Now THAT would get my interest . Me personally it would have to be something out of the ordinary. To get me to open my wallet , and As much as I like the cars of the 30's.... I have virtually no interest in main stream makes / models ( fords, chryslers, or GM's ) give me something from the top coachbuilders of the day and I 'm in

Not 100% sure but I think the blue streak tires are mid to late 60s to very early 70's time period. Reasonably sure by the mid 70's it was mostly white lettered tires

I like it.,,,, a lot I have one to do in the near future

Isn't the competition resin dester body a 1970-1972 body style ? the last ramchargers car would be a 1973 - 1975 body style

On one single kit, I bought a sealed inside MPC 1968 Color Me Gone funny car, I paid $500, sold it a few years later for $500 I have a limelight 1970 Cuda promo I paid $600 for it. both were probably close to 10 years ago I just bought a nice built Charlie Allen Dart AA/FC maybe 3 months back and I think it was about $150 As a general rule, if it's something I really want and I can afford it at the time,,,,,the sky is the limit. But generally I keep it in the under $30 range for readily avail kits and/or builders/builtups. I usually look for older annuals than I so for more recent re-leases

If I may make a suggestion. You don't have the Goodyear polyglas with the small solid white letter in a either the E70-14 or E60-15 to very popular tires sizes for the OE crowd

ps, I don't think the remote hand held starter that attaches to the upper blower pulley arrived till mid - late 70's

1968 Hawaiian funnycar.

Yes, most if not all funnycars back then carried there own battery and used the stock starter

No G70 series was ever avail on any Hemi cars. 1966-1967 used a 7.75-14 ( blue stripe in 1966 - red stripe in 1967) 1968-1969 used F70-15 and was the only tire avail on Hemi cars these years ( avail in white or red stripe ) 1970 -1971 used F70-14 as standard with F60-15 as optional in 1970 -71 ) 1971 Hemi B-bodies had the G60-15 ( not 100% sure if it was the standard tire or the optional tire over the F70-14 )

Great start so far. I have the 1965 2 door hardtop to do this fall as well so I'll stay tuned . Interested in trading off the spare 4 door truck cab in the back ground ?

Are you kidding, If I plan ahead I'll never get anything beyond the ' idea ' stage of things. I get more ideas from stumbling onto pictures than I do than actually trying to find pictures / ideas. Most of what I do is vintage drag cars and usually finding pictures is the easiest part of the project

They ran a 1969 Dart funnycar, 1970 and 1971 Challenger , 1972 demon and I believe they also had a 1973 ish Dart bodied car PS, the 1970 and 1971 Challengers were 2 different cars, ( different grilles as well as different chassis designs )

As far as I know, All hemi A bodies were black underhood, Not 100% positive but I think Hurst painted them . Reason being Hurst had to modify the pass side shock tower to make the engine fit

As far as I know MCW and R+R are / were the only ones making a sedan A990 body style

Resin body I assume ?

I like it, kinda reminds me of a certain Beach Boys song

The 2 smaller tires I have no use for . the wheels I have very little use for. But if they had done a similar 4 set pack of the just the slicks as in other tire parts pack, I would be all over them at retail. so I am less than enthused with how they're packaged. That said , anyone that buys this set and doesn't want the blue streak slicks , pm me

from the factory ?????

I wish Speed City did one. I have both an MCW and a Spped City AFX Plymouth bodies. Althought the MCW versions is nice and I will definitly use it ,,,,but there is no comparison between the 2 companies. and btw, If your building the car I think your planning, don't you need a 2 door sedan ?

Sweet, Friend of mine owns the 1/1 identical to it. http://www.bobmalcom.com/all%20pix/100_4634.JPG

ditto

Looking at the picture of the partially boxed kits. I think thats the 1968 Color Me Gone Charger funnycar kit . I don't rememeber ever seeing a molded in blue 1968 Coronet kit

Even though I do own an airbrush. I use rattle cans almost exclusively. Although I have 2 builds planned for this fall that I think I may use an airbrush on, because it's a 3 color car. And I think I can control edge lines better and less chance of color bleed thru with an airbrush
