    I guess nobody at these companies have heard of Google or have internet connections ... not hard to find whatever pictures they need ... Johan may have lost the mold but would have no problem getting one of their model kits if they actually wanted to produce a new one.

    Both a 1:24 diecast Grabber and a 1:16 R/C Grabber would be awesome!

    Update!!!

    First I want to thank all who have submitted pictures for the cause...(y)

    Next, a progress report...

    Looks like Motor Max is moving right along with production of the 1:24 Maverick (I'm still pushing the Comet with each conversation we have) and it seems to be a five different color assortment too!:bananaman
    I keep mentioning the "Sprint" as well...(y)

    I sent plenty of pics to them via email and fax. Also, in our conversations via telephone I kept pushing the GRABBER and GT so I hope that is OK'ed by FOMOCO to proceed.

    They were having issues with retooling for a Comet and I explained to them that the hood, grille and bumper were seperate parts as is the tail-light panel. NO need to retool the entire car... I hope they are listening...

    One step at a time guys and gals...:dance:

    More info as it comes my way.....:bigsmile:

    Sold my 1974 Comet - Looking super nice 73 Maverick near Memphis
    I can't even find the small ones here in Memphis. I did find a 1/24 green 70 Pinto, if they look like this, they will be nice.

    Maybe we could pre order directly from them to get a complete set????? :) TOM

    We should also let them know about the Stallion, as it was pretty unique as well. Wilbur & Susan Green had a really nice photo taken at one of the Roundups. Also, not sure who owns the second one, but it's very nice as well! The Stallion decal has some attitude, which is a nice touch on these cars.

    Just my two cents worth.
