Of all of the TV private eyes, he was the one I liked the best. And still do. His show didn't last as long as Mannix or The Rockford Files, but he did have 3 seasons of intriguing cases. Being from Wyoming, he wasn't a local boy, but he did settle in Boston after his hitch in the Army. He has friends in the Boston Police Department, a beautiful girlfriend, and a friend who could be just as much an enemy when they disagree on principal.
He is only known by one name...Spenser.
Spenser was the creation of the late author Robert B. Parker whose novels of Spenser's adventures have been thrilling readers since the mid '70's. In 1984, a TV movie pilot was made titled Spenser For Hire and was taken from the novel Promised Land. Filmed in and around Boston, the pilot featured Robert Urich as Spenser, Barbara Stock as Susan Silverman, and Avery Brooks as Hawk. Spenser drove a beat-up '65 Mustang in the pilot and through most of the series. My goal is to recreate in model form, Spenser's '65 Mustang as shown in the first season.
The kit is Revell's 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2.
The paint is MCW #6531 Ivy Green Metallic.
The extra parts needed for this build. Auto trans and shifter, steering wheel, and the elusive unknown brand of wheels.
I was going to post this build in the TV/Movie Car VI CBP, but time was not in my favor as I was trying to locate the necessary parts for this build.
Spenser For Hire will return.....
