I think ALL their Vintage Series bodies are sweet. The detail and accuracy of scale is the best of any of the onroad body manufacturers. I want to get the DeTomaso Pantera body. I wouldn't paint it black/grey like they did, though.

Yeah, a DeLorean would be cool. I also don't know why they only have 1 body representing the Mopars (the '70 'Cuda). I wish they'd add a Charger (they only have one in their Monster Truck series which is unuseable on a touring car chassis due to the wacky wheelwells & wheelbase) and how about a Challenger or a Duster/Demon? Only one classic Mopar...while there must be 10 or so flavors of Mustang. :x

EDIT: They really ought to add a late 60's Plymouth Superbird/Dodge Daytona and '86-'87 Buick Grand National.

Meh...they already offer 9 Mustang body options. They really need to add more representation from classic Mopars or a Grand National before adding more 'Stangs.

I'd be OK with that too.

Although I own a later model, I've never been big on most Mustang styling past 1968.

I'm not sure why HPI skipped the most iconic body style of the bunch though.

Mercifully, they haven't produced the blocky '78 through '93 or the Pinto-crap from '74-'77...


A '68-'69 Charger, early '70's Challenger, or any pre mid '70's Road Runner option would be just as welcome.

A Grand National would be a unique choice, and a neat alternative for a drag racer.

I'm tired of all the Camaro options, too. How about a Torino, or (as someone already mentioned) a GTO? And though they'd never make one due to low demand, a '57 Plymouth Fury for some badass RC Christine action! :twisted:
