    I built a 57 chevy in the '70s in this color. Very classic.

    The AMT was endorsed by Ford and made as a promo model. For this reason , the AMT lacked chassis detail. MPC had a clean slate and built ther's as a model kit. It's six of one, half dozen of the other, I guess

    Very nice, Steve.

    I got hold of Ron Andrews on Facebook message. I got my order very quickly. You ask him if he has the mold to make a resin kit for you.

    This was the AMT Styline kit. Like a promo

    This was Jock Ewing's car on Dallas

    This kit is a decendant of the original 1968-1970 MPC Charger. I was always impressed by the exhaust tips of this kit (also the Coronets) and how nice they loof on the finished model

    When is this 1966 fastback GT supposed to hit the shelves?

    The body can be shortened , or use the Grand Prix body as a base. The 2+2 interior is very nice and unique compared to the Bonneville.

    I have this kit too. Or, is it a 1/24?

    Looks like a nice project. I wish Robert Burns did a 1972 Electra 225 4 door hardtop.

    The rear quarter can be made better by adding material. It looks like ERTL started with a 1968 Dodge and then switched to a Plymouth

    I totally agree. Old Johan kits are dead as a doorknob. USA Oldies were a feable attempt at competing with AMT's Street Rods kits in the mid 1970's. Last word: How do you make a million dollars selling model kits? Start with two million.

    My 1/8 1979 Firebird kit was a non turbo shaker hood.

    Forget my comment. I see the Rock Auto diagram. Seems like a waste of mufflers since one Catalytic converter causes all the backpressure?

    I agree. But did they do the Z28 exhaust treatment on the Caprice after 1974?
  18. Bob Ellis
    The 1976 Caprice kit has a leftover 427 engine from the 1968 Impala. I always questioned the dual exhaust with single cat converter. Maybe somebody has information about the real 454 exhaust in 1976.

    Is it a Mustang or a Torino, I ask myself. Very nice model.

    Gary. you did a great job.

    The 1963 NOVA SS convertible was a one year (Nova/SS/ convertible) offerring . No SS in 1962. I had read that Chevy was going to drop the Nova hardtop in 1964 but ultimately decided to keep it. Too bad Chevy didn't keep the convertible in 1964 and 1965.

    I am beginning to think that this Revell 1971 Mustang is dead. Revell hasn't leaked one piece of information for a very long time and then Round2 announced their own.
  23. Bob Ellis
    Along the same lines, I had the original 1967 annual MPC kit. The Revell is better and even the original AMT is better but not as good as the Revell. Box art is about what you get withe reissue.
  24. Bob Ellis
    No, I think you could call it an unassembled promo model. In the AMT Countdown series, AMT opened the hood and chassis with an engine.

    The grill is a definite difference between a 65 and 66 Mustang
