Title says it all. It was on the cover of one of the model/slot magazines back in the day as well as a pic or two on the inside. At one time I had full librarys of Car Model, Model Car Science, etc., etc.

  

Sadly all gone.

 

Thanks,

 

Joe

Do you mean the Ramcharger Joe? Announced but never released as far as we know. 

 

Here's what I have: ooops, nothing at all. For some reason, the magazine page files were all saved as web pages instead of jpeg. Let me see what I can do here. It was in the April 65 issue of Car Model... 

 

I reproduced the model, which is fairly easy to do, and those photos are normal.

Thanks, Don.

 

I have an unfinished car going off to eBay and would like to see the pics one more time.

 

Yours is actually a '64 but any old Mopar is a cool car.

 

If you are able to reproduce them that would be great.

I'm back. I think somebody has already pointed out the error date on my car. 

 

Anyway, I took photos of the pages in question, here you go.

Thanks a lot, appreciate it. Didn't mean to insult you with the '64 thing.

 

Regards,

Joe

Not at all an insult, Joe - always willing to learn something - and to be reminded of it since my memory ain't what it used to be! 

 

I never paid much attention to American sedans when I was a kid. I was a budding snob for European sports cars, but I do appreciate some of the stockers now.

I've got the 65 hemi Dodge Charger. Might be Pactra,sellerwasn't sure. I'm out of town but I have it posted with the drag racing threads.

The other (2) two are identical but without the tag.
Ps: Thanks Don, I just acquired a chassis like that and wasn't sure what motor it accepted. Going under a 60's 🦈 nose F1 asap.

It was specifically designed for the MPC Dyn-O-Charger Mark. Don't think any other motor will fit without a lot of tape and fiddling! 

 

The motor was sold separately with a Lotus 38 vac body, but the only GP car that MPC sold was the very wide Lancia-Ferrari! Kind of funny they never took advantage of the narrow profile for a 1/24 car.

Surprisingly I've got the correct motor. L.Wollf,Is the body I posted remotely close to what you are looking for?
