What New Kit would you like to see produced?

I know this question has been asked many times before, but I'll take a shot and ask again, but with some set parameters. This actually has a small chance of going somewhere...


Please read the conditions BEFORE you respond. I will try to answer questions.

It has to be 1/24 scale.

Preferably it should to be a car model never before released in 1/24 or 1/25 scale. That includes die-cast. But if you think it is a viable subject, still please include it.
Subtle version or minor year design changes of existing models that have already been produced do not constitute a new kit in this situation.

No current race cars, sponsor licensing would kill the project before it starts.

It would not be a super-detail kit or have PE parts or a bunch of moving parts, more like a traditional "skill level 2" kit with lift off, or maybe opening hood to show engine. Full interior, chassis detail, etc...
Yes, it would be injection molded, not resin, it would have a clear shot, decals, softish tires and a chrome shot if needed...

Maybe an alternate version or choice of two engines, MAYBE. Nothing complex for the options.

Please think along the lines of something versatile with broad appeal, that '79 two door Ford Fairmont or that '82 Simca that was so cool as your first car won't cut it...

Go ahead and offer one-of cars too, it's just that the wider the audience the better chance it has of seeing production.

If you list something that has been produced in the past, or a kit that was only available in resin, that's OK, no one will get excited, at least no one that matters.

All kidding aside, please give it some thought and offer your best suggestions. You may offer as many as you would like to, but I am only fishing for one subject. Thanks. We may all benefit from this.

Also please do not assume any current manufacturer is involved in this. This is a "testing of the waters" so to speak. That is all that will be said about that.

Please just play along and maybe a few of us will get a wish granted. Thanks.

Wow, the difference in choices here vs. the HHMB is amazing!

It's not just a generation gap, more like a time warp.

I'll add another to the list:

Lotus 340R.

Shelby Cobra Daytona, any version. I know they exist in plastic and resin but to get a decent kit for less than $100 would be awesome.
