Great guess Casey, sure looks like it doesnt it?  But no. Wrong continent.

[dodgefever]

I have no idea on this one. 

[Draggon]

I'll give it till noon tomorrow, then give some hints.

[gray07]

I have a wing like this on a car, it is molded in blue, but dont know the name of the car i built it years ago.

[Casey]

I'm getting a mid to late '60s vibe, but that may just be due to the Pure decal, which may or may not be from the same time period as the spoiler?

 

This looks close, but not too confident it's correct:

 

[Draggon]

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! 

[Casey]

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"
