GarryR Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I have long planned to use the larger 63-67 Palmer Corvette larger "scale" convertible body as the basis for a salt lake streamliner, and the smaller 99 cent kit body as a salt lake go kart streamliner. I also think the smaller convertible body might make credible pedal car and have several kits and built-ups stashed with those thoughts in mind.

Bob Ellis Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Well, I am very surprised to see how many people are for me opening it and letting this plague out upon the world!I have to say I'm really thinking this could become the basis for Chia-Vette after all. Man, I didn't know these were this bad. I mean, the box art is cool, as Mike said, but I didn't think it would be worse than, say, a bad old Revell or something. Man, now I'm almost ITCHING to open it. Of course, the itching could mean there's a leak in the containment plastic, as it seems to be suggested! Of course, if I open it, I'll have to slaughter it in a review. I guess that's okay, eh? It does bite but I doubt you will be infected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faust Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 It does bite but I doubt you will be infected I think it's too late anyway. I'm either immune or already infected, so I think I'm safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Open It! Can't wait to see what's inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faust Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 From what I've seen on a couple of other posts, it's something akin to a bar of soap with a vaguely Corvette outline. You KNOW I'm going to have fun with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I think we should start a Go Fund Me page so you can buy an authentic AMT or MPC Corvette kit from that era. I've got a Palmer '72 El Camino that I think will fit into the bed of one of my other El Caminos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody can build a nice kit. It takes a REAL modeler to take a SORY TURD like this and make something interesting out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hamilton Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I have a Palmer 70 Corvette in the collection which I bought as a conversation piece. It is unbuilt, and not too horrible. I also have several MPC and AMT corvettes from that era that may be built, or end up as parts or trade fodder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
