I didnt see it on Davids list but Revell is releasing a new tool 68 Chevelle in December or late November.  They are taking pre-orders now.

Yeah, it will......but not as much as one of the old MPC Super Stocker kits. Have 7 of the 34 Ford, 5 of the 36 Chevy, 2 Pinto, and 1 Vega.....
in comparison, have 3 Monte Carlo and 2 GTO bodied Super Stockers. 3 of the 34 Ford modifies were from W/M's Street Stock Strip series......

Curious to see the '34 Ford P/U listed. Last I heard AMT found the molds had been damaged, as that kit was announced as an AMT release 4 years ago. Just hope that this time it will make it. But I'm sure it won't come out with the set up of the 1st one of those kits I bought back in the late '60's/very early '70's, possibly the first version with the stake flat bed. The next re-issue again did not have the stake bed, or the Chrome reverse(?) wheels, including a simplified dual tire option in the rear, plus a matching chrome wheel/tire for the spare.  While most of the Lindberg versions had the stake bed, they never had the dual rear wheel tire/spare tire set up....Don't remember where, but found that particular version over the last couple of years or so, which I think is the original issue with the stake bed and dual rear tire set up....along with 6 various versions of the Lindberg issues....

Some other interesting kit announcements.....

I love that old '34 pickup kit. I have a real hard time not buying everyone I run onto. I have used the flatbed from that kit on a bunch of other pickups. And the tow truck rig makes a great old flat tow style towbar, or trailer neck.
I gotta stop, I'm talking myself into another purchase.

Doesn't that 34 have an all chrome big block ford as an option? Believe I have 2 in my stash.

Yes, it is a tri-power thunderbird 390.  It is a pretty easy swap in the AMT 32 and 40 fords of the same era.
