Will pointed me to a 1:18 '65, but I don't know if there are any bumpsides in that scale.

The last time (a couple of years now) I was at Laguna Seca in Monterey For the Historic Races and where they had all the souvenir vendors located I actually saw a 1:18 or 1:24 scale model of a 66 FORD Contractor Special!
It was even painted in the same Two-tone White-Lunar Green as My 69 CS!!!

But did I buy it? No I had to have a 69 not the earlier body style 66...

They've got to be around somewhere...

Ya they do Here in Parksville, there is toy and collectors Store in Wembly Mall, they got one or two in there. I picked one up look at the engine, I thing the door even opened. The under carriage looked just like the real thing, And the interior look good. Next time I'm there I get the Phone number I think the ship all around B.C. I think it was around $50

Hey Buzzy/Jeff
When I was in High School in the late 70's I had a 74 RX4 Coupe with a 13B and a 4spd. That car hauled ass! It was a lot of fun until I folded over an Apex seal and seized a rotor... You got an Awesome truck accompanied by 2 cool Wankel powered rockets!

Sure thing there Jeff but It'll take me a few days to dig up an old photo!

I've drove a 500SEL for 4 years and tested and almost bought a E430 4matic for the wife, but I'm just not a fan of the C class (probably due to the fact that I'm a big dude) nothing personal Jeff.

I am a big guy also 6'1 290lb the benz is roomy compared to the rx7's and wearing a helmet in the rx7 is just plain uncomfortable thank God it is only for 10 seconds at a time
