Have you ever wanted to build a model of a Jalopy Stock Car, but didn't know what to expect under the box lid?  

Today on the Monster Hobbies Model Car Garage we will be looking at the 1932 Ford Victoria 3 in 1 "Vicky" Jalopy Stock Car By AMT. This is a model car unboxing video. Please take this journey with us as the Monster Hobbies Model Car Garage removes the cellophane and shows you what's in the box! 

The  AMT 1932 Ford Victoria Model Kit was originally part of the AMT Trophy Series cars released in 1961. Since that time, the AMT 1932 Ford Victoria Model Kit has been reissued and modified more than a dozen times. 

This time around, the Vicky has been released with a special instruction sheet from Dirt Track Racers that helps you build this car as a Jalopy Stock Car.  Despite it's age, this kit has held up well and is easy to build.

The beauty of the 1961 AMT Trophy Series Ford kits is in their interchangeability of parts between all the other AMT 1961 Trophy Series Ford kits. This kit actually shares 90% of the components found in the AMT 1932 Ford Phaeton kit. 

The custom swap-out fun begins in the Trophy series as each Ford model car came with a custom 1958-1961 era engine that had the same length and engine mounts as the other Ford Trophy Series cars. Along with the factory stock 221 c.i. Ford L-Head motor, this kit comes with the all new for 1961 Ford 427 c.i. motor. In the early rendition of the Vicky/Phaeton kits, the motor came with six carburetors and a dual tube intake manifold, but this edition includes the 1970's reworked Ford 427 c.i. "Nascar" style motor with the large 4 bbl carburetor, air cleaner and intake manifold.

However, if you wanted something different, you could swap out this motor for any of the other motors in the Ford Trophy Series kits, such as the vicious 1961 Oldsmobile 394 c.i. motor with the Hillborn fuel Injectors from the 1939 Ford Tudor Sedan kit or the beautiful all chrome Thunderbird 390 c.i motor from the 1934 Ford Pickup Truck. That was the beauty of the 1961 Trophy Series car kits!

There are three ways to build this model kit. 

The first is the "Direct from the Ford Factory" 1932 Ford Victoria.
All the factory stock parts to build this version are included in the kit. You will use the  factory stock universal chrome pieces, such as the rear deck handle, bumpers, wheel rings and hub caps, and fuel filler spout. The car rides on four skinny Firestone tires and uses the Ford 221 c.i. 65 h.p. engine.

In the custom street coupe version, AMT gives you the new for 1961 Ford 427 c.i. engine with a NASCAR style 4bbl carburetor, air cleaner and intake manifold. The exhaust manifolds look very factory stock, but they mount up to some pretty cool tail pipes with mufflers that stick out the sides of the car at a 45% angle. You also get a dropped front axle with radius rods and disc breaks,and an equally impressive rear axle to match. The old Ford wheels and Firestone tires have also been replaced with the "Hole Disc" Mag wheels and Goodyear tires that were popular in the 1990's (From a 1991 release of this kit).

The final build option is the Jalopy Stock Car.  Dirt track Race Cars included their own special full color instruction sheet that gives advice on how to use some Plastruct and other materials to modify this car into the race car. The fenders, head lights, and horn are removed for this version. Less weight equals more speed!
  
The Jalopy Stock Car instructions also show you how to make a roll cage, adapt the engine to look like the one pictured on the box art, and to make a dirt track stone shield to save damage to the radiator for that authentic oval track race look. 

They also give you 3 complete sets of Stock Car decals and local small business sponsorship logos as well as the original "Loop Flames" decal sheet from the 1970's release of this kit. 

The AMT Trophy Series model cars are my all time favorite kits and the AMT 1932 Ford Victoria is easy to build and goes together well.
