AMT 1964 Mercury Marauder

[jjsipes]

Does anybody know whether this verison of the 64 Mercury still has the stock car parts with it? I believe the older verison in the small box did but wasn't sure about this one? Any help out there?

[Chuck Most]

Other than being in the standard size box, it is the same kit as the small-box version. So, yes, it does have all the stock car parts.

Beware, these old tool kits are vertually curb side kits with a motor. If your just looking for a nice shelf model this kit is fine. Or it can be kit bashed with a newer tool vintage Ford ( 60 or 60 ? ) for a detailed build. Good luck with your project.

I just built the Buyers Choice kit It was stock with all of the 1964 kit parts.

A really great kit. It and the '63 Galaxy share a design philosophy and many parts can be swapped from one kit to the other. 

New Whitewall tires and fresh decals and It is a winner. Nice Paxton Supercharger too.

I still have one of these Buyers choice kits on the shelf. It's supposed to be used for a #8 Joe Weatherly stock car. I also have another one started like the kit at the top.  I can confirm they all the same parts.

One of my favorite kits, it just does a lot right. The body looks spot-on, and is crisply molded, and there's a load of well-done custom parts and extras. Also, it's a sharp body style automobile! Glad to see it coming around again.

[David Miller]

I built this one a couple years ago

I did some modifications on 2, 1/18 diecast of this car. Always been a big fan of this one.
