MUNCLE MIKES · CASTING GUIDE
Six ShooterCount the wheels on both sides
Six Shooter earns its name with six road wheels and carries two engines behind the cabin. The shape is unmistakable, but one flattering side view tells you very little about the condition of all three axles.
Interior color helps narrow the comparison
The 1971–72 Hong Kong Six Shooter has blue glazing. Documented interiors include dark brown, champagne and cream white. The rear lights were usually painted.
A cabin photographed through blue glazing can be difficult to judge. Ask for another angle in even light before deciding whether a pale interior is white or cream. Strong exposure can erase the difference on screen.
Mexican production needs its own identification
Six Shooter was also produced by CIPSA in Mexico. The reference distinguishes its stark-white interior from the cream-white Hong Kong version and records several separate finishes.
A bright color or pale cabin alone does not establish production origin. Compare the whole car, including base wording, finish, glazing and wheel construction. If that evidence is missing, leave the origin unresolved instead of adding a confident rarity claim.
Three axles mean more to inspect
Get both side profiles and an underside picture. Check for missing wheel faces, uneven wheel seating and bent axles. A car that rocks on a flat surface needs an honest condition note, not pressure from a hand to make it sit level.
Look between and around the two engines for broken detail or repairs. Support the body when handling it; the projecting parts are poor places to grip.
If packaging is included, inspect the actual car through the blister and keep packaging damage separate from vehicle condition. A loose car supplied with an old card is not the same thing as a sealed example.
For another two-engine design, see the T-4-2 guide.
