Model kit , 1970 Plymouth Road Runner, 77 parts, from 12 years old

When the craze for muscle cars emerged in the late 1960s, there seemed to be a market that could be served by less expensive models. Plymouth responded with the 1968 Road Runner, which had all the strengths of a muscle car but none of the fancy extras found on relatively expensive performance cars. The lack of bells and whistles helped keep the Road Runner's price down, which was exactly what many buyers were looking for. The redesigned 1970 Road Runner was part of Plymouth's new "Rapid Transit System" family of performance cars. Whimsical new features included optional "Dust Trail" side stripes and a wild collection of eye-catching "High Impact" paint colours. The optional 440+6 engine used a trio of 2-barrel carburetors and produced 390 hp and a whopping 490 lb-ft of torque. Thus equipped, a Road Runner could complete the quarter-mile in the mid-13-second range at over 102 mph.
