MPC "Street Funny" Kit/Series

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.

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.

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.

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

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:
