Question is Revell's 70'Torino GT and Torino cobra..

[Mr mopar]

Is the body of the Revell 70' Torino GT the same as the 70' Torino Cobra ?  just the body .

[unclescott58]

Basically. Just minor trim differences between the two cars in real life. Mainly grille and taillights. The GT has louvers on the quarter panel, just in front of the rear wheels.

Yes, the bodys are the same. The louvres for the GT are moulded to the body and have to be sanded off for the Cobra version.

Thank you that's what I needed to know Awesome!

The early ProModeler GT version and the yellow Cobra versions have a slightly different body than the green car that's out now, they changed the rear quarter panel area because they got it wrong the first time. There's a thread about it somewhere.

That is why I asked ,so I could get the correct body's .before I build them so I will need two green kits.

Thank you all.

Thank you all.

No problem, I had bought a ProModeler GT and two yellow Cobras and had to recently buy two new green ones to get the corrected body.

Why could Revell correct the body on the Torino but do nothing about the current Camaro, 'Cuda and 5L. Mustang?

I don't know? Why?

It took them a decade to do it, they fixed the 57 Ford pretty quickly so hopefully they're getting around to it.

Fat Brian, Do you want to get rid of one of the Torino Cobra's? I want one for a Nascar conversion. I have the GT. but it is not correct for a Nascar version. That is what I want to do with my build.

I'll have to see of I can piece a whole on together, I've picked them over a bit. My goal is to build one mildly modded Cobra and then use another to build a King Cobra with a resin nose I have so I'll need both of the Cobra style taillight panels but will have an extra Cobra grill.
