MPC Daytona Transport Truck

[Dr. Cranky]

I just saw this one over at MODEL CAR ROUND UP and wonder if anyone has either information or pictures of this thing built up. I am assuming another kit fits in there . . .

I am drawing a blank trying to remember if I had ever seen this one.

Interesting subject matter.

[Chuck Most]

Is that the on with the Toronado transaxle?

Thanks for posting this, I had not seen it before, but glad we combined both posts into one.

l have never seen one of these in the past, l wonder how good it will build up.???

[RJWood]

Mine should be here in a day or two.

this was a pretty neat kit i knew about it before its re-release but it was always out of my budget on ebay. its really cool i plan on doing some stuff differently mostly in wheels and paint department.

chrome is much better than whatever eco chrome amt has been using.

2 different sets of window options

neat little box thingy

decals

If you open that chrome, can you please post another pic. It's hard to tell exactly how the wheels look through the bag.

[jw78z28]

Just got 2 of the 5 I ordered today other 3 will be shipped with the 2 50 olds I oredered. Glad to see this one back.

I really hope they wont be a hobby shop only item like most older re-issues. My brother had the original one with the rail dragster...always wanted one.

I got mine yesturday - very happy with it. Also my girlfriend is fascinated about that kit and she told me, to build it "now"! She wants to see every progress of it. The first time, that she is as hot like me, to get my hands on the kit!

Here a closeup from the plated parts:

This kit is absolut cool - i am happy, that they re-issued it.

Interesting design...reminds me a lot of some Hot Wheels, Nylint and Tonka trucks of the era....

[Erik Smith]

Is the OHC 6 the same (or similar, block wise) as the 6 in the 67-69 MPC firebird? Any shots of instruction sheet showing engine?

I've always loved the 3-spoke chrome wheels found inside this kit! They are a little-bit "custom, racing, sports car, mag" all rolled into one!

What are the (4) tires like inside this kit? They look to be pretty wide, and kinda low-profile!?!

That's the Barris Supervan. I have a kit of that.
