By the looks of it, it would be a good one to.

That should be an awesome build Adam. I got to visit the Blue Max racing shop in Dallas Back in 1980. Ron

Oh very cool! I look forward to it, never done a funny car.

Very nice kit. The drawback is the front axle is too wide, the tires rub the inside of the body. Also be super careful putting the rear axle through the holes in the frame. pretty delicate.

Nice review, had bought this kit at the last model show, have not opened yet, did not know has multiple engine parts..

I've never built one but apparently as one person mentioned the engine is "universal" and choose your valve covers depending.

MPC back in the day made a generic almost featureless engine block with multiple heads and such that was never accurate for either the Ford Mopar or Chevy engine,so whichever you build is fine.I had this and the Kalitta kits in my youth in the 70's and didnt realize back then the MPC funny car and nascar kits used generic multiuse engines..lol...I do now.

@@sodakmodelcars It's fun,if you want accuracy you'll find the Polar Lights funny cars are far superior although the MPC body is nicer.Polar Lights body is kind of thick,if just for fun the MPC is an easier build.

I'm planning on doing a Shirley Muldowney version. I assumed this would be the version to use as it was boxed as a Connie Kalitta car.

@@sodakmodelcars Ya,her Mustang was hemi powered,Connie's Mustang previously was Boss 429 and Cammer powered until Ford pulled out of racing,the cammer was banned,and the Boss 429 nitro experiment was stopped.That's when all the Ford funnycars went to hemi power,GM followed suit with thiers amost immediate as the Rat was never competitive in funny cars really.

Decals are super brittle

Good to know

MPC Models Poorly Created! I’ve never seen anything MPC have decent fit. This looks like the molds were at least cleaned up .

I hear the Decals are junk and fall apart !
