You never know what you can find at automobile swap meets. I found this last October. The man selling it told me it was left over stock from his sisters store that closed in the 1980's. I picked it up for $12.00 still sealed.

I am going to build it as a Trans Am type racer. The chassis and interior are from a Scalextric 69 Camaro that had a very banged up body. Stay tuned.

Hot ... hot ... hot

Yes sir it is. Nice find.

My kind of build!!!!!

For realistic detail, you can have the entire rear section rust off onto the ground in a heap! I always wondered if they got the steel for that one from Lancia.

Looks like this is going to be another nice build from Jeff!

i need to find this kit!

They've reintroduced the Falcon/ Futura ute/ pickup and the Avanti so fingers crossed this one will pop up again (if it's by the same manufacturer).

Sorry, I forgot to mention the manufacture of the kit! It is by Lindberg. The box is dated 1976.

I was reluctant to even look at this, but it actually looks kind of "racy"!

I like the looks of it!!

Well it is finished! I ended up painting the body with Tamiya Light blue and clear coat. The rear spoiler is from a Scalextric 69 Camaro junker. The front spoiler is from a 1/25 scale kit. It was in my spare parts box. I just trimmed it an filed it down some to fit. The fuel fillers are from that same Camaro. I used chrome foil on the trim.

The interior tub was trimmed a bit on the bottom, the top of the dash board was trimmed down too. I also made the roll cage more upright, as it was a bit too laid back. A filler piece was made at the rear of the interior tub to fit the body contour better.

I soaked the wheels in rubbing alcohol to strip off the yellow paint, and just left them in the white bare plastic color. I added some random decals too. Not a bad kit, except for the two sink marks in the radiator grille.

It make a cool and different slot car for sure!

Cool is right. You did another great job with this one.

Looks great. The real car never looked so sharp!

Nice ride Sir! Looks very smooth.

Maybe it is time these made a comeback...
