under that tree and it was like I was twenty again and time just melted away, So now we are going to keep in touch and get the families together and he says he has a bunch of parts boxies and old paint that he wants to give me....What a great day !!!!!
