Bjorn Sefeldt Administrator Registered: 06/04/00 Posts: 11825 Loc: Houston, Texas ,US	I contacted Lane "exact detail replica" Die casts, by being urged on this site by someone, forgot who and which thread,but heres their response on 69`s. Quote: Hello, Thank you for your interest in our models. We have considered making a '69 Firebird but still need to produce several versions from our '67-'68 Firebird tooling before we invest money into a '69 body and parts. I will pass your suggestion along to our marketing and research departments, though. Thank you and best regards, Cynthia Cynthia Trapp ExactDetail Replicas / Lane Collectables (800)772-2682 ctrapp@lanecollectables.com info@exactdetail.com _________________________ FireBjorn http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/closeup.mv?CarID=221 69 convertible 400 (was 350)

Mushroombert Member Registered: 08/20/05 Posts: 903 Loc: Wisconsin	Sounds like double-talk for "Don't hold your breath!" Guess I don't understand what making more 67-68's has to do with making a 69. (Sent them an e-mail request as well. No response yet.) _________________________ -=>Lee<=- Due to budget constraints the "light at the end of the tunnel" has been turned off! http://firstgenfirebird.org/show/closeup.mv?CarID=1000 http://webpages.charter.net/entringer/1969_pontiac_firebird.htm

RossettiJ Member Registered: 09/20/00 Posts: 984 Loc: WI	My read on it is that they will modify the '67-'68 tooling to make the '69, but only after they've milked the '67-'68 tooling for all they can. _________________________ John

Put a poll together as they may be wondering why they all of a sudden started receiving the same request.
