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.

Hey OND, why don't you post up some photos of some of this neat stuff you have?  We would love to see it!

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.
