The best fit is the Silver Bullet by McAllister I bought 5 different bodies until I found one that was long enough and wide enough..plus they look good to...they are new old stock so not advertised on their site anymore. Here's a picture of one on my BBT

The only problem with the body set is that the tail has no bottom to it...it doesn't curve under like it's supposed to. It will look ok on the chassis but not authentic..I have a tail left over from another body set that I could list on BST for a few bucks if you're interested

Hey Mike I think I put you wrong on that body...just got a Ascot and the bonnet is shorter but the other McAllister body fits...I think you want the Gambler..
