I am NO help !  .....in finding that body...But I am holding bated breath that "tooling" might possibly surface in the Atlantis (Revell but out) lier. One can only hope!!

Gerry Chevalier has a resin body of a 69 coupe.  Send him a PM.  The Revell 69/70 coupe/convertible kits have not been made since the early 1970s so I would not hold your breath on the ever being reissued.

Yeah, pretty sure that Revell Mustang Grande was butchered to make the Boss Mustang Funny Car.

Bandt did a 69 or 70 but you'd have to look for it as he is not casting now IIRC

 

UPDATE: It was a 70 and he is shutdown for good.

Ive heard that before but the funny car body barely resembles the street coupe body and does not share any other parts that I can see.  I have built both the original 69 and 70 kits as convertibles.

That's interesting, Rex. I always assumed it, simply based on the fact that both are Grandes. I've built the funny car as a kid, but I have never actually seen one of the Revell Grande/convertible kits in person.

Here is one I built a long time ago.

Yeah, it seems pretty clear there is little in common with the two bodies.

One of those Grandes and a Revell Boss or Mach 1 would make a cool kitbash.
