Have not seen one of these in a long time.

That's a pretty cool kit what nice is it has the regular nose also so you can build it either way.

Thar's real?

Imagine the backlash if they made an Obama funny car?

 

[migace]

"Runs every four years" all those quotes on the box are hilarious ?

I have on in my stash and it is a really weird little deal. I think it was normally a Monza Funny with the addition of the nose piece to make it more "Carter" like.

just amazing that this is a kit thanks for the photo wow

all they did was add a "face" and decals to an existing kit; if you think THIS is amazing you should have seen what the model railroading industry was churning out during his term. BTW change the shade of paint and leave the engine out for an Obama version

LOL.... I was thinking a Chevette engine, but you are right, no engine is better

I wonder if "This" tooling still exists?

That 'Face' nosepiece would Make for a great conversation starter.

[JTalmage]

Man, thats creepy. I'd have to toss the nose piece out just because I wouldnt want to stumble across it each time I dig thru my parts box, because it would creep me out each time!

[62rebel]

hang onto it! cheap false teeth!

[Dave Van]

I still have mine....mint condition. 

The 'mouth' is not only a different plastic it looks like it may have been a epoxy mold or maybe aluminum .....other short term use tooling.....so it may have been tossed years ago.

....so it may have been tossed years ago. 

We can only hope....

[junkyardjeff]

I do not remember that one.

[Daddyfink]

I'm just glad his brother got a more normal kit! 

[Chuck Most]

One of the local shops had one of these, factory sealed, for years on the shelf- I think they were asking 35 bucks for it. Never got it. Wish I had, could have done a troll face drag car.

We can only hope...

 

They should have kept it and molded it in glow in the dark plastic. Would have been a great Cheshire cat funny car, "bnothing but the smile"
