Wasn’t that someone Revell? I seem to remember they were shipped bagged, with an unformed box included, but without decals, for $10.00. I purchased about 5, still got a couple.

It is good to see the 1964 Malibu kit contains a firewall and radiator support.

Thanks to all for the information. I obviously didn’t observe the release activity close enough. Also did not know that the Camaro IMSA kits were reworks of the Mustangs.

I have been cataloging some of my stash, and ran across these. I know it is a hard question, but any idea as to the disposition of this tooling? As far as I know, these may have not been reissued since they were released in the 80s. Might Salvinos JR have them?

I would much prefer the ‘68 as a model subject. The ‘67 design is very similar to the ‘65 and ‘66. I consider the ‘66 to be the most resolved and successful design of that sequence.

Kit is factory sealed. I will trade for three car kits, can be current production. Interests include: AMT 1965 GTO Hardtop Craftsman + AMT 1968 GTO Craftsman + AMT 1965 El Camino/Camper AMT Ramchargers Funny Car AMT 64 Mercury Revell 32 Ford (Stacey David retool) Revell 77 Firebird Revell 76 Torino (stock) Revell 57 Ford Gasser (coupe or wagon) other trades considered.

The headlight issue is with the SMP-AMT 1961-1962 Corvettes.

Dude! Off the chain.

I think RC released this kit, as well as the Van/ Phaeton and the Model T kits.

SteveG informed us the contents for the initial release would be only what was in the last MPC release, the “Pro-Street” version (not what one would consider pro-street, does not have a tubbed chassis). It uses a 1979 style hood. It would be great, as far as I am concerned, if they have found the inserts for this version, and have decided to release it instead. If not, I hope they at least do not use the pro-street title on the box art.

If one keeps up with this forum, most of the content of the kits, the box art, and the approximate release dates are known well before the video is released. The video is a confirmation that the kit is actually in the pipeline. I don’t keep up with the other categories, so find it interesting to see the breadth of Round 2’s product offerings. The presentations certainly could use some refinement and finesse, but detailed unboxings and builds follow quickly for most kits. Chad does seem personable and approachable. I would like to have beer and pizza with him and hear about the day-to-day grind at Round 2.

Indycals also does custom printing. They use a printer that renders in CMYK and white, so upon close examination the screen pattern is visible. Resolution is quite fine, and I do not find it at all objectionable. Service is speedy, and quality excellent.

Interesting. You are a younger builder, but still interested in the era of cars that appeal to us geezers. Hope springs eternal.

SteveG posted earlier in another thread: AMT1411 is new tooling, cloned copy of a MPC 1968 GTO promo with some very modest changes. Hood will be a separate part with some front under-hood details.

There was a Camaro Street Machine kit in the "Hot Rod" (magazine) series that shares the body and most parts with the Firebird (same series) mentioned by Richard. I don't know if the interiors are the same, but I seem to recall the front and rear fascias for both cars were present in both kits.
