1/16 Revell 73 Hawaiian Funny Car rearend wrong, looking for resin replacement

[Lee Yoder]

Good Evening All,

The referenced kit above has a Halibrand quick change rearend as the provided part.  My research indicates this is incorrect as most FC's of that era used a Ford 9" or equivalent.  I have conducted Google searches for the correct rearend to replace the Halibrand, but have come up empty.  Does anyone know where I can get the correct rearend?  Does anyone have one they would be willing to part with?

 

Later,

Lee

Here are some reference pics to a very similar car from the same time period which should help. This one has been restored, but it's pretty close to what's inside the Revell Charger F/C kit: https://www.dragracermag.com/features/vels-parnelli-jones-mustang-funny-car-a-horse-of-a-different-cuda/

The Revell 1/16 Vega and Grand Am F/C kits contain a Ford 9" style rearend, and it mounts the same as the Halibrand style quick change rearend if I remember correctly. If you post a want ad in the Wanted section, maybe someone has one to spare or trade:
