Stef Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Excellent! Looks like a recolouring of the box art for the Warren Stewart kit. IIRC, the last time this kit was available was back in 2000 as part of AMT's Millennium collection. Judging by the box side art: ...the chassis looks near identical to the Valiant/Scamp/Dart kit HPI Guy built a few years ago, with exception of the tinwork, from behind the driver's seat, to the back of the car. I've never built either kit, and would love to get this one, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all share the same chassis and most of the roll cage. Built one of the Petty cars so far. More to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr mopar Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 AMT is also bringing this one back ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Is this the same Dart that was included with the Ford race hauler in Richard Petty livery? If it is, I have one if anyone wants to trade for something. I built the truck, will never build the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racephoto1 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I actually worked on one of these in ASA oh so many years ago. They could take a beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Wonder if they'll rename it something like "Troll" to avoid those pesky licensing issues, like they did with the '36 Chevy, Pinto and Vega? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris V Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 On a side note, the AMT Dart/Valiant Sportsman kit can be combined with Lindberg’s (ex. Palmer) 1972 Dodge Challenger to create a reasonably accurate replica of the experimental Challenger “kit car” Sportsman racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body shell on the kit in question is like a '75 or '76 Dart Sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
