A friend gave me the AMT chassis and the body was in a group of other bodies that I only wanted one of. I had both of them at opposite ends of my bench then, suddenly, they merged.
Any suggestions? Anyone know who made the body? A purple 36-D seems right.
I've seen these chassis go for $75 on evilbay, not that it's important to me.
Also, any idea what year?

That chassis is for the AMT Fantum, repops of the original body are available on eBay and elsewhere if thingies are your thing.

Body could possibly have been made by Booth Machine.  The dimples on the flat part of the mold was characteristic of their molding process.

Thanks guys, I'm just amazed that
the body fit like it was made for the chassis. Who ever made it did a great job.

Booth copy of the Dynamic Lola T70 MarkIIIB coupe.

BTW the AMT chasis fits the original Lancer Ford J model body even better.

It's amazing, how much knowledge is available from the Slots Bloggers. Maybe there's hope for the internet after all!!!
Martin, I'll keep a eye out for a J- car but, sometimes ya just got to go with what you got.
Now for the motor, purple? It's set up for a 36-D.
TSR, maybe this is the exception that proves the rule. Had they not copied it,I might not have one,or known of it. Beautiful car, I'm thinking yellow with red& white stripes.

Am I missing something,a drop arms mabe ? Aluminum with a sliding brass guide?

[Mark Onofri]

Nope, evidently they made a F-1,Indy type also.

Mark, the open wheel car you refer to is the Bandido. A mate to the Fantum.  Both Thingy's.

No drop arm on either BTW.
