Question about a car kit from my childhood

[Ernie]

 I was wondering if anyone has a recollection of a 1/24 - 1/25 scale funny car. This would have been from the late 1970's, perhaps Monogram, maybe based on a "cuda body. The body was white and the chassis and roll cage was yellow and there were fish scale decals along the sides of the body. I seem to remember the rear slicks were two piece and had a molded in flat spot on the bottom with wrinkle detail on the side walls.  I would love to find out what kit this was and potentially where to find another one. I have a vivid memory of building this kit.....or maybe my teenage years were better to me than I remember!!!

Copyright says it was produced in 1975 the year I graduated highschool.  Found online in a search... all I know about it my friend!  Selling on Evil Bay for $175+

Yep, I think that's the one!! Thank you, Joe, I have tried searching for it in different places and on Scale Mates, but Without knowing more I was never able to find it.

I just googled Monogram Cuda funny car model kits and it came up! LOL!!!

Wow! I've been building car kits since '63, and I've never seen one of those!
