Roth's Mysterion

Yes Tom I do have to agree that them keeping the molds around instead of just destroying them certainly helped assure his continuing legacy after the immediate social unrest of the time, and aside from the economics of the move, it does show a certain respect for Ed Roth, particularly in restoring and reissuing them. that deal must have been made while he was still alive (?) so he had to get a certain satisfaction from that ultimately.

I'm sure you have read it but his book with Tony Thacker is pretty revealing of his feelings about the Revell situation. Great read and lots of detail on his builds and the role those like Dirty Doug and Robert Williams had in the cars' creation. In many ways Ed was the "concept person" and he left the real work to his cohorts.
