There are some kits that I have not been able to identify from my youth(70's).

First one was a mid-70's Dodge (maybe a Plymouth?) molded in black body style looks to be that of a Cordoba/charger styling with round head lights.

Second was a AMC Gremlin maybe molded in green and stock in appearance. I don't think it is the current AMT re-issue.

Lastly a model T car kit with hot rod option or stock build option.

Gremlin and Dodge / Plymough

July 5 2009, 9:23 PM 

Lindberg did a 1/20 scale Grabber, if memory serves, it was a snap together curbside (no engine but some rediculous faux snap-in piece in the hood). I don't remember any other kits of the car. AMT did do a Pacer (a 75 I believe) I had two of them as a kid, I saved many models from my childhood, that was not one of them. I may still have the Gremlin.

As to the Plymouth/Dodge is it a two-door? If so, it may be an MPC 1975 Plymouth Road Runner. Having an uncle that had a 71' with a 440+6, the 75 model real car was pathetic by comparison, but it looked decent, and the model was pretty decent. I still have one I built as a kid stowed away someplace. I think the original had some ski equipment with it.

If it's a four door sedan, it's probably the MPC (originally) Dukes of Hazzard police car, perhaps the TJ Hooker release.

If the "T" is a 1/25 scale kit, standard Model T, I'd wager it's probably the AMT. It has been reissued MANY times and was sold by the boxcar full. There are several hot rod versions of the T and the "T-Bucket" by several manufacturers and in various guises.

Hope it helps...
