Rotorbolt73 Nice job fixing a necessary kit

ESSO lasted until the Spring of 1973. ESSO ENCO and HUMBLE were dumped at the same time. Currently, EXXON Mobil is concidering bringing ESSO back

Most police cars were Custom or Custom 500 models not a Galaxie. The front grill must be trimmed to reflect a lower than Galaxie model. Custom 500s had wheel opening bright trim and bright roof drip mouldings, however. This kit represents many company cars during the 1970s.

This model is why I miss ERTL. They did great new stuff.

With a 70% reduction of Chinese industry until February10, some kits may not arrive until much later than expected. Human suffering is something not to be ignored, so the kits are less important than people.

Doesn't the Avanti kit come with R2 twin supercharger option? 2 units on the engine.

This is one case where the Hasegawa 66 Buick dashboard is more realistic than the AMT version

My real 77 TBird was just the opposite ; white body red roof. Can't wait to build one Incredible work Paul

My worst kit is a 1971 Palmer 1/25 Mustang kit. The nose is a 1971 and the rear quarter is a 1969/70. The dog dish wheel covers are the kit's only good things. Total horse manure.

Dont forget the Buick version of this kit. I wish they did the Pontiac and Olds too.

I bought one brand new in 1973 and the fenders didn't fit that great back then.

The new Revell kit come with 2 grilles. Extra is perfect for redoing the mpc headlights

BIll , this is a very nice model.

The same one that eliminated the clear back-up light for this kit. A bean counter.

The AMT Corvair turbo-engine debuted in 1965 and ended in the annual 1967 kit. The parts pack has a corvair turbo-engine with no transmission and generator. Swap those parts. All 1968 and later Corvair kits had no turbocharger and 4 carb max engines

The only big block you could get in a Heavy Chevy was 402 aka old 396 bored out. Only SS had 454

I don't think the Buick Electra was the most exciting kit for a kid , but it was surely motivated AMT to make a kit based on the promo model which paid for the tooling By the way, I need an air conditioner such as shown in the instructions. Yippie, , now I know which kit has it!!

Thanks, Dave. I know some things, but not everything. I remember the '70s very well. Some of it ,I liked. Unlike the '60s, you had to wait for Trophy kits to return slowly as Street Rod kits. And the prices were really climbing by 1975.When the 1951 Chevy came out in 1976, I was amazed. I bought that 1932 ford sedan about that time and never built it.

That 32 Ford 2 door sedan was a Street Rods kit about 1975-6

Judging by the rust, it didn't make it to 1990.

AS far as I know, no wait list on the GTO, follow Missing-LInk on Ebay to see when one is available

Missing-Ling is still doing great stuff. I got the 1974 GTO and 1976 Trans AM this year.

Some people bad mouth the Mustang II. I had a 1976 Cobra II that I bought when I Belvoir, VA in 1979. I was driving my1972 Torino on Edsal road when it died. It had been costing me $100 / week to keep running. I had contacted Jerrys Ford, and a retired Army Colonel got me a ride there. The 3 year old 1976 Cobra II cost me $3200. It was air conditioned and I was happy about that in the DC area during the Summer. It was no Pinto. The doors were heavy. The V6 was no terror but it moved okay with the 4 speed. It finally pulled a full U-Haul trailer down I 85 to Atlanta, GA in 1981.I sold the Mustang II in 1982

That is true. MPC lied a little bit on their marketing

real car is a 1968 check out imdb https://www.imcdb.org/v180188.html
