Mid to late 60's vibe is correct, decal from the same period. Not from a dragster tho. Its not molded in blue. This one is much smaller than the wing on the Jeb Allen digger. Big hint: this kit was issued once. Repeat, only once!

IMC Chaparral 2E?

[Draggon]

You guys are giving some great guesses, but nobodys gotten close yet. 

[Draggon]

OK time for a hint. The kit was molded in dark orange, the only kit Ive seen in this color. 

[dodgefever]

Hmm, still in the dark here.

[Casey]

I want to guess it's from a Japanese manufacturer, like Otaki or Nichimo, as I recall they made a few late-'60s Can Am-ish kits.

[Draggon]

No, its all American. It is late 60's though. 

[dodgefever]

Nope, no idea here.

[Casey]

I think I need to start looking at 1/32 scale stuff...

[Draggon]

Its 1/25 and AMT. 

[Draggon]

Let me know when another hint is appropriate. I thought everyone knew this kit 

[dodgefever]

I guess I'll kick myself when I find out.  Is it a full bodied passenger car, or something else?

[Draggon]

Not "full bodied", not a race car.  HInt: had something to do with a spark plug. If that doesn't give it away, I'll just post a pic and someone else can go! Ya know, when the game gets too difficult, everyone gets bored or frustrated. I thought this would be a walk in the park compared to that Freuhauf Tanker hatch I posted. Its been 3 days. At 6-ish I'll post the pics. Some of you old guys might say " Oh geez, I remember that"

Excellent Don, you got it! Way to go!

[Don Sikora II]

Thanks. Have to admit I didn't know it, but the spark plug clue made me think of that kit. I'll post something in a little while.

[Don Sikora II]

Ok, here's my part. It's not from the '55 Nomad kit.

I've never heard of that one - can't even find a box art image online!
