disabled modeler Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Id like to see some 60s/70s kits with Ford...Chevy...AMC straight 6cyl engines for an option . A buddy of mine owns a early 70s Plymouth Gold Duster in 1 to 1 he drives it has a straight 6cyl with a turbo.
xsthomas Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 I bought a new Jeep CJ5 in '76 . It had the 258 straight 6 cyl. I remember It had the Chevrolet bowtie emblem cast on the side of the block. I thought that was strange at the time. It ran pretty good. I had bigger tires on it, used it here in Carolina on the beach fishing.

I do remember at the time when I noticed it, I wanted to show it to my dad as he was a Ford guy.
