AMT Truck, trailer and cobra

Anyone know about this? AMT 1953 Ford Cobra Racing Team 1:25 Scale 3 Model Kits in One 1073

It's reissue box art of a combo kit from late 60's. Probably out a year or 2 now? I forget. 

The 289/260 Cobra kit is in there, with the retro stuff from the latest Round 2 issue. 

The great AMT origin '53 Ford F100 in there too. (Flip nose was MPC).

It has the trailer first seen in 64 Vette kit I think, and in the Fireball 500. This is 2 axle version. I forget what the others had.

Good pics in Cobraman's review.

One of the best things in that combo kit is the decal sheet, with "Shelby American" and other useful markings for the Cobra and the truck.  I wish Round 2 would release that sheet as a separate item, like their Coke and other decal sets.  I'd buy several. 

I already have the kits and trailer in that set, so don't need any more of those.  The decals from that kit sometimes turn up on eBay, but not very often.

I had just never seen it before. Thank you for the info. :-)

I bought two of these kits. One set I built and the other in my collection. The decal sheet is a very good one, at least I think so. I have seen the sheets alone posted on the bay and bought two I think for about 10 or 11 bucks.
