MPC's '75 Vette Droptop back on the streets!

[Faust]

I know that most of us have our comfort zones. We like certain kinds of planes, or cars, or whatever, and we tend to focus on subjects in those categories. For me, when it comes to cars, I’m probably most well-known for, and most comfortable with, loving the losers. Chevettes, Citations, EXPs and Omnis – these are what make my world go around.



Still, every now and then a kit comes along that encourages me to branch out. One perfect example of this is the MPC (Round 2) ’75 Vette convertible. I know, I know… you’re thinking “Why would he build a Vette?”. Still, you have to admit that the ’75 convertible is one of the slipperiest automotive shapes to come out of Detroit, pretty much ever. I find it very attractive, and I was very excited to get a hold of one just the other day.



So, while it doesn’t have the cachet of loserness that some of the other Round 2 reissues do, I was compelled to buy one. It doesn’t hurt that ‘75s are also pathetically slow, too.



Check out this newest offering from MPC, another interesting “back from the dead” offering that proves you can have your Vette and build it too!

Excellent review. Thank you. I think R2 offers those injector stacks as a parts pack too.

Thank you for the review. I also purchased the kit and have the original issue along with the hard top issue. In the original issue the suspension actually works and I hope with some modifications this can be made to. Thanks again and enjoy building.
