A question for Ford 427 cu. in. fans.

Back in the late 1960's, didn't AMT produce a model of the Fairlane (or other model) that had the "Tunnel Port" version of the 427 cu. in. engine? If so, can you still find these models anywhere?

AMT does have (had?) a 66 Fairlane 427 model (still available on ebay) but I don't know if its a correct "tunnel port" 427?

Had to be '66 or on, Fairlane or Torino.

Hey Jim. This looks to be the kit you may be after. Check out the side of the box. Kind of looks like the ol' 427 Tunnel port engine.

'Course you don't have to buy it from this guy as I see other listings on Ebay for cheaper but this one had a side view of the box with a pic of the engine.Wink

Thanks mustang. I hate going at this sight unseen, it'll nickel and dime you to death.
