Random model pic of the day!

Here is my Chevy Ramp truck I did before ACME came out with their Dodge Ramp Truck along with the ACME ramp truck they did. 

@john3976 - I'm a little surprised ACME hasn't done a Gas Ronda ramp truck.  BTW, I'm waiting for the Dick Brannan A/FX Mustang.  I'm surprised that one hasn't been done yet as well.

HA! Check your email Marty. 

TASCA Ford combo. 

Good looking combo. I'm surprise Hershy  was never a sponsor. 😏 😏 

Pony cars, 1970 Mustang BOSS 302 and 1969 Camaro Z/28

@john3976 I was pretty sure GMP bought Lane's tooling.

1968 Shelby GT500 by Lane Exact Detail, this was one of the zone release cars with this one being Zone 4. 

That's a great color combo.  Love that Dark Green.

@john3976 Fabuluos on all fronts, just a great looking 'Stang!

@gavin Yes sir, Autoart  nailed it.  Steve would've loved this. 😎

This Steve does 👍

Sunoco sponsored 1970 ramp truck by ACME and 1963 Corvette Grand Sport Roadster by Exoto.

Roger Penske's shop is the one who cut off the top of the Corvette Grand Sport and it was entered as a 1966 model year, the Grand Sport Corvette's were listed as different model years as they modified them and raced them but all of them were actually built in 1963.  Chassis number 1 and chassis number 2 were the ones Penske cut the tops off of. If you read the books on these cars they will say only five were built but there is documentation that a sixth chassis was being built when GM ordered the program shut down, but according to John Mecom of Mecom Racing he says he owned all the Grand Sport Corvettes at one time and there were six of them built and at least once all six Corvette Grand Sports were in his Hobby Airport racing shop.

According to a friend of John Mecom there was a photo hanging on the wall at the Hobby Airport racing shop that showed six Grand Sport's in it. According to John Mecom Bill Mitchell took possession of one of the Grand Sport Corvettes and used it for a styling exercise. The Grand Sport Corvettes could not be raced by Chevrolet because the manufactures were supposed to be boycotting racing but all of the manufactures were funding teams under the table. In order for the Corvette Grand Sport's to be legal they had to be sold into private hands and that is where John Mecom comes in saying he bought six Corvette Grand Sports for between $3,000 dollars and $6,000 dollars each, Mecom says he used Roger Penske to broker the deal because Penske knew how to navigate the system in GM to purchase these cars. 

There are five all accounted for today, the sixth that John Mecom says he did own at one time would be the one Mechom said Bill Mitchell turned into a styling exercise and was likely destroyed decades ago. Some will call John Mecom a liar but there is documentation with invoices that a sixth chassis was in fact being built when GM shut down the program so it is not unreasonable to believe that sixth chassis was finished and was purchased by John Mecom Racing along with the other five Corvette Grand Sport's. 

The GS looks perfect on that Ramp Truck.  Gotta love the classic Penske blue livery.  My favorite car in that livery:
