Casey Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 I can't say I've sever seen this kit before, and I think I've only ever seen one other kit labeled as both Craft Master and MPC, but the crazy car thing was rampant during the late '60s and this one would not be held back: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 That's an interesting one. It says "includes part by MPC". General Mills? Real wood? If like to see more of this thing - this is before laser cut wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Here's another one in that same series. This was displayed at the Staten Island NY show in 2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharoah Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Wow, I waded through this whole thread (whew) a lot of kits I have never seen before,and some that brought back memories. The bird kits and the owl. I had some of those when I was a kid. I didn't see this one though. I actually bought one several years ago.It's supposed to be motorized,so there's not a lot of detail. It goes together easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkster Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Wow, The 66 Imperial pickup truck is of a real car. The real car is in a junk yard in Hortonville, WI The Junk yard used the car as there small parts hauler in the 60's and early 70's. Didn't know there was a model of it? Also the Chrysler boat, I have one. I got it in about 1970 from the local Chrysler Dealer in Hartford WI, where the Chrysler Outboard was built. Harned Motors the local Chrysler/Plymouth & Dodge Dealer in Hartford had a big show with all the Chrysler Boats and motors the were built by Chrysler at the time. To the familys of Chrysler Outboard, they all got the model of the Chrysler Boat with outboard. Still have it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gui_tarzan Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Yep, someone gave me one of these unbuilt several years ago. This thread made me dig out one of the oddballs in my stash... anybody else ever seen one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impcon Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) My son has a real 1:1 '81 z28 convertible. I would have never guessed that they ever mde a model of one. His is white with a blue interior - simply a beautiful car with the top down. They don't look so cool with the top up, but hey - it IS a convertible. I know that there were not a lot produced which makes me wonder at a model???? Cool!!!!! Edited January 15, 2013 by impcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm not even sure what to think about this one. Is this a legit box? Is that Fidel Castro?? Just wow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm not even sure what to think about this one. Is this a legit box? Is that Fidel Castro?? Just wow: I believe that is actually who it's supposed to be- what it had to do with the car or kit? No idea on that... Other than the weird box art, this is the same as the oft-reissued '65 Connie kit most of us are familiar with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I'm not even sure what to think about this one. Is this a legit box? Is that Fidel Castro?? Just wow: That was part of the same series as the 'Che Riviera' '65 Riviera box art, I believe. I guess it was one of those 'you had to be there' things from before my time.

Erik Smith Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm not even sure what to think about this one. Is this a legit box? Is that Fidel Castro?? Just wow: Totally legit! I love those 60s era politically questionable (to some) boxes. Round2 could do some fun ones now with the Ayatollah or something. There were a few dealing with the communist regime in Cuba. They also had the Mexico rally boxes with phrases such as "what, me hurry?" On the decal sheet - what? People in Mexico are laid back?...

mr moto Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I had that Spinwelder set too. I don't remember those! Can anybody tell me exactly how that welder worked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Colmer Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Manuel, The spinner gun received a "welding tip" of plastic. The spinning created heat via friction. The welding tip melted into the two pieces to be joined. Put a new tip on when the old one was used up. A single tip would make about a 3" long bead. It was not that hard with a little practice. I think I was 12 or 13 when I built mine. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
