MPC 1969 Coronet R/T with Day-Two Wheels/Tires in Code R6 Red

[tim boyd]

This model was built by combining the body of an MPC 1969 Coronet R/T faux funny car kit with the interior and chassis left over from my 1968 Dodge/MPC/Car Model Contest 4th Nationwide finish.  The engine, driveline, chassis, suspension, and dual exhausts were swapped in from the AMT-Ertl 1968 Road Runner/1969 GTX/1970 Super Bee kit series.  

The paint was Testors Dark Red spray enamel, which is a very close approximation of 1969 Dodge Code R6 "Red". It was built in a showroom stock / "Day Two" configuration with aftermarket wheels and tires being  the only deviation from production line content. Engine compartment detailing includes ignition wiring , PCV Valve, throttle linkage and return spring, and heater hoses.

The model was built and completed about 25 or so years ago.  (Looks like a few paint touch-ups might have been appropriate after viewing these way larger than life pix, too!)   Thanks for looking...TIM

Super job! Mopar B bodies from that era just can’t be beat for style IMO. Nice work ?

Good lookin' Coronet and looks like you whipped the air cleaner decal into shape. Fantastic work on a great car.
