• Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
  • Bill, you've got an incredible garage! *NM*
  • Thanks Bill!! *NM*
  • Those Imperials are stunning, Bill. *NM*
  • Wow, that '59 Plymouth...! *NM*
    • Glad someone noticed the four '59 Mopars I posted for 5/9 day! *NM*
      • apparently those Revell '62 buildups were part of the treasure trove Atlantis rec'd from Revell and were not new test shots as we presumed. Last I heard, Peter and his team were still going through hundreds more sets of tooling and were not really sure if those tools...
        • Good info, Tim. I won't dump my Newport... yet. *NM*
        • I'll still keep hoping, but like the rest of 'life', nothing is for certain. Either way is fine, as I already have more stuff than I can possibly build, and for now Round2 is still reviving some cool stuff from the old dayz... *NM*
          • Liking those MPC reissues for sure *NM*
        • Probably gone like JoHan tooling it was a bright dream for awhile. *NM*
          • If Revell had test shots, the tooling likely still exists. Strange they let it sit in the mid-Seventies while they dragged out those multiple-piece body kits though *NM*
            • The detail in the multi-piece bodies was better, IMO.
              • The Revell bodies are pretty decent; the rest of the parts aren't "quite there"...
              • I remember reading that exact same thing here as well, IIRC from someone “in the know”… which is why I have been holding out hope that Atlantis might have obtained those molds and would consider putting them in production again. *NM*
  • I'm hoping Atlantis can re-issue those 1962 MOPARS from Revell soon. *NM*
    • Huzzah! *NM*
    • As was viamently reminded when I expressed excitement at the prospect of seeing the Dart 440 again, back when it was first revealed that Atlantis had the Revell Mopar tooling...
      • I'd be super happy to see the Dodge Revellion F/C again. Wasn't there at least one other kit in that group? *NM*
      • IIRC, the 4 door was modified bur not the 2 door,this doesn't include Imperial, Newport,Valiant and Lancer *NM*
        • Did Revell do a two door Dart??? *NM*
          • No, Revell only made a four-door ‘62 Dart. Jo-Han made the two-door. *NM*
            • Thanks... That's what I thought. Phil's post was causing me question if I really knew what I thought I knew. *NM*
            • Don't wanna drop anything out of skool... but...
      • A Revellion wouldn't be a bad outcome. I also recall seeing a sneek peek at test shots of other ex-Revell '62 Mopars teased in an Atlantis video last year.
        • Revellion is the only kit with the correct front axle for Mooneyes... but buckle up. The kits are a few clicks south of JoHan in detail
          • IMHO a Revellion is cool enough as is. To convert one back to stock is more effort than I would be willing to go through, especially when there are probably still some originals (and JoHans) out there in the collector market. Cool thought exercise, though.
            • Still hoarding my vintage Motor City '62 - poured from my original that I sold off several years ago
              • Do it!!! :D *NM*
  • What year is this Imperial? It is a very crisp and elegant luxury car design imo even though I am historically a GM fan.. *2 PICS*
    • I think its a 1973. *NM*
    • Yes, a '73 *NM* *PIC*
    • Both images are of a 1972, not 1973 Imprerial. The 1973s were almost identical but had the "big rubber blocks" 5mph front/2.5 mph rear pads added to meet federal legistlation that year....TB *NM*
      • Thanks for the info. *NM*
  • I LIKE all of them.... But for some reason that white 70 Dart really sticks out for me. *NM*
