I’ve modified several of these cartoon vettes into other versions of real cars. This is the stock version, just a snap model with the front end approximately 1/32 scale and it transforms to 1/25 scale at the rear.

The first one I made into a Motion Performance Phase 3. I grafted on the phase 3 hood and put a chrome blower on,added tail lights and Motion decals and paint scheme.

The next one is a Mako Shark 2 made from a 1/32 Aurora and MPC 1/25 Mako kits. I grafted them together and used centers from 1/16 and 1/32 knockoff wheels.

The last one is a replica of an L88 A Production race car. I converted it from a coupe to convertible with hardtop, flared the fenders, added L88 hood and painted it and used decals from the 1/25monogram version of the model.

All are cool.... But the Mako Shark is fantastic!!!

Thank you all for the kind words. Yes Marty the Mako Shark is my favorite too and I wish I hadn’t sold it. I ran out of room and decided to sell some models on ebay and put it on there at a price that I thought no one would pay. Of course someone bought it. I still have my original MPC Mako Shark that I built 30 years ago but the cartoon version I built exaggerates the style perfectly.
