Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs always hit the ground.

Not sure if the Lindberg Kit # 72324 is an 851, but it's certainly a 1935 Auburn Boat Tail Speedster. Got one in my stash!

So long folks!

I think that I would give my arm for a 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix. (NOT THE NASCAR) That is what I have and I will tell you what...I would love to build one.

The 89, 90, and 91 Taurus SHO were produced as a kit by EARTL ( I think) and can be found on e-bay. I woulod like to see new kits of the old American Motors cars like the AMX, the Matador, the Ambassador, and the Scrambler (an American with a 390 cid engine). Some of the "woodies", like the Ford, Chrysler, and Cadilac woodies would be neet. The AMT 1948 Ford woodie station wagon is a good example. A new model of the old Studibakers would also be nice, say a 57 Studibaker Golden Hawk. Lastly I would add to the wish list the Auburn, Cord Deusenberg series, especially the "boat tails".

I would love to see a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California (ooooo yeah). Also a Fiat 1973 850 roadster. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1928 Oldsmobile). A 1976 Lancia Beta Scorpion with the engine. A 1994 Ford F-350 Crew Cab with duallies. (kitbashed that one once) The Clampetts' truck (actually the same vehicle as Chitty from the same prop lot). Any of the Orange County Choppers. Any of the original Ford woodys from the 20's. Any of the great Duesenbergs, especially the 34 coupe simone. I'm sure there are others.

1979 VW Rabbit like theTamiya kit but with engine and NOT motorised.

1972 toyota Celica

Datsun 240Z 1/12 or 1/24, but not with the ZG nose.

Count me in too for a Datsun 510

Audi quattro rally

Renault 5 rear engined turbo rally car (not the motorised crap)

BMW Z3 & Z4 coupe

1999-2005 BMW 3 series

Opel Manta

1984 Toyota celica rally

Porsche 959 "Paris-dakard"

 Some of those supply trucks they use in the Dakard

 1/12 rally cars modern and vintage.

 A GOOD kit of the BMW M1

Cars from the beginings of F1

And highly detailed separated engines & tranny combos for engine swaps, so you don't have to buy a second kit to canibalise it's engine...

 

And I could go on...

1986 Mustang GT.

I went this way to get the multiport engine instead of the carb model. In 1985 only Cali got the SEFI engines, the rest of the world caught up the next year.
