Read on the HH Message board that Dave Burkett got the go ahead to do the Mr. Norms 69' Charger. Good news.

Maybe someone can post a pic of that art from back in the day?

I asked on that board last month if that kit could be done and I was assured, by the boards owner that this kit was gone.

I think it is a conspiracy to get me to pay big bucks for origionals LOL.

I understand the kit was broken and could not be run but Burket has PAID to fix it. Good stuff!

Interesting..is this a funny car? I had read somewhere that Dave was planning to do a '66 Charger FC.

[GMP440]

He is also doing the 66' Charger. It will be the Roger Lindamood Color Me Gone car.

So, this one?

[Dave Van]

Neither of these happened after the ownership change at R2 (RC2) R2 does not allow private issues any longer......

Beg pardon - HH message board?

Who knows..keep in mind the original post in this thread is from over 10 years ago.  I can see how they could use the DOH/CC Charger body and trim with one of their funny car chassis and engines to build this, though...

Holy Cow! I didn't see the post date!! Whoops! 

But, today on Instagram, R2 posted a pics of some tooling that they have no paperwork on and don't know what it is yet. So, maybe?

I saw the original post date.

 

Thus my question did the tooling exist back then?

Dave Burkett spent a lot of money restoring molds during the RC2 era. I helped on a number of them. The NASCAR 72 Monte Carlo required a new body mold. I sent a mint body to China and they cloned it along with a few other missing parts. 

I do not know what these two funny cars needed at the time....it may have been a lot....why we have not seen them.

That's the MPC Chevy '67-'72 mold with the tow truck parts.
