Sorry. I dont remeber what is in the kit. But there was a 426 street wedge available in the car (it was blue i believe) but it was single 4 barrel inductuon only. Only cross ram power plant avail in 1965 was race hemi. They were a light orange

When ever I look at some of these wild one off show cars. I wonder. What ever happened to a lot of them. I know several have survived from back then ,,,,but this as an example I've seen or heard of before makes me think its gone edit, just used google and found out this particular car was done in the 1975-76 time frame. and went thru a couple changes . but still exists . residing in the Daryl Starbird museum in Kansas

Just an fyi, you are correct. the cross ram intake was never avail in a 1965 Fury. although the 426 wedge was it was single 4 barrel only

The 426 max wedge was not avail in 1965 , 1965 was hemi only.

Nice, I have an MPC 1968 Coronet I plan to use to build his 1968 Coronet R/T for myself. I think I have a spare MPC 69 hardtop, If I do I might build that one as well I already have his 1965 Coronet AFX car in scale . And the body painted and decaled for his 1964 Dodge 2 door sedan My ultimate plan is replicate this actual picture only in 1/25th scale

Thought I would ask here. Anyone know if the decals to do Any version of Bucky Hess's 1968 Cuda are or were produced. ? If so where can I find them ?

True, So very very true

Same here and Ive got just about all of the original annuals between 1958 and 1964 with just a few holes to fill in But if I have to narrow it down a bit . It would be REALLY close race between my Johan 1969 GTX and my MPC Barry Setzer Vega AA/FC

Looks pretty good from my seat. I built this very car a long time ago. Been thinking I need to try one again. I built the Badman version last year and loved it

Yea, I got a six pack style duster hood for my Sox and Martin build from the same seller. It and this grill are in the same box

Garbage, dropped it in a box , most likely never to be seen again

No where in my comment was it a personal attack. whether YOU think it was or not. MY comment was based on Facts , Nothing more, nothing less. Clients pay for 6 advertised issues PER YEAR and are getting 1. How is that an attack ? Please enlighten me yes, I know Ill have a pm coming and this post will be deleted without reply. But I'll feel better

As a general rule , And as far as Mopar produced ? Yes. 1 head light per side, and the wider flatter hood scoop Keep in mind ,,, back then privateers used a lot of the same tricks the big 3 used. So its not 100% out the question you might find a single head light grille in a wedge powered car in vintage pictures . So keep that in mind. There are several pictures out there of a particular Golden Commands car. At least ONE of there race cars back then started life as and per the VIN # is/was a Max wedge car then evolved into a hemi car

Where is the best place to get both of the AFX comets in one swoop ? best i've found on ebay was nearly $100 with postage for the 2, at that $ I'll do without them

No inner headlamps is a Race Hemi thing ( Race Hemi started mid 1964 , then all of 1965 only,, early 64 was still Max wedge ) Had nothing to do with lightweight or not. As some Max wedge cars were lightweights and had stock grill / head lamps ps, Light weights from Mopar in 1963 and 64 carried aluminum front end. ( there were other parts that were aluminum as well ) 1965 was acid dipped sheet metal . A company called Amblewagon assembled the initial 1965 AFX cars ,,,, I think its 12 or maybe 13 cars ,,, these car had fiberglass for the bolt on body components . As a side note ALL of them were 2 door hardtops btw . AND, I think only 3 still exist , last I heard at least one of the said 3 its legitimacy is questionable. One of them is well documented to be the actual car its advertised to be ( the Landy car ) The sedan body style AFX cars were privateer builds and found to be stiffer thus better cars in most racers minds.

The 2 door hardtop kit has the 1965 Plymouth Satellite interior trim ( 1965 Belvedere shown here for reference ) 1965 Plymouth Satellite were all bucket seats Where as all the A990 cars had this interior. All were Bostrom style bucket seats from the A100 pickup line sit on fixed aluminum seat risers , NO back seat , very plain interior door trim panels, with no arm rests , They were all sedans so fixed rear widows , the carpet with no jute padding on the backside ( think weights savings ) Pretty much about the only option avail on the A990 pkg was auto or 4 spd. I'm pretty certain the only exterior colors avail were Red, White or Black As an FYI, I 'think' they were all champagne gold interior color . Although Ive seen some red so cant 100% confim one way or the other on this tidbit .

ps, turn your shifter around

Might be. But nothing in there lineup interests me.

Everything you need to know about the Race hemi pkg cars is at racehemi.com Here is a snippet from there to sum up the 65 cars quote 1965 Race Hemi Lightweight Package The light weight package offered in 1965 was only available on the Dodge Coronet and Plymouth Belvedere-I two door sedan (post) bodies. As stated in Chrysler documents "The balance of the unit, the interior trim and seats is basically the same as the 1964 Hemi Charger Super Stock." There are however some changes that include: 1. "Light weight" thin steel front fenders instead of aluminum. 2. "Light weight" thin steel hood with hemi style thin steel air scoop 3. "Light weight" thin steel radiator core support and grill support brackets. 4. Engine weight reducing parts that include a new magnesium crossram intake manifold instead of aluminum. 5. Aluminum hemi cylinder heads 6. Aluminum water pump housing and thermostat housing 7. Aluminum alternator brackets The thin steel fenders, hood and scoop were a direct result of NHRA no longer allowing cars to be produced with the aluminum parts used on the 1964 Race Hemi cars. EDIT, Ive always been of the understanding all race hemi cars were 2 door sedan body styles. ALTHOUGH , there are a few race Hemi 2 door hardtops known to exist. I was told years ago they are/were an anomaly and how they became to be is unknown More Dodge and Plymouth Maximum Performance Wedge and Hemi Packages The following is a list of Maximum Performance packages and race engines based on Maximum Performance packages.

PS, got the dash. still need to ck and see if I have the glass

Saw this few days ago. No idea year.but it was pretty cool to see with Alaska plates, But we were a long way from Alaska in southern Arizona

I'm afraid that ones done. Shame, they were a really nice looking convertible Now, the questions is. Whats that on the other side of it. My 1st thought was 1960 Imperial convertible but it has the wrong tail fin for that ? I ' THINK' its a 1960 Fury convertible. Another VERY nice looking car from the period

The flash kit is the only one capable of building a true A990 version right out of the box. Which is what the majority of the Super Stock mopars started with.. The Missle car is a hardtop. Thus had the wrong interior as well. The other version they make (black car on the box ) has the right sedan body ...bot sure a out the interior. But wrong drivetrain.

I had the exact same decal issues, Mine turned out nice , but not as nice as yours.
