You dont like the "fatbird"? ;) Saw the new HW casting this weekend, its not much better.

No, plus it sits up high like a 4X4!! I grabbed a few of the new FE HW 69s that I am in the process of customizing....

60's Vettes. The 1:1's are beautiful cars, but the JL versions seem a little fat and out of proportion to me.

these are some of the worst,in bad need of a makeover.

Definitely the Fatbird, and if I could be picky, I'd like the Shelby Cobra 427 SC redone, it looks a little anorexic! :D

I'm not too picky, but I'd sure like to see the '72 Javelin and early 80's Buick with some normal sized wheel wells.

Thanks, midtown! I didn't do too much surfin' over the holidays and missed that one.

Past JL that deserve to be re-casted (but probably wont)


hmmmmm....if we are talking about 1969-1971, i'd like to see recastings of the hairy hauler (i need the rear hook attachment) and the wild winner (i need a nose attachment)....other than that, i'd like to see the condor recast....

'68 Mustang (Both regular and Shelby versions)
'71 Hardtop Cuda

Agreed! The '68 could use a re-casting without the 4x4 wheels. And the Cuda' just seems a tad bit thin to me. Add to the list an updated '05 GTO with the hood scoops and fixed exhaust.

Christine.

69 Firebird
05 GTO

Lots of good ones so far, mines the Waldorf, or Corvette Nomad
the 54 Chevy Sedan Delivery is a good candidate too.

69 Firebird
74 Hurst Olds pace car
75 Buick Century
77 Oldsmobile Delta 88
Cadillac Allante
68 Chevelle and Monte Carlo SS

I'll second, or third that 1969 Trans Am

I also agree with all of the comments made so far, except for the '68 Chevelle!

I'd also like to see the Eliminator, '68 Charger, and '69 Roadrunne redone.

All Stock Car Legends with new and previous paints-The 4WD look isn't very becoming! :)
The Funnycar Legends still look good, maybe some new paints

Since we're talking about retooling, why not do some new tools? Namely:

Trans-Am Legends and Prostock Legends...! :wave:

yes I know about the ralley 350 cant wait,but I was talking about the topless cars ,sorry I didnt explain myself a little better,but you guys know what I mean.

I forgot one, they did pretty good on the original, the Grand Sport Corvette.

All the British Invasion cars except make them small like they should have been.

1971-1973 Mustang fastback

With the way the Mustangs sell, you'd think they could at least spend the money to update the castings. The '79 was bad in '96, let alone now (Yatming did it much better more than a decade before Playing Mantis made it, even Hot Wheels' laughable "Turbo Mustang" is better...just barely). Fortunately it hasn't been seen in a few years now, though I would like to see it come back with a whole new body (the '79 Mustang is my all time favorite car- it deserves better than even the Yatming casting!). The '72 convertible looks more like a Mustang II convertible. And is it me, or are some of the louvres on the rear side windows missing on the Cobra IIs? Every one in my collection appears to have the same problem, even the early issues. And the '88, well, the casting itself seems to have some issues- I have seen some with really rough roofs. The '68 is just plain bad. The things Johnny Lightning could do with a good '68 Mustang casting (BULLITT- RC2 has the license, Cobra Jet,

Anything that has those hideous solid 'wing windows' is also high on my list of cars that need to be redone.

Exactly. :thumbsup:

I bet they'd sell better smaller than larger. I mean, ever MGA I see is larger than an H2. Really!

I totally agree with all of your points on the Mustangs. I'd love to add a '79 pace car to my collection, but the images I've seen of that car turned me off to it. I'd also like to add some 60's shelby stangs to the collection, but wasn't totally impressed with those either. Is it me or do those '67-'68 Stangs ride a bit high? I supposed I may just be spoiled by the other beautiful castings that JL has done and I expect better.

69 & 70 Cougars , 67 & 68 Mustangs & Shelbys , 70 Super Bee . 70 Superbird , 71 Cuda hdtp , 70 / 71 Torino .

Definitely the AMX... I would like to see it with the stock hood, nice if it would open too...
