This car was based on the Mustang II from about 1976 and raced in the IMSA road race series in the US. It was actually a semi-monocoque car. Charlie Kemp was pretty competetive even though he nevr got any backing from Ford. I think the engine was a fuel injected 302. The other cars in the series at the time was Porsche's 934,BMW 3.5CSL and Chevrolet Monzas.

I dindn't even know that Gunze made that kit. I remember Revell or Monogram making something similar to that with an engine withe a really large rear spoiler. Similar paint scheme too.
Great work! I used to love modeling race subjects, but got carried away with modifying road cars. :)

The kit was boxed and sold by Testor's in the US.The Revell kit was a mid 80's IMSA Mstang GTO car.

See what you mean about so ugly it's pretty! Pretty damn mean, that's for sure!!!
Excellent job, lovely kit!

Thats one mean looking Stang.

Competitive enough to get a kit made of his car, at any rate! ;)

I love it! The side-exit exhaust is awesome!:coolguy:
