1/25th scale 1972 GTO Pro-Stock Screamin' Eagle MPC model kit.
It was sent in by Jim Wallace. There's also a side view of the box. It shows
all the action parts that make the pro stocks the wildest, new scene in
drag racing!!! CLICK->
Here is a model catalog from Jim Wallace. It features the 1972 Screamin'
Eagle car in it. The rear spoiler is missing in this picture. CLICK->
Here are more views of the Screaming Eagle car. This built-up one is from
Timothy Sickle. Timothy thinks it is a re-tool of the '72 GTO which appears
immediately below it on the shelf. GTO model cars SHOPPING at eBay with this one click!

This 1972 kit could be built three different ways. MPC / General Mills released
this one in 1972. The scale is 1/25. The box reads: "BONUS! PRE-PAINTED FOGGING!
BODY MOLDED IN YELLOW, AND BARRIS- DESIGNED FOGGED PAINT JOB ALREADY APPLIED TO
SIDE PANELS!" Dave says the fogging effect was not decals, it looks like
it is actually painted (fogged) after molding. The body is color molded in "gold". CLICK->
These view show the contents of the kit. CLICK->
There is also wording on the box about an "MPC 500 Kit Idea Contest". Here you can see both sides
of the entry form. The 1st image shows what the prizes were. The 2nd image has the rules
and the entry blank. Thanks to Dave for the scans. CLICK->
This one was sent in by Kenny Gregrich. He tells us: "The car is a '72 GTO 1/25
scale kit by MPC and is dated 1980. The kit is molded in a deep red. The body
looks pretty good however a place to cut the hood for a scoop is a little
noticable from the outside and would need a little fixing for a stock version
(not much though). The kit only contains a custom set of wheels (as seen on
the box cover). A set of rallys or honeycombs from another kit would make
the car look nice. The interior, also molded in red features your choice of
stock or racing bucket seats and has a correct looking four speed console.
Decal sheet includes the stripes shown on the box cover, plus 2 "GTO 455 CID"
decals and one "GTO" decal for the trunk lid (although it is not needed
since the GTO is molded into the body). One note is that the body has a
"GTO" molded into the side of the quarter panel and not on the
fender/door as the box cover shows. Sponsor decals include Hays,
Champion, Hurst, GoodYear and MPC. The kit also includes a very
incorrect Judge rear wing. The wing is somewhat the '69 style but has no
center pedestals. The way it is set up on this car, the trunk lid would
not open. And finally the kit also includes the correct for '72
non-cutout rear valance with the side exiting exhaust splitters."
Thanks, Kenny! CLICK->

AMT/Ertl came out with this 1972 GTO hardtop late in 2004. It's part of their Street Customs
line up. Strangely enough, it contains NO custom parts (thankfully!), although it does include a
drag strip Christmas tree; I don't see a GTO emblem molded into the driver's side front grille.
It's #38162. CLICK->
1972 GTO dealer promotional car. The color is Monarch Yellow. This was the last
year for the GTO promo model. John Witzke from Iowa says a unique feature on the
1972 promo is the chrome splitter exhaust extensions behind the rear wheels. You
can click on the picture to see the fullsize version. A magnified view of the splitters
can also be seen. He purchased this model for $180 with the original box.
It is in mint condition. CLICK->
Anaconda Gold 1972 GTO dealer promotional car. The first one (wth the box)
is sent in by Warren Hanbury. The second one is owned by John Witzke.
There are no production 1973 GTO models anywhere on earth.
Many people have said that they are trying to build a model of each year of GTO produced
(1964 to 1974). But that is almost impossible due to the lack of kits for the years
1973 and 1974. Paul Dorton (pauldort@email.msn.com) says for the year of 1973
he got a Johan brand 1975 Cutlass, which was the only kit ever done of the
Colonade body style, which he will attempt to modify to look like a 1973 GTO. Look below
and you'll see a 1975 Grand Am that was built from these kits.
There are no production 1974 GTO models on the planet.
Here's a note from Tim Boyd (Tskmboyd@aol.com) -
"Now I see you have the kit photos for GTO model cars.....you may
want to add the '75 Pontiac Ventura by MPC - it contained a '74 GTO
style Shaker hood scoop and may well represent the planned '75 GTO
that never made it when GM switched the Pontiac Ventura to the Buick
350 V-8 engine that year....it even has "GTO" decals on the decal sheet."
Ok - Here you go! CLICK->
1975 GTO model by MPC was based on a Pontiac Sprint. It could be built with
a variety of funky options including side pipes, fender skirts, black G.T.O. graphics, and
a Buick V-8 engine. As most people know, Pontiac never made a GTO in 1975.
The '75 Sprint is MPC kit # 1-7503. The copyright date on the box is 1974.
It's a "3 in 1" kit with options for Stock, Drag or GTO Custom version.
It's interesting to note that the "stock" version includes the shaker scoop that
came with the 74 GTO. There is no stock hood in the kit, only the one with
the hole in it. Other than that it's a typical mid 70s MPC kit. The decals
include the markings shown on the box plus a "Bonus Decal" which is a 1
inch Bell Helmets logo. It has 4 stock Goodyear Wide Tread Polyglas tires and a
nice pair of Mickey Thompson "Holley M/T" cheater slicks. Thanks to Paul Dorton
for sending me a scan of the 1975 boxtop with kit descriptions.
He says he intends to scratchbuild a '74 front end for this kit to resemble a '74 GTO.
Here's a bunch of other interesting GTOish model kits CLICK->
How about a 1975 Grand Am that was converted from a Johan 1975 Olds Cutlass snap kit
and an AMT 1969 Hurst Olds plus various scratch built parts. It was featured in the
March 1996 issue of Car Modeler. It can be seen at on the web at

This is the AMT/ERTL Rides Magazine Custom Collection 2004 GTO plastic model kit (#38552). This one has a black interior, spoiler,
and 17-inch chrome wheels. The hood does not have hood scoops, so it's a real factory 2004 GTO. This one paint, a paint
brush, and glue! CLICK->
How about a AMT/Ertl Johnny Lightning blue 2004 GTO plastic model kit (#38459). This one is shown with a gray interior.
It comes with a small Hotwheel size blue 2004 diecast. Check out the lower left corner of the box cover.
Let's see pictures of the models you've built!

Says Jonathan Martel - "Very good work on the site, the best I've seen so far. I'm new to the muscle car scene and liked the GTO right away and your site is helping me fuel my passion."
