jjsipes Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I am working on getting things together for the Moebius 1965 Melrose Missile Super Stock kit. Was wondering if anybody had an idea for the interior color? Thought I had seen Gold for the interior but I am not sure where or if I had seen it now. If it was, was it the stock door panels that looked like the attached photo or were they the stripped down door panels like the A990 cars? Guess the same question for the Golden Commando car as well.

Mike Williams Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hi Jason, the photo you show is for sure a Sport Fury interior, a '65 model. The 64's had a nicer dashboard though. As far as I know, the A990 cars had either beige or red interiors, the panels being very clean, smooth and without any fanciness. I had many, many hours and ride time in a red 64 Sport Fury, back in the day. Good luck with your project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 So according to the book "Maximum Performance Mopar Super Stock Drag Racing" the Winternationals had 4 - 2% A/FX cars. States that they were hard tops with the Tan L1T Suoer Stock interiors installed from the donor sedans. Guess the interior panels are incorrect in the kit?

gtx6970 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Ive read elsewhere long ago that the 1965 MM car was a pieced together car. Odds are the interior was a mixture of parts. So I have no idea which is 'correct' for this car BUT a 1965 A990 car would have this interior. Problem is, the A990 was a sedan , where as the MM car was a 2 door hardtop PS< Tamiyas Champagne gold is a very good match for this color Edited October 3, 2019 by gtx6970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can find all kinds of pictures of the AWB but not many of the 2% car. I have read it only ran the 1 race I believe before being converted.

I believe you are correct. , And yes, Pictures of the SS car are far and few between . I remember reading years ago this car was a Hodge Podge or parts sp to speak and was NOT amblewagon converted as the other AFX cars were.

Fury became a bigger car starting in 65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
