Hardcastle and McCormick car

The real car was A coyote. However what did MPC use for the kit basis.

They rebodied a Ford GT40 Mk IV kit.

The real Coyote was a kit-car with molds pulled from a Manta Montage, which was in turn a more-or-less replica of a McLaren M6GT.. The stance of the kit is pretty horrible, and the guts have no resemblance to what's under the real car.

I do wish someone would do a decent kit of the Coyote X, it's an awesome car............

It's a good looking thing, but it IS a phony-baloney kinda mashup. The real car its shape is based on, the McLaren M6GT, comes a lot closer to actually being "awesome".

Somebody has done a nice set of 3D renderings of the McLaren, and an enterprising young man could convert this info to STL files, printable.
