Who makes the 71 Challenger, and where can I get one?
My brother owns a 71 Deputy, and it is very original- except the paint sucks.

To be honest I'm not sure what company made this model. It looks like it might be a promo model as the chassis is held on by 2 screws. I do know it is a vintage model based on the lack of detail, chassis screws and 1971 stamped on the rear licence plate. I bought this from a friend who wheels & deals models and when I got it the model was very ruff. I bought an AMT '70 Challenger just to use for parts to rebuild the '71. The windows, engine, spoiler plus a few other misc parts are from the '70 as these part were missing/damaged from the original model. I do not know where to get one of these other than e-bay. I pulled the chassis off tonight to check for marking's to indicate manufacturer but found nothing on it anywhere so all I can say is good luck on finding one of these.

Here's the picture. I had to enlarge it, so it's a little grainy. I took this picture at the 1989 Mopar Day.

I think it might be an MPC promo.

8)Thanks dge467 I tend to agree that thats what it might be, it's definitely an old model, the screws that hold it together are the originals and somewhat of a "speed" screw (more of a vertical spiral thread). This is the only one of these I've seen though I'm sure there are a few of them around just don't know where...

That's cool, is that a Roadrunner grille I see?

8)Good eye! Yes it does have a Roadrunner grille as the original was missing and this fit nice so I went used it. This was another vintage built up that I picked up, it was very ruff when I got it pieces missing/broken so I used what I had and did a mild custom build...

Nice Builds dge467:cheers:Here is my latest build it's not a Mopar but still a fun build. It's a 57 Chevy "Gasser" p/u, chassis is almost finished just a few small details left. I just mocked up the body for pics but it should look pretty cool for my first gasser model, I just wanted to do something different this time.
