smellyfatdude Posted March 20, 2013 Here's my final build of last year, a Jo-han ' 67 Ambassador hardtop. Long on my wish list, I finally was able to get one that was opened, but nearly mint. The only deviation from box stock was using the wheels and tires from an AMT Matador, and some engine parts from the SC/Rambler kit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lunajammer Posted March 20, 2013 Oh, that's a beauty. I think that's about as complete of a look at one of these as I've seen. Can't go wrong with those Matador wheels. I'd like to have a set cast. Hey, welcome to the dark side Darcy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, welcome to the dark side Darcy. Is that the same wheel in the recent AMT '75 & '76 Gremlin reissues? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lunajammer Posted March 20, 2013 Haven't seen the Gremlin yet. But now that you mention it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smellyfatdude Posted March 20, 2013 I believe the wheels are the same. The ones in the ' 76 reissue look identical to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty Posted March 20, 2013 I'll never get to own one of these Ambassadors due to high costs and scarcity, but seeing this one built so nicely almost makes up for that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob Hall Posted March 20, 2013 I love those Johan AMC kits. I have the common items ('69 AMX, Rebel Machine, S/C Rambler) but the more obscure items ('67-69 Ambassador, '69 Rebel, '68-70 Javelin) are all on my grail list... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sixties Sam Posted March 20, 2013 Great build of a rare model! It's nice to see something different. Good work! Sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlie8575 Posted March 20, 2013 I love AMCs and that one looks great! I have one of those, too, and want to get to it sooner rather than later. Charlie Larkin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W-Machine Posted March 20, 2013 Now that's something that you won't see every day, either in scale or 1:1. Your Ambassador looks sweet 'n' clean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TooOld Posted March 20, 2013 Beautiful ! AMC's get no respect and Matadors are on the bottom of the list , but I think they look great ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moparfarmer Posted March 20, 2013 Very nicely done on a rare model. SFD, didn't know you were Canadian from Saskatoon. Nice to see more Canucks on the board... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fury3 Posted March 20, 2013 It's good to see an uncommon "flat box" Jo-Han kit built as nicely as you have done. These cars were unappreciated in model kit and 1.1 scale form. Again, it good to see you and your builds on this forum. Do you have any photos of the excellent detailing that you gave the interior to share with us?
