ToyLvr Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Picked this little gem up today at the Circle City Show/Swap Meet in Indy. Original AMT '62 Impala (screw bottom chassis). This kit had been started, but not painted, and not a glue-bomb. Should be an easy restoration. This kit was on my list of "Holy Grails". I was really happy to finally find one. Had a great time at this event. Congrats to the Circle City folks for another great one. (Hey Tom Geiger, you missed out on several early Valiants!)

ToyLvr Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Jon: My local model car club keeps a calendar of events, with emphasis on those which are within reasonable driving distance. We exchange newsletters and other info with various clubs around our region, so we generally have a handle on what's going on. You'll often find such info posted in the "Contests & Shows" section here on the MCM forum, as well as publicized in the magazine itself. Health issues have kept me from attending such events over the last few months, but I made a special effort to get to Indy - always one of my favorites. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 (Hey Tom Geiger, you missed out on several early Valiants!) I went to a swap meet in NJ today and was amazed at how many first gen Valiants (60-62) there were for sale, and at reasonable prices. I already have much more than my fair share of these, unless it's a very interesting and unusual old custom build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
