AMT 1965 Cuda new tool

[tim boyd]

The 1967-69 Barracuda kits (1967 AMT branded, 197/68-69 MPC branded) were formed from updated tooling of the original AMT 1965-67 tooling...the history of all this was covered in the next to most recent issue of Model Cars Mag (issue #225)...the one with the 1969 Rallye Green fastback on the upper RH corner of the cover....TB

Speaking of the '66 Barracuda funny car kits, was looking at the Hemi Hustler kit, and on the side of the box says it has a 426 Fully Blown engine...as opposed to 'partially blown'?

I've got 2 of those Fireball 500 Kits, sitting in the stash.

I wonder how hard it will be to do just an engine swap?

Is the Stock 273 V-8 in the Lindberg Li'l Red Wagon a viable swap choice for a regular, V-8 Barracuda?

I've got one of those too.

The More I see of this little kit, the more I like it.

I have a 273 from a Little Red Wagon kit just for a 65 Barracuda project.

If I decide to build one stock, Im thinking this , just for grins

Mods, Can we just combine the threads on these new kits? 

What existing topic would you combine this with that only talks about this new 65 kit? All the other threads where this new kit is discussed is combined with other kits. If there is a stand alone topic on this kit already i apologize, but I did search before i started it.
