Very nice build. And the driver just adds a really nice touch!

AMT's early 70's box art is among the best in the business, and sadly their last good art for some time. That Merc box art brings back my memory of my uncle buying me that kit at a 7-11! Luckily I have one in my stash. But my fave from that era is this one with the mechanic trying to improve an already awesome car!

He is just cranking out the videos!

SOLD!

The only thing that is keeping me from saying that they are the same is the exhaust. The trucks runs underneath the bike and the jeeps over the engine, and the front number plate is more modern on the jeeps bike.

A few years ago, early 90's, there was a shop called Antique Automotive that dealt with Hot Rods, Muscle Cars and Specialty Cars. They also sold restoration parts, both new and used, and had a back lot full of project cars and parts. On one of my visits I found a very demolished fastback Mustang, and it was a 1966 Shelby GT 350 that had been pulled out of a ravine somewhere in New Mexico. The car was pretty stripped and the roof was mostly caved in, but, it had one very important part still on it, the Shelby Tags and chassis numbers. That, as the shop owner told me, was as good as gold to Shelby collectors, as they could legally replicate a Shelby car with the remains, and it would be legit on paper. So yes, there might be a Shelby recreation with legit numbers out there and no one is the wiser for it. And then again, this could just be the end of the line for a legit Shelby, if it is a real Shelby. Until we hear otherwise, that is pretty much it.

I have a right to not like it all. Yes, I will buy it, but I can also not like the wrapper. So yes, very believable.... and yes, I will post my opinion.

And yup, that is the FORD FE Engine! I doubt the HEMI is in the box.

That's funny, I think the box art is getting worse and worse! And yes, the logo could be improved.

Well, after seeing a few of his vids posted, I thought why not start a Video thread for his stuff. So here to kick it off, is the latest video! Have one you like, post it here instead of starting a new thread!

This is the Red version of the car, which is basically the kit version, minus the wheel pants.

Go for it! I dare you! Double Dog Dare You!

Yes, I know, I am just saying it is reminiscent of the Skip Hess car

Found a few decent shots of it! https://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z13357/chevrolet-corvair-monza-gt-concept.aspx

Shades of the Skip Hess Revell Kit Mustang

Oh man, this is just way too cool! I need to start selling off stuff to make some room for these! Thanks, Dave!

Really cool!

Any fit or other issues with it? Looks great, btw!
