Default 1:5 Muscle Car Bodies

Hello

I am searching a Muscle Car Body for a FG Competition. The wheelbase is 535mm. If anyone has any idea where I can buy it please post it.

My Brother is a Muscle Car Freak (owns a Camaro SS 1967 and a new Mustang), so one of these bodies would be perfect for his birthday.

Thanks for your help.

You can probably get the newer mustang, but not the ss Btw, those are some nice wheels, i have always loved those big muscle cars tearing up the asphalt.... the sound and the torque twist

There are other places to search, but i found the mustang body at the www.raco.co.at but dont know if they dont update their site very well, or it's just aint in production yet.

Thanks for the links Automan. And yes you are defently right, its music to my ears to hear the 427 engine of the ss to tear up the asphalt. Unfortently the car belongs to my brother, an muscle cars are hard to get where i live.

Its going to be hard to find a muscle car for a 1/5 scale. The mustang that was in production is not in production anymore. The raco website probably dont have what you are looking for either. If they do or can get it you will have to purchase 50 of them. I know there is a dodge truck on their site and when I called them on it he said I would have to buy 50 of them to make the order.

for sure check Raco Europe. Wolfgang rocks and he knows everything. Right now he is out on tour racing so email response may be slow.

I know MCB (model car bodies) in the UK have lots of bodies being developed, there to busy at the moment to have there website done, but I have seen the plans for a 69 stang, 67-69 camaro, 70 cuda. I think one of them will be turned into a pro mod (dragster). When I have more info I will post it here!

well yeah..but I lean more to the style of the fast and the furious.. I got a static model with a blown HEMI ..I'd go to the extent of putting a small electric motor inside to drive the pulleys between crank and blower.. maybe a cam type lobe to make the engine shake aswell

and before anyone gets on their high horse ..yes I know that was a '70 charger and not a '68-'69
