MPC kit made as imaginary concept car. Inspiration came from 1971 Plymouth Road Runner Rapid Transit concept.
That's why rear decklid/bumper and front grill were modified.
Engine is modified to look like Chryslers 444 cid Ball Stud Hemi prototype engine.

I agree with everyone else on the paint color and finish. The body modifications are well done and look like something from that era. Like the stance.

Very cool! It looks like it could have been rolled out of the Chrysler Design Studio in Hamtramck. Nice choice of colour and the stance is perfect. Good job Ville, I love it!

Ville,  this is superb.  It definitely has the Rapid Transit concept car vibe.  I love the work in the trunk. -Mak

Just a great looking build!  Is your engine from the kit or elsewhere?

I used the block from the kit. Then added 426 Hemi heads and valvecovers. I sanded the spark plug holes off from the covers. Then added intake, carburetor and air filter from my parts box.

Nice. Very creative. The headlights remind me of old European Fords. The color is pretty catchy too. Very clean build. And that engine...
