So we finally get a Starsky and Hutch Torino, How about series of TV kits ?


Recommended Posts

Except that John Walton's "pickup" was actually a 1929 Model AA 1-ton Express Pickup--heavy truck chassis, 131 1/2 inch wheelbase, 9' pickup box, single split rim wheels with 6:00-20 truck tires. As for John-Boy's Model A roadster, you can that one out of the AMT kit. Now, Ike Godsey's '32 Ford 1/2 ton panel delivery would be a hoot to have in kit form--think of the possibilities for that one BEYOND the TV vehicle!

Wouldn't ya know that Art would zoom in on my lack of knowledge on John Senior's pickup! Per my foggy memory of not having seen the show in at least two decades.

You'd think he'd at least give me some points for knowing that the school bus was a Corbitt! From frickin' Indiana! :D

That kit sat alone on a shelf for 5 years in my LHS, no one bought it. I think it was still there when they closed down! I don't get it ahhaa

Put that one, the Charlie's Angels kit, or the Kiss van out on eBay in the Rock Memorabilia category and they'll fight over it.

FORD MUSTANG 1987 01/13/2014 03:14 p.m.

That license plate number certainly has its place on a 1987 model year vehicle :

"2" = "Golden State" series , passenger car

"D" = 1987 calendar year issue

The remaining alpha-numeric sequence is *arbitrary* .

Here's What I Would Like To See ( In Regard To The Original Post ) :

- 1971-come-1972 Barracuda convertible from The Brady Bunch

- 1968-1969 Satellite police version (RK41-H8A / RK41-H9A) from Adam 12

- 1974 Monaco police car ( DK41-U4D ) from CHiPs , et al.

- 1977 / 1978 Monaco police ( WK41-U7A / U8A )

- 1971 / 1972 Valiant Duel
