mpc 1972 GTO
Posted by phoneguy on Thursday, January 7, 2010 6:11 PM

Hi Guys, I'm new to this thread, normally build planes and helos.  I just got a 72 GTO off of ebay.  It seems that the dash, steering wheel and decals are missing from this "NEW" model.  Does anyone know where I could find a replacement or is it possible to fabricate one?  Any pics would be appreciated!  The numbers on the box are Q1-0748.  I'd like to build this, the "GOAT" is one of my favorite cars.  Thanks for any help.

There's a guy on eBay who sells all kinds of coool auto decals, and better than stock quality. His seller name is r_gravley

Here's a link to his store online-- Gravley Merchandise  If he doesn't have anything, eBay is still your best bet!

Even for parts, check eBay. Or alternately, write to the manufacturer and request replacements--lots of them are very helpful is fulfilling requests and orders for defective kits,

The MPC GTO is now made by AMT. They're the same kit. Check their site; you may be able to get replacements from them.

I just found a remake on ebay and got that one.  I'll combine the two and work on that.  Thanks for the info!
