boss 302 mustang

The engine parts packs that were reissued did not sell. As a result, Revell, which had been considering reissuing the motorcycle parts packs, said forget about it. I would think that management would be thinking about that in regards to doing anything with any other thing to do with the parts packs and those double kits, which probably would not sell except to old-time members of the lunatic fringe. There were also rumors back in the day that some of the parts pack tools may have gone to Japan.....and could be lost like the old IMC tools like the Lola T-70 that went to Union. And before you flame, I would buy the double kits myself.....I had the Fiat/Thunder Charger kit as a kid. But I've also accumulated enough stuff to build the Bantam, Fiat , T-bucket, and Mooneyes from existing kits and parts packs.

The '66 Chevy has the mystery motor exhaust manifolds.

The suitcase was not a LeMans-specific requirement but actually a FIA requirement for all FIA races.

None of the original owners ran a straight axle on the '65 factory AWB Mopars. And Mark is right about the '64 car but Landy did that late in the year.

Twin engine top fuelers never worked out very well. That car was an outlier anyway as almost all twins were in Top Gas. The only Top Gas cars I can recall with a full body were Jim Minnick (single engine) and the Gopher State Timing Assn. twin.

I'll agree it will fit but it is a lousy fit. Too narrow in my opinion. And since the original poster wanted to build an A/FX car with a flat hood, I wonder if that hood would clear a 427 with 2-4 barrel carbs.

The hood from the '66 hardtop does not fit the AWB fastback body

The Altered States Models shorty fed body is the right width for this chassis but needs to be cut down to work as it is too long. Also a top gas car would not have been running 426 hemis as the eliminator was gone after like 1971 I believe.....I think the only guy who ran one was Jim Minnick in a single engine car that was way shorter than this chassis. I plan to build one using 2 of the 426 wedges from the Tony Nancy 22jr kits ......2 392 hemis are what is really appropriate though. Not enough money in Top Gas for the late hemis to be affordable.

A Devin was in no way intended to be a replica of a Corvette.

Why are they selling this as a Hemi Under Glass when it is not even close.........they really should sell it as the Plymouth Dealers car

MPC took a lot of liberties with their engines.......the original engine does look like a rat. The "firefighter" Mustang reissue like the original Ford kits has a windsor engine, not a Cleveland like the real ones did as well.

I believe there is an issue where the tools for the tires and/or glass are missing from the '62 annuals which is why Revell was never able to do anything with them. If I remember correctly, those kits used an odd tire.

Walthers should carry Tichy products

The other engine/trans is the FE from the 1969 Mach 1

Fuel injection would not be legal in NHRA FX classes.

The engine in the IMC Lola is smaller because it is a 289 Ford , not a Chevy.

To add to what Dave said, the MPC modifieds are pavement cars with dirt tires while the AMT Tobias chassis cars are dirt cars with pavement tires!

How about the AMT parts pack tall ex-MPC M&H slicks?

Fred is a good guy and you can get great deals from him but his good stuff sells really fast! I too have missed out on stuff I wanted, even back in the day when he mailed out the lists and I called quickly.

The Pinto and Vega modifieds are based on a '55-'57 Chevy chassis and are pavement cars. The AMT modifieds are a Dick Tobias chassis and are dirt cars. Ironically, both kits have the wrong tires for those surfaces!

Back in the day, the cars were level when standing still, but would lift the nose on acceleration.....think 90/10 shocks on the front so a lot of lift and little rebound, The pictures of the cars in motion give the wrong idea of the stance when parked.

I think Jerry Jardine would be disputing that spelling......

maybe, but it's annoying, like the "Muldoon" instead of Milodon on the Slixx KS Pittman sheet or the "Stahl-Muffler" instead of Stahl-Moroso on a Slixx nostalgia drag sheet

Jardine Headers is misspelled on the decal sheet.........
