'70 Grande Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Looks like all the stock parts are there but the body (and glass?). I'd think it would be worth the investment to either convert that body back to stock, or tool up an all-new one.Yep; that's one that I've been waiting a few decades in the hope that it'd happen!

The AWB chassis for the Olds F-85 AWB kit is the same as used with the Unreal Edsel and '65 Chevelle, correct? Is it different from the chassis used under the AWB '65 Mustang, "Rat Packer" Chevy II/Nova, Falcon AWB, and/or Tempest AWB cars, too?

The F-85/Edsel/Chevelle used one chassis, the Nova/Tempest used another. The Barracuda and Corvair use a common chassis. The Falcon, Mustang, and '67 Cyclone each had their own chassis.

Some are downright gorgeous! ^This. Not even interested in building the Craftsman '63 Impala... 1

Bob Ellis Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 On 2/19/2017 at 6:21 PM, Mark said: It was in the '68 kits, then skipped the next few years and reappeared in the '73 Caprice. It stayed in the big Chevy through '76. Besides the big Chevies, it was used in the Mako Shark (only the original, not any of the derivative versions) and the Carl Casper Turbo Shark (a custom '63-'67 style Corvette that used the Mako Shark chassis). This trailer's heritage from 1960-62 AMT pickup kits with added parts.

Deuces ll Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 I just wish AMT would do the 2 axle trailer kit by itself..... I'd buy a dozen.....

Keep a saved search on ebay for "AMT Service trailer" or "Blueprinter service trailer". They pop up often. I have bought them for as little as $15 US. They also pop up at shows frequently. Usually they sell for between $25 and $40. Just have to keep an eye out for them. 1
Casey Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Coming back in 2021, AMT kit #1223, but maybe as the Cal Drag Combo II this time around?: Edited December 9, 2020 by Casey 1
stavanzer Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 Now, can we get them to release just the trailer? Please?
lucky 130 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I may have missed it but does anyone know when R2 is going to release the "Drag combo"?

One a current release, another a soon-to-be-reissued, and the Nova combo...? Here's are John Gruszcela (may have butchered that) comments from 2015 regarding the viability of the AMT combo kits: Daniel says: January 16, 2015 at 5:13 pm cal-Drag combo? Chevelle drag team? Indy Drag combo? Shelby Drag team? Reply JohnG says: January 19, 2015 at 9:52 am Cal Drag Combo: not beyond the realm of possibility but the trailer would require some backdating at the very least. Chevelle Drag Team: can’t reissue as the Chevelle Time Machine AWB was modified into the modified stocker. The AWB chassis used under the Chevelle, Olds F-85 and Edsel “funny cars” was not found. Indy Drag combo: can’t reissue as the Nova wagon was modified into the Boss Nova drag vehicle. Shelby Drag Team: some comments on trailer, ’68 Shelby missing several original parts. 1
