DoctorLarry Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 This was a modernized version of a "phantom" 73 GTO Judge. My own resin body and interior, oversize resin wheels from EBAY, 72 Cutlass chassis, 66 GTO engine and lots of scratch building. Testor's Flaming Orange paint. A fun build. Trying to think up some decals for it but calling the construction phase done. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Island Modeler Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 It should have been made in the real world.  Your work is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Great looking paint and color. I like how you used the Pontiac's iconic Hood Tach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT68 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Excellent creation. My second car was a base (non louvered quarter window) '73 LeMans coupe in Slate Green. So seeing this is really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 VERY nice! That color works beautifully for this car. Has a great muscle car vibe, and that engine bay detail is sweeet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassicDarts Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Awesome! The '73 is my favorite GTO out of all of the years they made them. I guess it's not objectively the best-looking, but I like all of the '73-77 Pontiac colonnade cars... and the '73 (Luxury) LeMans and GTO specifically, the most. Â I didn't come up with this, because it's not obvious at all, and I forget where I read it, but I agree with it: the overall '73 LeMans design (in coupe form, anyway) intentional or not... vaguely looks like like a 70's interpretation of an early-40's coupe. (other than the huge mandated bumpers) Maybe that's a bit out-there... but it stuck with me. I could see what they meant by it.

Bigfoot Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 My 1st car was a 1974 GTO. It was basically a Ventura with the GTO visual package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
