Scorpion
Mid-Engine Drag Coupe

  • Original year: 1973
  • Company: AMT
  • Scale: 1/25
  • Designer: David Wilder & John Mueller

Ultra-low exhibition drag coupe carries a sting its tail like its deadly namesake, body pivots open at rear to expose innards shown on opposite panel: American mags, ultra-light tubular chassis, Goodyear tires, mid-ship-mounted 392 Chrysler Hemi, fuel injected and supercharged.

Dave's comments:

Unique styling in this rod with unusual mid-engine design. Tuff box art. Compare to MPC's Skorpion which came out about half a decade later.
