I think it was a popular model cos no end of people I know had em! The one I had when I was about 12-13 was a solid red car but the one in the loft still in its box and plastic bags is a weird blue flake.
I got a 1/8 scale 79 Trans Am in a brown metallic finish somewhere.
I had a Lindberg 1/8 scale T bucket in proper flake with pie crust whitewall slicks and a 283 chubby in it, as cool as anything it was, went together beautifully too
When me and fat Ian were lil kids we had grandparents that lived at Hastings sea front.
Our old man took us there most weekends in the school hols and we always used to frequent a model shop on the promenade that had the most incredible stock of Monogram 1/24 scale cars, all American and most customs or track cars. They were about 2 or 3 quid each then and if we'd earnt good money scrubbing the old mans copper plumbing fittings in Gunk (we got 8 quid a hundred weight, lot of money for lil kids then) we would blow the lot on models and scarper back to Nans flat and get busy. We learnt all our knowledge of US cars and race car drivers from them, bloody brilliant memories
