I'll just build is as a phantom '71 Hemi "Barracuda" Or even a Hemi conversion of a Barracuda ( "BH23" ) , perhaps even an M/P competitor . For 1971 Plymouth "fudged" the shipping weight for the 'Cuda (more so the convertible) so that it could be campaigned in the highly-competitive SS/E(A) class . I've seen images of "1970" models with "1970" grille , and a decal covering the 1971's gills . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my luck they are sold out everywhere. Does anyone know if these tires come in any kits? It looks like they may come in the AMT `68 Camaro kit? The Olds kit appears to have them, but only the small ones are in that kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, my AMT '68 Camaro came with a complete set of 4 for each tire size, 8 altogether, all of them the tampo-printed white letters. Was almost worth buying it at HL just for the tires. I bought mine right after Round 2 reissued it a few years ago. I believe they're still producing it, did they maybe de-content it and eliminate a pair?

Hawk312 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Matt and Robber, I believe there were two Amt 68 Camaro kits, one in blue with rallye wheels on the box, and one in red or orange with cragar sst wheels on the box. Do you remember which one you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drodg Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Also it would be a great add if Joseph at Fireball made a small block intake and carbs for the six pack on the AAR Cuda like he has for the big block.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
