Modelmartin Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Sounds like a Jo-Han kit to me. It's pretty sought after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a mail order company for models,tools and parts named Auto World,sounds like maybe just a grabbag of funny car parts from them.

mr moto Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I'm not familiar with that kit but I'm old enough to have bought from Auto World and I remember the grab bags! They were $1.00 added to your order. I decided to try one once expecting that I'd get a few decals or something but instead I got a complete 1/32 scale Revell Ferrari GTO slot car (easily worth over $100.00 mint now). I was blown away! In fact, I restored it and put in a new motor a couple of years ago. Anyway, from then on I always got the $1.00 grab bags and they were always awesome!

flatheadgary Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 could it be the hurst hairy olds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James W Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 If it is JoHan there probably was not a real funny car prototype. They did alot of funny cars that used the same bodies as the stock kits, it probably has door handles and windshield wipers etc. The Hurst Hairy Olds has radiused wheel wells front and back as well as front and back openings for the blowers. It is a Monogram. Sounds like a fun find. How cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
