MPC Street Fever Vette

[James W]

My niece found and bought this kit for me (78-3709-202) and at first I thought it was just a custom Vette.

Then I saw that it looked like the Mako Shark.

How accurate is this kit. Could a good replica be built from this?

Should be a close reissue of the original MPC Mako Shark II

Not sure what changes were made other than the wheels

[Junkman]

The wheels and sidepipes are about the only changes. The rest is 100% fishy stuff.

"How accurate is this kit. Could a good replica be built from this?"

James, as best that I can recall, yes you can, the differences that I can recall are:

The wheels, (as already stated)

the exhaust, (on the original issue there were no side pipes)

and finally the grills on the hood between the hood edge and the power bulge are not in

this issue.

I've included a pic of my original Mako Shark II so that you can see the difference.

Hope this helps.

Thanks; Chris, Christian and Jerry.

I may have to research and build this one. (My niece says I cant resell it)

Maybe I'll make it look like a production version in street trim, 427 tri-power and rallye wheels, or a dirt tracker like my Lincoln Futura
