727 Torqueflight transmission

[Steamboat]

I went through all my built models trying to determine which has the best 727 Torqueflight transmission.  Here are the results:

#1 - Polar Lights 1965 Dodge

 

#2 - Revell '69 Dodge Dart (on right, MPC on left, sorry for the bad focus)

 

#3 - Johan Chrysler turbine car

 

The rest -

Lindberg '64 Dodge

 

Johan '68 Chrysler 300 (nice torsion bars too! - NOT)

 

Lindberg Little Red Wagon

 

If anyone knows of others that have more detail, feel free to add.

Is that the snapper kit?

I think it was the snapper.  It was pre-painted.  The detail on the transmission is surprising.

Thank you. It's definitely about the best of the bunch. Much helpful, you posting these shots.

I believe that Competition Resins also cast the 727 trans in both the long and short tail shafts.

What about the revell 1968 Dodge Dart 2in1 it has a 727 behind a 440 (right side of pic)

or the monogram 41 Willy’s pro street it has a 727 behind a 396 (left side of pic)

It is the snapper-I'm finishing up a 65 coronet convertible for a buddy as we speak.

And who says snappers cant be good..?    Some of the snap kits are great in my opinion...I still enjoy them just i do much better with them than I did many years ago..LOL..

Nice information to have.

Those would be my own choice. Thanks for the reference shots (though I believe the engine on the left is a 392 Chrysler hemi, which is, I suspect, what you meant; 396 is usually a non-hemi Chevy displacement).

Yeah you are right it is a 392 I just got mixed up and wrote the wrong number down.

I feel your pain.  The pre-painted body is nice, and the Torque-Thrust wheels are awesome.  I could never get the twist out of the body, though, no matter how hard I tried. The left front wheel doesn't touch the ground.

 I'm beginning to like the Revell versions more and more.  The oil pan is what makes it realistic.  The chrome one on that 392 is pretty sweet.

I like the 727 TorqueFlite auto trans in the Revell '69 and '68 Dart's 727, too. Lots of close up pics of the '68's BBC and 727 here: 

 

The AMT '71 Dodge Charger R/T kit also includes a nice 727, though I don't have any better pics for comparison:

Hmm, I had no problems building mine and all four tires touch the ground.

The 65 coronet conv that i'm re-doing. came metallic blue-i re-did it in an older g.m. color-a medium red pearl-haven't decided on the wheels yet mine is kinda like the red on this one.
