I received that kit for my 12th birthday from my next door neighbors in 1977, with that exact box art. It was a really fun build.
That PLYMOUTH is a nice kit. Your build up with the 6 is cool and a nice build.
kool , love old amt kits from my childhood...thanx for sharing
RJ
👍🏻👍🏻
Once back in 82 I had that model kits but I believe different box art
👍🏻👍🏻
cool kit
That is a very interesting version of the kit. The current version comes with the in-line 6 cylinder engine, and a Buick Nailhead. Even though it does not appear to be a correct 340, AMT did attempt to put a Chrysler engine in the kit.
We have had some heat here in Bluefield, WV. A couple of days the thermometer in my car registered 91, and one day was 92. Normally the temperature here is between 75 and 85 degrees. Bluefield is the air conditioned city, and the city serves lemonade when the official template hits 90 degrees or above. The official temperature here has been in the 86 to 89 range.
Thanks for sharing.
HAHA I CAN REMEMBER THOSE AMT TIRES FROM MY CHILDHOOD AS WELL, AND EITHER CUTTING THE SIDEWALL WITH A BRAND NEW BLADE OR MY FINGER, SEEMS I WAS ALWAYS CUTTING MYSELF BUILDING MODELS, GUESS I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SNIFFING THE GLUE LOL
Lol!!
I love that kit! Gonna make a video about mine one of these days...
Cool video, man!
Thanks!
Have this model (original release) my first car was a 1941 Plymouth, Special Deluxe business coupe (201 cid) in Mandarin Maroon 🤗Oh, yeh! Bought the model for .50c 😳real one for $400 😬
Too cool!!
The oil pan and front cover look right for Mopar.
Putting models together as a kid I thought flash was just part of modeling, I clean it off and go on and think nothing of it.
I built this kit about 20 years ago and painted it a similar green to the model on the box. However, I built it as a stock '41 Plymouth with the flathead I-6. and skinny tires. I believe it was a slightly later issue, though.
Yeah had this in the 70s....❤
Hey Matthew it’s been mid 80s low 90s in lower Michigan where I live really enjoy your videos I build big rigs
I have several AMT catalogs, and a few product listings as well, from the 1970s. I did some sleuthing and the best I can tell, the first '41 Plymouth kit (T148) was released in mid-year 1976. It doesn't appear in the '76 catalog, but it's shown in the '77 catalog without any indication that it was a "NEW" kit for that year. The "Rocker" version shows up as "NEW" in the 1978 catalog, and was listed as a January 1978 release. ScaleMates is a fun little reference, but can't always be trusted. The first-issue kit could only be built stock; the "Rocker" could only be a street rod. They were getting away from multi-version (3-in-1) kits around then, probably thinking they could sell more total kits by separating the versions into their own kits. We had a heat wave up here in western New York last week, with three or four days of temps in the 90s. I know, you're thinking that that's nothing, but if it helps, we usually get high humidity on those days as well. Yesterday we had nice, dry, crisp Canadian air. Re: those tires, yes, I definitely remember ruining many of them by cutting that center piece out. You described the experience perfectly. And here I thought it was just me being a klutz.
You´re correct, I have an AMT catalog from 1978 (no Ertl, no Matchbox, just AMT) where this kit is listed as a new release
That is an interesting kit for sure. I live in Denver, we hit 100° today (Tuesday) breaking a 690 day streak with no triple digit heat. Just glad we don't have humidity like you do in Georgia. That would be miserable! Great video, Matthew👍
👍🏻👍🏻
I'm up in East Tn..it's been low 90s but heat index is 100...air conditioning has been out for 3 weeks..getting a new one installed as we speak...
Pushing 90° degrees here with our share of rain Matt. It's so bad right with the rain that they got flood gates running 24-7. Other then that, very cool kit to build. May have to get a older one now like what you have pal
Hey Troy! 🖐🖐
@@modelcarvideos5829 how you doing my friend!?!? We are both trying to survive the heat and rain I guess😊
98⁰ here, and gawd awful humidity here in So.ILL.
Mid to upper 90s 70%humidity this past week in Massachusetts
I have the Coke version. It came with both engines. You have inspired me to make this my next build
I have an AMT catalog from 1978 (no Ertl, no Matchbox, just AMT) where this kit is listed as a new release
Here in Iowa it was in the high 90's° with the humidity it was 102°
I think your stock version was really nice! I'm building models again and got the Coca Cola version (Ollie's $12.99) which is a stock or custom version. From the start I was building a hobby class round track so many parts left over to maybe use one day. Maybe. 🤔
👍🏻👍🏻
👍 👀 👍
The last few days in southern Washington state has been in the mid to 70°s an hit 80°-81°for a day or 2
i built it in the seventies as a gasser with blown hemi and flip front and tube axle looks a lot better than stock to me
I was in Las Vegas this afternoon where the thermometer in the dashboard of my van said it was 114F.
Now that is HOT!
Cool kit. I just finished the Coke version.
Nice!
I have never seen that kit. Looks pretty cool. Thanks for sharing
I'm not a big fan of 🔥 flames myself but do appreciate ghost flames to a point as long as thay aren't overwhelming
Cool kit ! I have been eyeballing some version of that kit for a while. Put some skinny's on the front and descent engine, Your MCW paint job and SHOW IT?? Nice video!!
Nice kit Matt. I havecthid,exact same one. Paid $15. at an antique store about two years ago. I have one built. Great kit. Our temps were in high eighties with a nice breeze and not humid here in Pa. Thanks for sharing.
I did that 48 years ago I had that
Cool!!
I have that kit in my stash. I have the other versions, too, but the box art on this one drew me to it.
Luka Cee has a couple of videos about saving old decals.
Thanks for sharing Matthew. Phoenix, Az (aka Hell) here. Official temp today was 111 but when I was out mid afternoon my car said it was 114. Nice kit and you got it at a steal. Yes, flash back then was extremely common. When you bought a kit you knew were going to spend an hour or so cleaning parts. Those tires were the worst. Trying to cut or clip the centers out never went perfectly. After you're done you have to choose which sides to show. Interesting comparison. During that era of kits they all did variations on their kits. Use the same molds but add and subtract parts to fit the newest concept.👍👍
It hit 80s for the first time this year. 88 yesterday, 81 today in Central Montana. 55 and rain Friday. If you dont like the weather here...wait 5 minutes lol!
The "Street is Neat" series came out in around 1973. This has similar box art and photography. I say around '73-'74. Cool kit!!
Not really one that looks at me.
But I do have a Nemesis kit.
Everyone seems to be able to build it except me!!!
It's the AMT 37' Stovebolt Chevy. Since I was a kid I bet I've started 7, or 8 of them. I've to date never finished one.
There's one in the box now. It's about half built. As always got discussed with it and boxed it back up!!!
Matthew, Great video. I did a search on the A M T kit # 2902 / 41 plymouh rocker .I found it in the seventh edition of Bill Coulter & Bob Shelton's Directory of Model Cars It was Issued Back in 1978. Glad I can help you out. Joe B.
Starters are on the drivers side all mopars
Nice 🐎Mr. ED Says Just Have Fun Modeling
Nice kit..... your old build looks good 😎
Kenneth hear from Missouri we've been under heated advisory for like a week straight can we breathe water he gets 100 here and may as well be 110
Wow!
That would be cool if you used the axle and wheels off the amt 70 coronet pro street car and maybe the hemi from it too. Just a thought.
dambit Matt you jus blew it out the water 😁🤩that kit is sweet 426 hemi 1200 under the hood tail dragger😂👍👍
Great price for that version.
I've got that one as well, and another one that I couldn't find on Scalemates....🤨🤔
I believe it's been hot everywhere. It's very tough. I like the 41 you built. I have a tough time putting anything away in boxes where I can't see them anymore. I do believe that kit came out about the 1977 timeframe
Another great video Matthew. Have that kit for years and just haven’t been able to get to it. I see it as a low buck gasser with an old school hemi.
Matt Yes AMT Nade A Mistake With Heads & Exhaust Array Which indeed isn't Correct Fir 318/349 LA Small Block but interestingly Enough the Custom Valve Covers Bolt Array Are Correct For LA Engine Which engine or Heads & Valve Covers From 71 Duster a would fix
👍🏻👍🏻
Oooo...
Sealed kits (2nd hand) are something I stay away from. Reason being, ever get a kit w/ molding issues, missing - broken parts. Now add that possibly to 1 that outrageously priced & hard to come by. Open them, their not a commodity.
Matt, Thanks for doing this video, I looked into getting this kit, like a month ago and was stumped also as Scalemates didn't list it. They shoulda called it the Rouge Rocker. Think your Only unboxing on youtube of this kit. This kit is going for $50+ on Ebay. IF I buy it, it's gettin a 426 resin Hemi in it. Thanks Again Matt
Nice stuff there I like those 41 Plymouths i’m wanting to find one for my collection along with some other orphan cars such as the non-hornet Hudsons preferably Essex, terreplein or Commodore
AMT did several single version kits like that one with only one build option. IIRC, Tim Boyd was the creator of the "Rocker" kit and the 340 V8/street rod parts. i had that kit years ago but must have sold or traded it, i don't have it anymore.
I have the Coke 41 Plymouth kit....planning on building it soon........I need to get on your site and check out the LS engines.......have a good week
The decals scream mid-late 70s, like 77 or so. You are right about starter location. The valve covers were 5-bolt, the bottom two corners are the ones you're missing. The exhaust is not quite correct, but the middle two would be siamesed not unlike a SBC.
Hi,try 109 @ 20% humidity.
Not sure the exact temp. But here in the phoenix area, it was over 110
Nice
The Chrysler 340 has paired center exhaust ports like the Chevy equivalent. On this kit, they're equally spaced like a Ford small block. Odd.
AMT Quite Rarely Did 1 Way Versions of. Kits Exycepl Early in like 63/64. Originally This 41 Plymoth Was 2 in 1 I. Believe in 1973 First issue This Kit Was Produced During AMT shift in Ownership when AMT was owned by Racing Champions or Lesney tge 1 Way kit Was Cost Cutting by Reducing parts Count to use Less plastic While AMT kits Shifted to China Production ?? So its Oddball Version !!
Great info! Thanks!

Hey, Matthew. I trust that you and yours all are well.
I am looking for kits of sedans immediately prior to the Second World War, e.g., the 1942 Ford, Plymouth, etc., that the War Department had conscripted in prelude to the war effort as staff cars for military officers, federal government administrators, designers and engineers, manufacturing executives, etc. I understand that Ford after the 1941 model year had begun a complete redesign-body, drive train, chassis, etc.-so cars (and the model kits of them) prior to that time (1942) would be quite unlikely to be part of this new development, making them unworkable.
A few aircraft model makers over the past few decades have produced combat aircraft kits in 1:24th-scale (one must look carefully, as the older ones from the 1970s are despairingly crude, even uselessly misshapen. By contrast, some of the newer kits of warbird replicas I read/hear are flabbergastingly accurate and astoundingly detailed!), and I would like to place beside them such a vehicle. Similarly, Hasegawa several years past had made a well-crafted, highly detailed model of the Willys Overland M-38 U.S. Army ¼-ton 4×4 light utility truck, the famous Jeep that crossed over into popular culture through television programmes, movies, newspapers, magazines, comic books, etc.
Cool info David! Thanks
@@modelcarvideos5829
Thank you twice, Matthew: first for your thoughts, and next for your promptness. Do kits of 1942 sedans as I describe earlier in my comment exist?
Matt those wheels have steel rings with aluminum centers

The water pump doesn’t look like a 340. And the transmission is nothing like an A833. Not sure what engine it has.
👍🏻👍🏻
AMT Said it Was Supposed to Be 340 Carb Resmbles Thermo quad Heads & Exhaust Are Incorrect
Hey I don’t see it mentioned anywhere, but when you say you are putting painted pieces in your incubator, what exactly is your incubator? I’ve been looking for something to let parts dry and not get dusty so I was just curious.
I've had similar problems with my memory card and lost so much footage that I quit making vids for a while. What do you do with half a video? I've probably gone through a dozen cards . Let me know if you figure out what the issue was!
106 where I live
Didn't Sylvester Stallone drive a supped up '41 Plymouth in the 1986 action movie Cobra?
If their is not a bar code the the latestit may be late 70's.
When you talk to yourself about going on too much about something, I’m wondering if I’m actually hearing your wife say the same thing to you. 😂 Come on man! Time to upgrade the camera finally! Peace and love.
P.S. Any luck yet coming up with trailer tires and leaf springs for me?
What ever happened to the big foot wheels you gonna make them for sale?
