Re: [BaadAssGremlins] AMC NOS Models

Hi Doc and somewhere in the auction for the Testor's I mention what you said below. Testors ended up with most of JoHanss molds, cleaned them up and reissued them in a variety of fashions, that prostreet amx being the original Shahan SS/AMX mold. It was also used for another "run" in the early 1990s.

 

I have been trying unsuccessfully for YEARS to get some model makers to reissue anything AMC, especially the 70 Javelin, 70 AMX and 71-74 AMX & Javelin series....to no avail. I have even offered up some of my NOS models to them as mules!

 

There was a place called Hobby Heaven up in Kansas I used to buy cases of NOS models from, that Testor's AMX I bought 14 cases for instance and while now out of the Pro Street Rambler, bought 10 cases of those also. Ah, those were the days!

Nice group of models there Eddie. To bad there is nothing there I havent built in my collection and have anywhere from1 -3 of each still unbuilt. The Pro/Street AMX is nothing more than a Johan Drag-On-Lady AMX with new box art and decals otherwise it is the same kit. Same thing as the Johan Pro/Street Rambler is an SC/Rambler with new box art and decals. Box artt makes the price as the SC goes for around 50-75$ while the Pro/Street goes for 15$. Tom Jennings from the AMX Files just gave me a sealed SC/Ramber & Drag-On-Lady kit for nothing.
