RancheroSteve Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I would think that driving one of those would be "hell" enough already even without the lettering on the side, jk. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're carrying the '71 Dodge Demon, and previously sold the Supernatural '67 Impala with the Pentagram decal. Though this might be more on the nose... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up a bagged kit at a show last year, hopefully it will build up into something presentable. All I need is a new decal sheet.

TonyK Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Is this just gonna be a passenger car with a decal sheet? I would think the real car would at least have a roll bar in it and maybe some other things I can't think of without some research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 The thrill show cars didn’t have roll bars, they were pretty much stock. Some of the earliest ones (late Forties) had the gas tank moved inside the trunk if they were used to do jumps, but that's about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volzfan59 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I'd like to get one of those Mustangs if it came a four banger. Love to build a mini-modified or a mini stocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The four from the AMT Pinto should drop in. Both AMT and MPC put V6 engines in their annual kits, as '74 was the first year for those (and the lone year Ford didn't offer a V8 in a Mustang). AMT put a V8 in as the optional engine, MPC would do likewise starting with their '76 kit. But for a four, you'll have to go to the Pinto kits. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl LaFong Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 A shame it isn't the MPC Mustang II, the AMT chassis is kind of meh.

Easy enough to crib a 4-cylinder from the recent Pinto kit, then swap the 2.8 into the "Flaming Pony" - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmak Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Does anyone know what year this kit represents? I know they are all fairly similar but there are differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last year of the AMT Mustang II annual was 1977, and the releases after that have always been branded at 1977s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 The only one that is really different is the '74. Changes from '74 to '75 on the 1:1 cars include a slightly taller grille and header panel (to accommodate the V8 option), different hood, and relocation of the fuel filler higher up on the quarter panel. The annual kits (AMT and MPC) have the differently shaped hood opening and relocated fuel filler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also came with two batteries under the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, what I know of the MPC Mustang II's: 1974 was a new tool 1974 the Firefighter and Dyno Don prostock released 1975, body retooled to a 75 (hood and header panel was different) 1976 the kit '75 was reboxed as a 76 1976 the Cobra II was released 1977 the previous kit was reboxed 1978 the King Cobra version was released 1978, 80, 83, 85 and 2005 the Pro Stock kits were released with different boxes. ALL pro stock versions are 1974 bodies. Now, an interesting observation from the AMT/Ertl Street Custom Mustang II was AMT in the box but boxart was an MPC. Suspension shown on the side panel was an MPC kit. So is the MPC variant still around? Hope so Edited September 18 by Sledsel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 The MPC Dyno Don Mustang II was a '75. When MPC did funny car or pro stock kits that shared the stock body, they did one per year, in between annual kits, to get more use out of the tooling.
