Loser cars. If there’s one thing I love to get kits of, it’s loser cars. Most people like muscle cars, Ferraris and other exotics or classic cruisers. Not me. If you’ve seen anything else I’ve built or reviewed, you know I love to hate to love my loser cars.

What’s more amazing that having a great selection of these things as kits? Finding out there’s a model of a loser car I didn’t even know about! Recently, it was brought to my attention that there was a kit of a Plymouth Horizon TC3. AWESOME! I knew about, and have several, of the Omni 024, it’s Dodge stablemate, but I was amazed and intrigued to learn of the Horizon. I hoped to find one, one day.

Then, thanks to the power of the internet, I was contacted by someone with one, and I was able to swiftly acquire one of these gems! It’s rare to have such a short turn around between discovery and purchase, at least for me, since I try to always avoid ebay!

I was very excited to get it, so I had to review it quickly. So here, then, is an out of box review for a long-forgotten leader among the losers, the almost kinda cool, but still intrinsically lame, Horizon TC3. Many thanks to F-J for his help and passing this one on to me. You rock, man!

Check it out to see how bad things got; don’t forget, there were MULTIPLE companies kitting this thing!

Adam, another gem. Your reviews never fail to entertain as much as they inform. Brilliant job mate, love it and can't wait to see progress on the build of this "anti-classic."

Cheers, D

Another entertaining review Adam.
Had to google the car. Found images of a Horizon in linen white and ginger, with white mud flaps and buckskin interior. That combo do not make it less a loser car, in fact quite the contrary.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone!

I agree, that would not help the "loser" status. If anything, it would make it "Florida Geezer Loser". Not sure that's any improvement at all. I think I've seen the same car. I'd like to build mine that way, but with the spoiler on there, it's likely a Turismo, so my colours might be more limited.
