• Straight Line Saturday....
  • They're both "Colts". Sorta. *NM*
  • Wouldn't mind having one of these in 1/25th. *NM*
    • X2...prefer the look of the Sox car. *NM*
    • At one time I had a resin one.... Can't for the life of me remember who cast it. *NM*
      • I did a search of decals over at Slixx. They sell 2 different sets for a Dodge Colt. Both item descriptions mention "This decal is designed to fit on the Colt Resin Body by Southern Motorsports or RMR Resins." *NM*
        • Very cool! Thanks I'll check it out. *NM*
          • Doin the happy dance! I got one. *NM*
    • There was a kit, unfortunately it measured out at about 1/22 or 1/23. The four-door kit is roughly 1/26 *NM*
  • My thought is both same size Colt's but different years... Look at the bumpers, The RS bumpers stick out maybe newer year than the SM car. *NM*
    • The C pillar and rear glass are totally different as well. *NM*
      • Well that tells me they are a year apart especially with the bigger bumpers.... You wouldn't think it was a Cricket would you..... HMMM *NM*
        • I'm no expert on those cars , but that might make more sense given they are from the same season.
        • Cricket (Hillman Avenger) was only imported through the end of 1972, and only wagons and four-doors *NM*
          • I only mentioned the Cricket because in HS my girlfriends dad was a Foreman at the Chrysler plant in Belvidere and he had a 4 door he used for a work car. Only reason I remember that name. *NM*
    • And don't forget, being "Altereds" I'm sure the body shape rules were pretty lax. *NM*
      • They're probably AHRA Pro Stockers running NHRA Altered class. AHRA allowed the "captive imports" early on, NHRA did not until about 1978 *NM*
  • Looks like ones a 73 the other a 74 going by roof. Googled 70’s colts and they both come up. *NM*
