First thing I don't like is there no red Lenses for the tail lights ?

Difficult for me to ascertain here -- are back-up lamps on those tail lamp assemblies ? 1965 model year had both until  01.01.1965.

Some interesting stuff shown, looking forward to it. I may be wrong but it looks like they made a better roof than the Plymouth.

 I wouldn't be surprised if Moebius released this as a Landy AWB Coronet.

I love the grill.  Finally a great grill for a 65 Coronet.

Bring it on!! Cant wait.

Neat job doing the single-headlight grille - you can just see the slight misalignment the real ones had where pieces from another grille were used as fillers.

Typical for Moebius. I'd recast them in clear or red resin like I did for my '65 Belvedere.

Do hope their normal wheelbase kit, isn't far behind.

That's a good idea !

Luc....last time I was contacted in relation to the '65 Coronet project, the two kits were being developed simultaneously.  Do not know if that has changed in the interim, but if forced to guess, I would land on the side of the development in parallel continuing at present....TIM

I’m also looking forward to ordering a few of both the standard and AWB kits so I sure hope they are both still in the pipeline. I have decals for a Dick Landy “Landy’s Dodge”, a Gary Dyer “Mr. Norm Grand-Spaulding” (the blue one) and a Bob Harrop “Flying Carpet” all waiting for these kits. If I finish these three versions and still have the itch for the AWB one, there’s always the Ram Chargers car, Dave Strickler car and Bud Faubel’s “Hemi Honker” along with a bunch others I’m probably forgetting….so thankful to Moebius for doing these ‘65 Mopar kits!!!!

Not complaining,  but just curious what's taken this kit so long to be released, this was 1st mentioned in early 2022

[Altered Ego]

I agree with papajohn97 wholeheartedly.  My list is Landy's Dodge, Ramchargers, etc.  My most ambitious version will be the maroon Mr. Norm car.  I have been cutting up some Moebius chassis experimenting with the best way to build that one.

I think the current global economic situation does not necessarily allow for the possibility of developing as quickly and effectively as we would like.
Especially after the Corona period, the current russia war and its effects and current the rising interest rates on the capital markets, do not make things any easier.

And finally, anticipation with all the excitement of something new (Moebius '65 AWB Dodge) is the greatest joy... and comforts us over the waiting time ...?

I love these '65 AWB Mopars. In particular the injected versions and the development from those years.

Many years ago I had given up hope for a '65 Plymouth AWB and '65 Dodge AWB as an injection molding kit and in the meantime I have oriented myself towards 1/18 diecast models of Supercar Collectibles.
I disassembled and detailed all of these '65 AWB diecast Mopars. As a pastime until the news of Moebius' 65 Plymouth AWB came.

I now wish that ALL the decals for the 11 factory cars and for some private teams could be produced in good quality by the aftermarket companies. Slixx has partly started with it.
In particular, I'm interested in authentic decals of the silver/red Mr. Norm Coronet. Alan from whoopiekatdecals had decals for sale for the silver/red version, but he's sadly gone out of business (I think).

The Fred Cady decals are not necessarily my first choice when looking for authentic decals and they are just for the silver/blue version only.
