Need to Identify this Chevelle

[70gmcer]

I received this old build up of a 1970 SS Chevelle the other day & need to know what kit this is. I know it is old, but is this a kit or promo. I think it is an old AMT kit. I stripped it of the old brushed on paint hoping to locate any markings. It is 1/25th scale.

At first glance, I thought it to be a promo, as it has the engine block off plate, but the hood is removable. There are no provisions to install a engine, nor any firewall provisions. The interior tub is held in place buy 2 pins on either end. The glass also has the 2 holes on each end to go onto those pins. The hood has 4 pins that fit into adjoining holes on the body. It is a screw bottom chassis.

Any ideas? Oh, it is plastic.....

I plan on bringing this back to life. Just need more info about it.

thanks.....

It looks like the AMT "Motor City Stocker Series" Chevelle.

It was a budget line of kits that were derived from the 1970 annuals.

All of them had motor plates in them.

The series consisted of;

70 Buick Wildcat

70 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

70 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

70 Ford LTD

70 Ford Thunderbird

70 Ford Torino Cobra

I don't know the kit number of the Chevelle, but the LTD is X851 100.

Retail price on them was a whopping $1.00.

Retail on most of AMT's full detail kits in 70 had jumped up to $2.25!

YEP 84 Van's got it right onna head! I actually thought that Revellogram had released THIS kit when they issued their own 70 Chevelle SS snap-kit only molded in Dark Green plastic. But there were too many differences between them. I have them both. But yeah, it's the Motor City Series Chevelle alright!.

I do believe that is right, now that I see the series name. I couldn't for the life of me, remember the Motor Series kits. Thanks for the replies. For a cheap kit, it sure has some nice detail. I'll most likely do this a stock SS.
