I bought an MPC 1980 Road Runner (labelled as "Fuzz Duster") via eBay , and am pleased to report some great things about it ; to wit : - It can be built stock ( there was some conjecture about this , as the box art alludes to a customised-only version . Rest assured , 100% of the previous releases' factory stock parts are still included ! ) ; - The 1980-only grille (square head lights and Diplomat grate) is nicely done ; - The old standby 318 / 360 with its backup TorqueFlite is still there ; - Minimal flash . Of course , the stock tyres are still moulded in polystrene ... however , they are at least black in this iteration ! The 1980 Road Runner was relegated to an option package ("A57" , as were all 1976 & up "Road Runners" ) . The real downside was its "power"plant options : - Standard 225 Slant Six - 318 two barrel (four barrel in Calif Emissions guise) Naturally , Direct Connection sold performance upgrades (Edelbrock manifolds , Holley carbs , etc. , etc.) . That's how I'm planning to build my version !
