OK, going to throw my hat in the ring for this one...Built this when these kits came out in the 90's from Accurate Miniatures. Took the coupe and cut off the roof. Fabbed the rear deck panel and scribed a spare tire access cover on it. I did use a portion of the original roof for the spoiler. From the parts box .I went and put a ZL one aluminum 427 engine in it for giggles, and put turned aluminum pulleys from Parts by parks on it. ( The original small block cars would lift the front tires off the ground on straightaways) LOL...Added all seat belts, plumbing and linkage to round it all out.I used the kits decals. Paint is Testors flat insignia red and flat white with a clear top coat. Tires are from the Fujimi Ford GT 40 kit. Lettering is dry transfers from Shabo.
