Chuck Most Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Jon- Revell did a first-gen Courier, but it was custom. You'd need to do some scratchbuilding, but making a first-gen Courier model would be workable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Creative Explorer Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 It does! I was reffering to the Korean-built, US-market Fiesta though. Or was it Festiva...? I know, that is why I said 'kinda'. I believe you just got the first gen US-Fiesta, and before that it was that Ford/Mazda/Kia compact. But over here we had the fiesta already a long, long time. If you look through the Ford-line, usually the EU and US products differ big, but they now starting with more global-cars, like the new fiesta and the focus.

kingtoy Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 In my stalled projects I have a Courier model that I dropped with large custom wheels, very custom mini style. The interesting part of it is that I am swapping in the V6 from a Taurus SHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Nice collection of Couriers here ! I'd LOVE to see Round2 release a sweet multi-options 'reissue' of the forelorn AMT Courier ; fleetside and stepside beds ; stock 4 cylinder (with hop-up parts) , V6 and V8 options ; stock tyres / wheels , and custom , period-correct wheels / tyres ; just building options galore !

Fabrux Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Here's my 78 4WD Courier. I have another 78 in progress in the Mini Truck CBP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter31a Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I had an 81 Courier. It was a great little truck. The guy I sold it to had the body rust away long before the mechanical parts gave out. I'm really enjoying seeing these builds. Someday I want to build a replica of mine but will have to stretch the wheelbase and bed as mine was a longbed truck.

michael1969 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 hotrod what you have there is a chevy luv, not a ford courier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 The Revell Fun Truckin Courier looks pretty close to that LUV. Has the chopped top and the fenders on the bed look like those (side note: Revell used the same fenders in the Courier, Datsun pickup and 75 C10).

sports850 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Mmmm , the memories , I'll have to dig up the photo's of my Courier ('82 model or so from memory) styleside with fiberglass canopy on the back , false floor in the rear with double mattress on top . Among other places it took me on a Central Australia trip 13 or so years ago , very good touring wagon (only 2wd) and went well on dirt and rough stuff .
