Snake45 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Got this at the local toy show last month. Original annual AMT '67 Comet Cyclone, which has a body much better shaped IMHO than the newer kit. Needs the hole in the hood fixed, and the stock grille insert, and one taillight, but I think I'll be able to bring it back from the dead. Worse comes to worst, I'll just trash a "new" one for those parts--or, depending how you look at it, just swap this body onto a "new" kit.

I am with you on that one....id rather try to save an old one even if it means using a re-issued one for parts to. We need to save these pieces of history if we can.

I have one in my stash waiting to be painted and detailed. I have a 66 that I combined with a new tool 66 Fairlane that I have to finish, as well as a Mobieus 65. Good luck on that one.

Moebius California Flash 65 Belvedere, AMT Bobby Allison Monte Carlo, and a restorable Johan 68 Plymouth Sport Fury. Love the Fury! This is one that I don't have. But I do have a almost pristine, unbuilt '67 that I hope to get started on in the not too distant future. Nice find! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I didn't have any Johan '68 Furys (Furies?) except for 4 of the later issue 4dr sedans. I have hardtops for '65, '66, and '67 along with a '65 and '67 convertible in my stash, along w/ a resin '68 Sport Fury fastback. I want to get the resin '68 wagon...

My Fury collection is nearly complete except for the '68. So far, I've built the '59, '60 & '61. I have very nice examples of the '62-'67, mostly hard tops except the '62 & '66.

Rob Hall Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Of the earlier ones, I have a resin '59 ht, a rough '60 ht (roof broken off), a couple '60 wagons, a resin '60 4dr Savoy, and the '80s issues of the '62-64s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
