Monogram GTX 1971.

A close representation of my very first car, although a 72 satellite Sebring, they share the same body except for the rear bumper and side markers. It had a modest 318 in it ,later replaced by a 4 barrel 340 which was a major improvement. I had a lot of fun with this car. This body style seems to be either loved or hated. Personally, I just love this body style and when you see one today , it turns heads around.

I have several versions that I build which I will post eventually. I was so disappointed when Revell re issued this kit as the Dom's gtx droping the ball on the 72 rear bumper, how hard could it be to re tool a rear bumper. The side markers are an easy fix. Maybe they thought that the F/F fans wouldn't notice or care. I tried to find an aftermarket resin alternative but could nor contact any. The kit, although simple, is easy to build and gives a decent model. 

Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.
