Can-Con Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 Easiest way to tell the "Super Charger" reissue from an annual is the fender openings. The annuals had a character line around the wheel openings. This was smoothed off for the NASCAR version and not replaced when the kit was restored.

Can-Con Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Just now, slusher said: Is the Super Charger based off the 74 Charger! Yes. The body was used to make a couple NASCAR kits and kinda restored back to almost stock in the early '80s.

charlie8575 Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 After that IH COE, I'm betting the next big release will be a recreation and upgrades where needed, of one of the 1958-'62 annuals that don't have any extant moulds. My guess is it'll be either a 1958-'60 Lincoln, or the '58 Ford. Both seem to be fairly popular on eBay. I also wouldn't be shocked to see a Buick or Pontiac. Charlie Larkin

Can-Con Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 This is my original '74. Hopefully, you can see the character lines around the wheel openings in this shot.

Oldcarfan27 Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 Did I miss something? Did they say they were going to reissue the 74 Charger? Sure has been a lot of talk about it on this thread.

keyser Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 64 Ford tow car is a Galaxie. Big Fords were all Galaxies 62- on, 59-61 was top trim level. Though a 64 Fairlane ht would be nice. NGH.
