I used to love making model cars as a kid....I remember the first model car I made was one given to me by my neighbor.

IROC-Z28 camaro.

Think it's coincidence that this was also the first car I bought...also from a neighbor?

Creepy.:lala:

RU-QUIK,
What's with the cassette tape? Was it a dealer instruction tape, or sales stuff?

Nice! I too have been looking for a model similar to my car. I have had no luck after calling some companies. RU-QUICK, so you do not know where to get a model from? I have looked everywhere for an IROC. Have you seen any in your travels? Thanks-Bryan

First model car I ever put together was a Lamborghini Countach 5000. I kinda doubt I'd ever get that car as my first car.

The 2nd car i got was a Ferrari F40, then I went to KITT. ^_^ And kitt killed them all.

They came with a tape!? Whats on the tape? I still have the owner's book and the window sticker, but I've never seen a tape come with a car.
