om617 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Got this old MPC some years back. Was lucky to get it reasonable because someone been very entusiastic about using glue,a real gluebomb. Hood was glued shut,glass and some other parts where destroyed. Soaked the entire thing in Purple Power around a week before the 4 layers of paint let go. Thankfully the scripts where good and also managed to get the tail lights out. Short sum up. Lucerne Blue,Sandalwood interior,400 engine and 400 auto. 1971 first year the rear spoiler was optional,this one from Missing Link. The dealer installed vinyl stripes are from Keith Marks. These stripes are not shown in the original brochure but was avalibale at dealers and you might seen them back in the day,or on restored cars today. The air cleaner decals is not factory,but i did add one anyway. Thanks for looking and hope you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
