RE: IML: Model Kits-any of the 81-83?

["Christopher Middlebrook" <delamothe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

That's a good question. TKM models at one point had cast a resin body of an 80-83 Imperial, but the quality of the casting was very crude. I don't know if they have ever fixed it or re-issued it. The body had no interior, and the chassis was a piece of sheet metal with holes for axles. You had to provide your own tires and wheels. With 20/20 hindsight, I kick myself for not buing one; but at the time I was turned off by the primitive look of the whole thing, and the amount of work it would require to make it look decent.

I'm sure somebody will come out with a die cast of it soon. The car is reaching its third decade, and it's a very eye catching body style. If the die cast folks can make (and market) a die cast of a Dodge Stratus, anything is possible...

With all this talk of model kits, does anybody know of a plastic or die cast
scale model of the '80-83 Imperial?
