Hotrod 97 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I had an idea for an extremely customized land yacht type car. The only problem with that is I can’t think of any model kits that would fit the land yacht category. So, with that being said, are there any plastic kits or resin bodies of late-‘60s to mid-‘70s, large, full size cars? Thanks In Advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Plymouth Furies (eg Johan 68 four door) Pontiac Bonnevilles all the way through the 60s (65 is easy to find) Plenty of Cadillacs Chrysler Imperials (59 I think is only easy one to find) ...

stitchdup Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 If your going to be customising everything, hasegawa have 4 full size curbsides, a caddy, buick, chevy and thunderbird. the bodies are nice but the interiors are very generic with the entire dash being a decal. The chassis is pretty much a flat sheet too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Land Yachts you say. Round 2 has reissued an old MPC kit of the '70 Pontiac Bonneville that has several build options. The kit represents a Convertible with the option of being built as a pickup. The chassis is the old metal axel thru the engine style that can easily be changed. A Hard Top could be barrowed from kit if need be. This was a large car, and the kit is a long full size car so this may be a thought and the complete kit can be had for less than a Resin Body alone.

markbt73 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 If you're trying to get up into the early "malaise era," MPC did Chevy Impala annual kits up to at least 1975. I don't know if they were ever re-issued, but I know they're out there. Pretty sure I've seen a '74-75 Plymouth Fury coupe as well. And maybe a Cordoba?

espo Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Chevrolet Impalas were a popular car for this type of build. The AMT '76 model has been reissued a few times and I would think you could find one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
