MPC GTO Super Stocker-original....

[hurtubise56]

Since Kyle mentioned in another thread that he's starting on this kit, I just had to dig this one out of the display case and show it.  It's an original from 197?  This build is over 45 years old, and other than the small chip in the red stripe on the driver's door, it has held up well.  Testors spray bomb yellow, no clearcoat.

Man Brian...that really looks good! I also have quit a few Modern stocker kits. That's a 77 gto, I think...LOL I wished I could get a hold of that AMT 65 GTO that you showed in the other thread.

Wow this looks awesome. I love how they’ve run the exhaust on this. I was recently at Tyler Roahrig’s shop, who runs (and wins) alot of pavement late model and sprint car races over here and asked him how hot his foot box got. His exhaust was run similarly and the left header turns back right next to the foot box. He said it gets pretty warm especially when he’s wide open a lot. Just thought it was interesting when I saw it. I just got my gto in primer before I left for Florida so I have zero progress so far. Haven’t even decided a color scheme. But if mine looks half this good when I’m done I’ll be happy!

Wild pipes. Nice job on the build. Great to see a survivor look almost new after all these years.

Thanks, Jordan! I have other old MPC builds from the same time period that have massively peeling decals, not sure what the difference is with this one.

Added a pic of the chassis bottom before it went back in the display case.
