TarheelRick Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Nicely done MOPAR, that yellow really pops. I have never really understood the exhaust system on these cars, why not under the axle and out the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a popular thing at the time to have exhaust pipes exit in front of the rear tires at least where I live and Chrysler was trying to give buyers what was trendy.

Possibly and at least partly true for sure but I always figured Mopar was trying to make those cars and the AAR Cudas look as much like the actual track cars raced in the Trans-Am serise as possible.

espo Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Great looking color and graphics. I like the way you detailed the undercarriage and engine. You are correct about MoPar and the way they marketed these models back in the day. The Trans Am race series was very popular and they were trying to simulate the body markings as well as the exhaust. They also had G60x15 rear Good Year Polyglass tires and E60x15s on the front as standard equipment along with the exhaust system. I wouldn't know if the exhaust added any horsepower, but it sure sounded like it. I was working for Good Year at that time and was at one of the stores in Riverside Ca. When they were racing at the old Riverside Raceway, we would have a couple of display race cars in the parking lot in front of the store. I got pull them out in the morning and tuck them into the service bay at night. We had the yellow Swed Savage #77 car pictured above, I just wanted to go AWOL with it, but I also valued my job.

Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Looks great. I loved these kits. I have a couple of them. The 2nd car model I ever built was one of these in red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
