Newer CAT-ish construction would be nice to see. I have so many Japanese construction vehicles now it is drowning out the rest. I think a larger non-mine wheel loader would be nice as these have not been done by the Japanese yet. If done with a separate bucket and wheels, this would make a perfect load too.

A new backhoe would be great too.

That's the Dmented/MZZ Jeep right?

Daniel,

Yes, this one was made by Dmented.

I'd love to see a 1967 AMC Rambler American in N (2-door, 4-door, and Wagon versions).
Probably the closest I'd get to owning one for the next 20 years.

I'll second Cody's AMC American. And add the 1964 Ambassador, 9 passenger wagon. Burgandy red with a white roof. 327CI V8 w/2BBL carb. Automatic tranny, and power brakes. Oh, and dealer installed A/C.

Got all that?  :D

If we're talking '64 I want a 4-door Ambassador in light-blue. With that pacman-mouth front end, it makes a good Fishmobile.

Did you have something like this in mind?

Thats not ok, but Jeeps are so small they'd benefit from being etched brass kits. That windshield is almost 10" thick.

You're thinking '63. My dad had a '63. Years later I bought a used '64. The '64 used the same body, but the grill was flat-vertical. Then it wrapped around the corners to fill in the horizontal 'V' that you speak of.

You'd think I'd have remembered such a difference.  :facepalm:

I'm with Daniel with these, esp the loader that could also double as a flatcar load.
