I've got this picture of the car.
It does have kind of a candy look to it .
I definitly don't think it's plain red , nor do I think it's any kind of metallic.
I have no problem buying old builtups.
I've been pretty lucky and most are decent enough to just sit in my case as is. I don't have the heart to take them apart to redo
here are a couple
Change the hood scoop , and I'd drive the snot out of this one .
I did some work on an XK140 ( it was a 1957 coupe ) and it was a slug. So I can see adding some punch to get some fun factor
Correct,and I have serious doubts the car ran with that interior in it .
That said , finding pics of the car back in the day is tough, when you do a search and 90% of what comes back is this restored car
I remember seeing some photos of the car many years ago and ' I think ' it was black ,,but don't hold me to that. almost positive it had aftermkt seats in it .
Chuck,
any idea how well if at all these will fit an MPC bodied kit .?
I like it a lot better than the Revell body
And I have a few old Barry Setzer builtups to use
I've built a couple of them.
It's a pretty simple kit to do . But looks pretty good on the shelf.
Like mentioned, the kits were designed back in the mid to late 60's so plan on lots of scratchbuilding if 100% accuracy is your goal
Do it and enjoy it,,i did
Today was a very good day.
ABout 3 pm today , it moved under it's own power for the 1st time since approx 1994
Cars owner was pumped to say the least .
1970 Challenger Rt/SE 440 six pack 4 speed 4.10 Dana.
There were no interior door or rear trim panels on the car ,,nothing but sheetmetal, and yes it was all Petty Blue.
Edit,
did some ck'ing and now I am not so sure
found some pics of the #41 Plymouth and it has silver sheetemtal over the interior door opening
I have a Gold Leaf 1972 Barracuda promo. I've always liked the color
I can get a better picture tomorrow if u want , this pic doesn't show the color very well.
A buddy of mine collects Mopar matchbook sets. He has a bunch of them ,,mostly 50's and early sixties books.
I collect Mopar dealership promotionals ,,, At least I used to . Prices have skyrocketed and pretty much priced me out of them.
But I do have some nice ones
Agreed,
Ronnie and Jake King are both gone. Not sure about Dave Christie.
I had an opportunity to meet Ronnie, Buddy and Jake King several years back. But gave up waiting in line to do a meet and greet. and walked away,,,big mistake as Jake passed a year or so later
