ChrisBcritter Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Scored this nice AMT Craftsman '63 Impala cheeep from Wheat's Nostalgia, of all people: Missing the engine filler but that shouldn't be hard to find. Surprisingly I was the only bidder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br67 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Been searching for this box art for some time to complete one of my kits and today I lucked out. Thanks for your generosity Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) These just arrived. The Lincoln I got fairly cheap on eBay and was surprised by that. It's a screw bottom Going into the purple pond to be stripped. And the other two were cheap also. Edited October 21, 2019 by ewetwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're usually very hard to find and expensive. It seems like, for the years '61 thru '64, four or five Lincoln convertible kits come up for every hardtop. The ones with the B-pillar post intact, like yours, seem even harder to find. I'm a geezer, so I remember when AMT Lincoln and Imperial kits were plentiful and cheap. Nobody wanted them. It sure isn't that way any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure isn't that way any more. I’m an old geezer also and was surprised it went so cheap. The only parts missing is the carb, air cleaner and the hood ornament. The wheels are also a bit odd. Seem like a reaction to the glue or tires. But a rebuilder for sure. $25 Shipped. I think that was. A good price.

stitchdup Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) I'm doing a lot of extra hours over the next few months so I've been treating myself. I may be solely responsible for the rise in price of the mk4 golf kits as this is my second with bids on more. Appologies for the poor pics, its still dark and I'm tired Edited October 22, 2019 by stitchdup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Finally broke down and bought a dehydrator for model use on Sunday, ordered it that night and it showed up today?! Can't complain there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 The Craftsman '63 Impala landed today - missing the steering wheel, which wasn't mentioned but visible in the photo, so that's on me. Interesting to note the body doesn't have that issue with the sunken trunk lid trim; maybe that happened when AMT's bean counters filled in the taillights?

gtx6970 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Not here yet, but is enroute. Threw a bid on this one thinking for sure I would get outbid. BUT,,, ,,a few hours later I get the email says I won. No idea how that happened. Even has me a little scared its gonna show up a compete turd. iI it does ,, so be it but for the price I cant complain. Complete with the uncut hood, stock front seats . Everything except stock wheel covers ( which I happen to have on hand should I feel the need to go stock) I already have one nice builder of this ,,,, so not 100% sure what the plans for this one will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 It's a great thing to have one pictured in the annual. Congrats on the entry! I was fortunate enough to have one of mine published several years ago. It was a small photo, but it was still in there! And, my last name was spelled right, too!
