I'm thinking they were a better option than the tools being sold for scrap because the stock version wasn't considered profitable enough to reissue. Don't know if that would have happened or not, but the ones considered viable were returned to stock or stock-ish eventually.

In Response To: Never liked them knowing the kits were forever butchered from stock. *NM* ()

Off the top of my head, that included the '65 GTO, '69 Torino in the AMT Modified Stocker Series, the '70 Chevelle, '69 Mustang, '68 Camaro, '74 Barracuda from the MPC Super Stocker series (GTO was a separate tool), and from the NASCARS '71 Road Runner, '74 Charger, '69 Daytona... maybe more?

Regardless, it's all history now. I'm hoping there will be some reissues of long-lost tools (like the '66 Skylark) coming back in stock configuration, like those that have already happened through the modern miracle of digital scanning and the creative, thoughtful people of Round 2...

Am I the only one who enjoys the AMT Modified Stockers?
