1966 Dodge Coronet/1966 Belvedere

[RandyEarle]

They should make a 1966 Coronet 500 in 1/25 that would work with the Revell 1967 Coronet kit. Also, as we have the 1967 GTX, why not a decent 1966 Belvedere 2 door hardtop? I'd buy multiples of both. I know there are resin coupes, but no hardtops? I'd even settle for a 1967 Coronet 500 too.

I agree why not?

Agreed, Ive always wondered why some ingenious resin caster hasn't done conversions for both of these . I  would LOVE to have a clean 1966 Satellite - resin or plastic. I mean come on, Richard Pettys car alone should be the driving force. I

Its beyond my skills to patience level to make my own.

 

I am aware MCW offers a 66 Plymouth , but its a sedan not a 2 door hardtop. And I don't know of any others

MCW also offers a 66 Dodge 2dr post sedan. I intend to use those to create 1966 and 1967 Police Cars. Could you not use the parts (mainly front and rear ends) with the Revell kits to kitbash the cars you want?

Chris, take a good look at the '66 Coronet. The tailights and grille are funky.

OK, Randy, I thought you meant the 67 grille was on a 66. I'm Mopar ignorant enough I missed that there was a 67 in the pics above. Sorry.

Still, Canada had some weird variations, as did MX and Brazil. The 440 below was a Coronet 440 with an optional Charger grille on a pretty base car, pic is from Bringatrailer.com. 

Looks Canadian, but they didn't gave the round emblem. Chargers had a round emblem, is this a trim level thing on a 66-67 Canadian Dodge??

Googlage helped with rest of grille, but badge odd. 

HA. Found something-Mexico market 66-67 Coronet with Charger grille on sedan

Found a cool Brazilian Dart from 78 too

Neither of those would have been sold here. I recall Plymouth dashes in some low-line Dodges or vice-versa, and some trim lines renamed, but that was about the limit.

I sure would like to have a 66 Satellite/ Belvedere grill, tail lights, and trunk panel. I had two 66 Satellites and would like to convert the 67 GTX kit into a replica of one of the cars that I had.

I would be thrilled if someone did the '66 Satellite. It seems like a way that Revell could get some further sales from the GTX tooling without too much investment.

Me too

Old post I know but, does anyone know of a resin or 3D printed 66 Coronet 2dr hardtop? A guy down the street from me has one and I want to build a model of it.
