What was I thinking? | The De Tomaso Forums

I’ll blame this on Lemans850i. Showing his “model” got me envious,

I want a model too that would look like 5177. So I won a couple of bids on these.

One was open. Actually good, because when I realized how many small parts there are, no way with my poor eyesight and shaking hands will I ever be able. At least the un open box looks good on the shelf.

I wonder what the GTS model in the box was all about? It seems pretty specific, with Mount Rushmore, California plate and Police Car after it.

(oh, and Linda Vaughn riding in the passenger seat!)

I think it is from the "Cannon Ball Run" movies, (with a lot of poetic licensing)

I think that is suppose to be Farrah,

Pantera style in styrene...
