Does that Kent Fuller dragster have a Chevy engine? And is that the only option?

[Old Buckaroo]

This was my first mail order kit that I ordered from Auto world back in 1977 for the price of $2.19 and $1.00 shipping.  I know I drove my mom crazy asking if it had showed up everyday !

I had acquired another about 10 years back but my son claimed it as he's a Mopar guy. He took it with him to Bahrain, now its in South America.

This one is complete except decals. And I made sure to ask my wife if it came in the mail everyday since I placed the order on ebay 😄

The artwork shows a Pontiac engine.  Those Atlantis kits include two engines; not sure which other one is in that kit as it has not yet turned up around here.  

The Chrysler 392 has been used in the Studebaker kit, the small-block Chevy with the supercharger atop the engine is now in the '57 Chevy hardtop kit.  The turbine engine isn't really "right" for a dragster (and probably doesn't fit the dragster chassis anyway).  So, besides the Ford 427, Pontiac, Cadillac, and the other small-block Chevy, that leaves the Buick yet unused.  Hopefully it will resurface in one of these kits soon.

Well I'll be a monkeys uncle, look what can be included in that Mopar Nat's package I spoke of. At a closer look the black on the Champion sticker, Walker sticker, some of the outline on the 0 of one of the 405 H.P. and the upper tip edge of the 3 on one of the smaller 43 numbers is missing. The other option is when I attend the NNL East this April, take them along with the other decals I plan on talking to STS decals about reproducing. Your call.
