I would put money on the table that the 67 Galaxie kit will be a reissued in the very near future. That's another highly requested kit. Probably on the list of subjects Round 2 is looking to release. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To further the point, AMT has issued 1960, 1961, 1963, 1964, 1965 Galaxies in the past several years. We need a '62 to fill that gap! 3 hours ago, Scott8950 said: The 62 galaxie would be nice.

keyser Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 62 Ford Sunliner with a Starlift top would be fine. 67-68’s had weird chassis, so promo maybe better? I’ve not seen either promo up close, don’t know if they had decent chassis or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chassis may have been different from the standard platform chassis but I thought we prefered a separate-parts chassis (separate exhaust, suspension, etc.)... To me, it looked fine when assembled. (The clear roll cage was different...) Edited December 4, 2022 by blizzy63 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'70 Grande Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I don't know, but I've always had good luck building up those chassis parts as I think they were found in a couple of other kits, too! The '67 Galaxie has been on my holy-grail list for more than two decades... would love to see it return! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 The 67/68 can be fiddly to get nice stance. Nice detail, just different. 65-68 had fairly different chassis, then 69 reverted to 64 style. 67-69 T-Birds seemed easier to get low stances.

A cool and rare car for sure, but a convertible kit with this top as an option would make more sense than trying to cut the roof off of the hardtop.

Rare, yes. A Starlift top on a '62 Galaxie Sunliner won't give you a stock '62 Galaxie hardtop. '62 Ford Galaxie hardtops were all Thunderbird-styled squarebacks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Starlift was an end run for NASCAR to get fastback onto Fords. Boxtops not fast enough, Starliner gone in 61. Clever “removable” hardtop would have helped until 63.5 fastbacks arrived 62 Boxtop may exist, made it thru until late 60’s iirc. 61 Boxtop did too, never expected that.

It’s all interesting trivia but for me, I wouldn’t be interested in a convertible car kit, even if it had a separate roof. I would definitely buy a hardtop.

In the meantime, here's a big hint! I have paired up several of these projects, the 65 and 68 GTOs were paired up to make the development easier. This next item was paired up with '92 Chevy C1500 short bed pickup. -Steve The '96 Chevy 3500 Dually is the upcoming new companion piece to '92 Chevy C1500.

That linked example is a Silverado Sport with aftermarket 350 SS decals. LOL at "Not a clone" statement: I guess it can't be a clone, since a factory 350 SS never existed. From what I recall seeing driving around back in the day, I think the Sport package was only available in black, white, or red. I remember seeing a few of these around new, and the very rare GMC Sierra GT, which was a 305/5-speed only offering. The Chevy looks really nice in Victory Red, although I don't recall if the bowties were red, black or white with it. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconovaman Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 The "New Tooling" for this kit includes improving the grill and mirrors on the (promo) snap kit and early 1990's AMT model kits. The Chevy Silverado 1500 with the BYP Sport Package similar to the 454SS but with a 350ci 5.7L V8 with Automatic transmission. I'm not 100% sure but maybe the 5speed manual came standard with the 305ci? I'd be happy to see the Chevrolet Sport decals from Round II in Silver, Red, and Black. My Teal Promo dually is from 1995, atleast that's what the license plate says. Cool kits, I've built all the versions of it, glad to see Round II taking an interest in the truck.

Keep windows down. 🤣 I have this removable hardtop fetish, this was epic NASCAR end run around rules. Raced once, won, banned. http://phscollectorcarworld.blogspot.com/2014/09/ghost-muscle-cars-1962-ford-starlift.html?m=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I wonder if a new '61 Starliner would be the way to go, rather than a '62. '61 could have a NASCAR version baked in from the start, and the '61s seem to have done better in drag racing also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
