The one at Snakes is a recreation we did for the Snake & Mongoose Mattel Hot Wheels Anniversary in 2005, it's not accurate. Here are some picture for you of the real 71 car

It's a resin master designed by Tom West, the company was Milestone Development and is out of business, The masters were not hand carved they were done by C&C. The company only had 3 people Tom West, Brian Gettings and a graphics guy.All manufacturing was done in China. They made mainly 1/16 scale diecast drag racing and NASCAR products with fiberglass bodies, they were not kits. And they only did the 1/10th scale master for a very few projects period, I only saw 4 and I saw all the prototypes. I know this company well and was involved in some projects they did, Tom West has been a friend for 40 years,But you do have a rare piece.

Don't look for this to be released

In 1971 they were mandatory by the NHRA, but roof hatches starting appearing on some funny cars as early as 1966. For 1978 they were mandated to be aluminum like a washing machine cover....

when they went back to the piece that came out of the roof  like they do now is a mystery to me!

Anyone notice on the 5 spokes mag wheels they didn't make narrower ones for front wheels, just asking.... great for a lowrider but not for a street rod.. or Gasser
