Monty Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Most of them will be JoHan kits ('66-'72 IIRC), but MPC issued their own '67 Toronado kit way back when. There have been some very nice ones shown on here over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 MPC did '67 and '68 kits. Jo-Han did '66-'72. '67, '68, and '70 are in AMT boxes but were manufactured by Jo-Han. Jo-Han did all promos except '67. MPC's '67 is the more accurate of the two, Jo-Han's '68 will be more correct than MPC's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 No matter the manufacturer, they’re all going to be expensive. Steve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Especially '71-'72. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed the '66 - '70 JoHan Toronados would basically be carryovers with the possibility of interior updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 The company doing the promo would have the more accurate kit for that year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 It is easier to find a promo than a kit (if you have to have one). Sometimes one pops up at a decent price. That said, I have been looking for a 68 for a long time but I am cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 If you're just looking for the UPP (the engine/transaxle/front subframe), the MPC Californian got repopped last year so it should still be plentiful on hobby store shelves and online. Converting one to stock Toronado body would be an ordeal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
