Hey Nathan - Just a little history here for ya - I noticed that you said you were not sure if that black "hearse" is a Barris creation. Not real sure of it's creator, but it certainly fits the mold of tv/movie cars that he created back in the day. This is the vehicle that gothic star "Barnabus Collins" drove around on the TV show "Dark Shadows". There is also a rumor out there that says MPC took their 33 Chevy Van and created this thing. It is a shame because the molds for the stock/custom version of the van were supposedly modified to create the Barnabus van. 'Course, this could just be a rumor too - the guys at Round2 have bought all those old molds from a huge warehouse and are going through all of them to see what is salvageable and which ones they can re - release. So, sorry to ramble on so much, but here is what that one is modeled after:  Thanks, Dave B - Bayouman |

Thanks dave B, and I love to have you ramble on, cause it's all good stuff. So the guys at Round2 have picked up the old molds? God wouldn't it be great if the brought back some of thiose great old kits that MPC had? I would sure be buying at least 2 of each of them, one to build and one to keep unbuilt.

Yes indeed, I would line up to buy them too! I understand that they have literally hundreds of molds that they are looking at to see which ones are salvageable and which ones they want to put back out. I eagerly wait for their announcements each month!!
