this is a vintage mpc annual 70 charger kit that had been partly built and the wheels and axel and wheel backs were missing when i got it from a friend
i fully rebuilt it using only vintage parts from various mpc mopars
the manifold and carbs and carb hats came from the 68 cuda's 426 engine instead of the 70 chargers stock car 426 manifold and carbs and air cleaner
the rims came from a vintage mpc 71 road runner kit and the front tires and wheel backs and axel are also from the 68 cuda i took the engine parts from
the rear tires are the larger wide tires from a 74 charger and the fire wall is a kitbash between a 74 charger firewall and the the master cylinder/power booster and other raised piece from the 70 charger's firewall and the front wheel backs came from the 77 monaco coupe
i painted the body/ center line of the hood / engine bay area a base coat of eastup hight performance wheel paint imitation silver plating and a top coat of eastup high performance wheel paint red/brown gold
i brush painted the interior apple barrel matte elephant grey and the side stripes i did with black sharpie
i used silver sharpie for the exterior/interior trim

Michelle this is fantastic!  A very 1970s era street machine made from 70s era MPC parts.  Very neat.  Happy building! -Mark
