u r correct-i had to go check my dcals again-brain getting old,  any idea about what kit had his brother KIT?

I've seen "Kit Carson" decals, but never paid attention to where I saw them.  But now with the names being different, the connection is lost.

nothing really great, the superstang is i think a drag only chopped 66 mustang. was first kit i built back in 1971.  i have a built one to redo but its driving me nuts about the "kit carson or garrison" driver

The chassis in this kit is originally from the '65-'66 annual kits, same for the engine.  Molded-in dual exhaust was added for the Mach I concept car (first kit with this fastback body; the Superstang is the third of four).  Parts unique to the Superstang include the hood (molded with the hole in it), blower, drag wheel and tire option, and filler piece for the grille area.  The kit is molded in yellow.  The blue color used on the box art car suggests to me that AMT was trying to make this car look like the Malco Gasser.  MPC was selling a lot of those back then, maybe AMT thought they could grab a few sales with something that looked like it.
