MPC "Street Funny" Kit/Series

[zot]

Just saw this on Ebay. Was this the only kit or was Street Funny a series like Street Freaks? Were there any other kits like this?

[mcandela]

There was a Vega also.. Man I have been looking for this for a long time. I had both back in the 70's.

[Dr. Cranky]

I'd never seen that kit, looks fabulous.

[Draggon]

There was also a GTO. They were pretty cool, the GTO had blue tinted glass, the huge racemasters from the Ramchargers dragster, and those great zoomies. I had the GTO when it was new, and saved the glass, tires, and zoomies. I found a pic of the Vega, bit none of the goat.

The zoomies pictured in the auction are what caught my eye. I am pretty sure that they are in one of the reissued kits that have been released recently. Maybe in the AMT 72 or 67 GTO kits since the GTO was part of the series also. Need ti find one of my kits and see. I found a pic of the GTO.

[Draggon]

Dang, thats it! I sure loved that model.

Maybe more of these optional parts will show up in future re-issues.

[Rob Hall]

Neat...never heard of that series.

Thanks for the pic, brings back a lot of memories.

Would be nice to get them back! 

But most likely they will not come back since the tooling was modified and updated over the years. But, from what I was told once, the '72 SSlasher Chevelle had the Street Funny parts still in it. I have not had the chance to look at one to see if it is true.

Those are just pics I found on Google.

Some thing very similar to the Zoomie Headers in Zot's post is in the "Smokey the Convoy Chaser" Dodge Dart kit. You might look there for some. They should have been in the 1975 Dodge Dart kit that Round2 had out a couple years ago, but I never got the kit. I did not see them on the bottom of the box in the parts layout. I have no idea why Round2 would not have thrown them in.

I just picked up the GTO Street Funny, very good condition, a few parts off the trees, seems complete with decals...now, what to do with it

Not the best image, but the supercharger and associated chrome-plated parts are still present, so they should be part of the MPC Bill Jenkins Pro Stock reissue soon:

Wow, they cut out quite a bit.
