GREMLINS: My versions are one RED one AND one BLUE one, BOTH with the white "hockey stick" stripes on the sides Both are Gremlin X versions.

PINTOS: My versions are yellow and white AND gray primer.

The yellow/white version has painted yellow inner hubcaps which I have never seen on any of the Motormax assembled models.

Was lucky to come across a Wally Mart closeout sale and loaded up two 1974 AMC Gremlin Xs and two 1974 Ford Pintos.

All are 1/24 scale Motormax Fresh Cherries KIT models for 5 bucks a copy.

I especially like these kits because they are so easy to do modifications to as well as additional detailing. Had to blackened the rear wheel wells of both the Pinto and the Gremlins and blacken the steering linkage as both are molded in the primary colors of the interiors. By the way, the interiors are done in two colors usually and the dashes look great for this price point.

A little extra detailing goes a long way in making these look so much better, especially in the engine compartment.

Overall quite a bit of bang for the buck in terms of style, content, detail and presentability.

Keep the orphan cars a'coming, Motormax. They are COOL !!!!!

MotorMax also had 4 pack Mavericks for 15.00 a box in 1:24th. That comes out to 3.75 each. When you hold it in your hands and compare to 1:64th premium brands in the 5.00 range the whole cost of materials thing kind of goes out the window. Now these are packed like you see in gas stations where you buy just the car itself so if you are a cardboard junkie this will not work for you. There was white with orange stripes, red, orange and green versions as well. Had opening doors as well.


Yup, 3.75 each!

My favorite is the white w/orange stripes.
Have one displayed nicely in it's own case.
