Looks like the same basic dash was used from '71-'78 on Pintos.

I looked at one in my pinto ports 77 had square gauges…

Early Pinto dash?:

Yes, AMT to be exact. And you are correct, up to '78 are all the same.

[Casey]

Can anyone identify the kit(s) source(s) for these tires?

Top row, starting on the left:

• 1) narrow Continental, no size
• 2) Firestone Indianapolis, crossed flags logo opposite
• 3) Holley M/T cheater slick, but it appears to be wider than those in the re-issued MPC '76 Dodge Dart Sport?

Bottom row:

• 4) Dunlop Racing 5.50 - 15
• 5) Goodyear 9.50 - 16.5 Hi-Miler Wide Tred (not a typo)
• 6) Firestone, with the crossed flags opposite. AMT vintage Indy-ish? Smooth tread area.

goodyear high millers came in 1st issues of the Ford F350 before the 2 pc tires. The firestone indys came in a later issue of the Willard Battery Special indy car maybe the 3 pack  Indy set

[Mark]

I'm reasonably sure the Continental tire is from an IMC VW Beetle.  The M/T cheater slick was in a few MPC annual kits between 1974 and about 1976, also the silver '67 Charger street machine version.  The Dunlop tire is IMC also, pretty sure their issue of the Cougar II has them.

Thanks, I couldn't remember where you mentioned that recently. ?‍♀️

Thanks. Is it correct that this one pictured is wider than those found in the re-issued MPC '76 Dart Sport?

[Mark]

No, that's the same width.  That cheater slick was tooled in only that one size.  There is a styrene version of it too, same size.  I have a pair of those, but don't know which kit had that version.

I've had a couple of the MPC '78 Dodge van kits with the twin engine drag version that also came with this tire. I'm guessing any earlier Dodge van kits with the twin engine version had them as well.

[Mark]

Never had the '78 van, but I did/do have the '71 and '72 passenger versions, the only other issues with that dual engine setup.  Those kits had the tall/hollow M&H Racemaster dragster slicks.  They of course predated the other kits I mentioned, which started appearing in '74.

And, now that I think of it, the '78 Monza annual may have had them too.

[Bainford]

Thanks for the correction, Mark. Until recently I thought the twin engine option debuted with the '78 kit. Just a couple months ago a saw an early 70s Dodge van glue bomb on ebay with the twin engines, and wondered what years they were issued.

[mk11]

Those M/T slicks also appeared in the original mpc sedan delivery kit.

The #2 Firestone Indianapolis is from IMC's first kit, the 1963 version of the Lotus Ford. There are front and rear versions of this tire, and I'm not sure if they appeared in any other IMC kits. This Lotus-Ford is not the same kit as the much more common IMC '65 Lotus-Ford. The '65 Indy winner is the one that Testors reissued in the 1970s.

 

[Casey]

Thanks, Don. It appears I've happened upon a treasure trove of oddball IMC tires.?

[Casey]

I have a few more parts which I could use some help identifying. 

1) 1968 valance panel, painted light blue, from...?:

Two spoke type wheels:

Three (two on left are same) consoles...two on left might be from USS Enterprise? ??? Valance panel on bottom appears to be early second gen Camaro, maybe?:

 

Dashboard:

 

Fire boots from AMT fire show rod?:

 

[pack rat]

The console in the middle of the pic with the molded-on shift boot is from the MPC '68 Barracuda (maybe in the '67-'69 Cudas too?)

The yellow triangular piece at the bottom right looks very familiar.....I'm thinking a custom window filler for an MPC '68-69 Charger? 

The dash at the bottom is from a later B-body Mopar (Roscoe's car etc)

 

Edited February 24, 2022 by pack rat

[Can-Con]

Blue valance panel is from a '68 Thunderbird.

[Mark]

Left spoke wheel is from an AMT Cobra.  Early issue, later ones were widened on the back side and the outer edge altered to work with hollow tires.

Other wheel is AMT (made by MPC) Bill Cushenbery Dream Rod, later used in the MPC Magnum GT II (ex-1966 Dodge Monaco).

[Rodent]

If you can be talked out of it, I actually could use the Thunderbird valance. I have a complete 68 body and interior, but the front valance seems to have gone missing. I don't know what I will ever do with it, but it would be nice if it was complete.

[Don Sikora II]

I'm pretty sure the valence in the picture with all the consoles is from an AMT '74-'77 Camaro. Also pretty sure that the console next to the triangular yellow piece is from the Revell '64 Impala SS.

[Casey]

I have a few dashboards I could use help identifying.

Top black dash is MPC '67-'72 Chevy I believe, likely from the "Heavy Pedal" issue?

Second is '70 Cougar? Pretty sure that tiny script on the glovebox says Cougar, not Mustang.

White dash, no clue...late '50s GM?

Bottom dash, in flat black, does have a script, too, but too unclear to make out.

[Mark]

White one is from either an early Sixties AMT Pontiac Tempest, or Buick Special wagon.

[Mark]

Bottom one is '63 or '64 Ford Galaxie.

[deuces wild]

The one on the very bottom looks like it's from a Galaxie...

Yeah, what Mark sez.....?

Thanks. Looks like the Buick Special Wagon dash is a match:

 

'63 Galaxie, too:

Heavy Pedal was the only one molded in black, so that's a pretty safe bet.
