The Bull Horn was/ is a 1/16 bucket T with an early SBC, steelies and drums all round.
Pretty sure it was also issued under the Pyro banner at some time as it shares a lot of parts with the 1/16 Pyro show T's.

aha! cousin to the serpent ! I've never had any of those. I think the "Pyro" name scared me away. I made a mess of a couple of that brands VW kits. They were impossible.

Gee whiz... like I don't have enough large-scale projects collecting dust already. But it looks like a must-buy.

The Bull-Horn was a PYRO kit
first issued in 1965 as kit# C-183 / Tee-N-T Sho-Go Street rod
It was the more or less the grandfather of all the other Pyro ShowRod-kits
like
The Serpent / Sno-Skeeter / LaramieStage Ghost / Gee-T / Cobra
all these have the same basic parts
Pyro disappeared and Lindberg bought several molds from them.
unfortunately not all the body molds of the rare kits
these seem to be owned by others
we had that in another thread a few years ago when someone wanted to buy the chrome frame to replicate it and reissue the kit ... wasnt it the Stage Ghost ?
seems now he can do it .... who knows ...
about 1980 the kit was the first time reissued by Lindberg as "Bull Horn"
new box, new decals ... but the rest more or less unchanged
So if you want to restore one of the above mentioned kits ... or need just parts this will be a great opportunity ... more or less all the basic parts of frame, suspension, engine are in it ... only the specific body parts are different in each kit

If I wasn't somewhat commited with all these 1/8th kits I have here, I would grab one of these pretty quickly. The box image sure looks a lot more refreshing and real than the Lindberg Big Red Rod which with it's one lowly interior choice for all the variations is really getting tired.
If I was going to move to a larger scale from 1/25th I'd go 1/16th. There's a much broader subject supply with Mustangs, shoebox Chevy's and funny cars for engine options.
This Bull Horn looks like a Monogram Big Rod (rare!) .. just needs some yellow paint and custom wheels.
