Hurst Olds to Cutlass 442 Conversion?

[Intmd8r]

I know that the 1:1 was mainly an appearance package,  but does anyone know if there is such a conversion available to turn the Revell Hurst Olds to Cutlass 442?

Would expect it to be a decal package at best.  Would be easy enough to modify the "Lightning Rods" to a traditional floor shift.

Thx

Can you start with the #4446 '85 Olds Cutlass 442/FE3-X Show car kit instead?:

You mean the Unicorn?

I know these kits exist, but I have never seen one in stock at a store on on-line.  No doubt this would be an awesome kit if you can find one.

Just asking about a conversion kit since I have a pair of un-built Hurst/Olds in my collection.

With Revell getting back on its feet within the last few months, I don't doubt supply isn't exactly plentiful, but it's hardly a unicorn, and you can buy two on eBay for a reasonable price right now:

I think you might be best off posting an add in the anted section, hoping someone parted one out and didn't use the stock, 442-specific parts. Buying the specific parts you need from an eBay seller who parts out kits and sells the parts in groups is another option, too.

Maybe I don't know-- are there parts specific to the stock(?) 442 version you want o build which are not included in the 442/FE3-X issue of the kit?

They're slowing coming back into stock:

I just picked this kit up at Hobby Lobby two weeks ago, give it a little time and they should make it to your area.

Here's a link to the kit on the Hobby Lobby website, for US $29.99. You're in Canada, so I'm not sure how expensive shipping will be.  There's a Hobby Lobby in Niagara Falls, NY, if that helps.
