Well this is mine, since it's white I could be the Granddaddy

The 64 and 65 are basically a Valiant with a "Sport Roof" . The 66 was still built on the Valiant platform but had a specific stylized logo. 67 went with a longer wheelbase and different body style used only for the Barracuda. Not sure how much of the underneath was changed in 67. I call the 64-66 the Red Headed step-child of the Barracuda family

Is that 1st gen or 2nd gen ? I was under they impression that 64-66 was first generation.

Early versions of the Little Coffin (some before it was called the LC) For some reason I can't figure out how to post a link but there is a bunch of info on the Kustomrama.com site.

Early Trans brake ?

Unless I am mistaken this was at a swap meet/contest in Oregon a few months ago. Looks even better in person, drew a lot of attention and won "Best Paint" Super Cool car

I have a AMT 32 roadster kit in a bag that I picked up at the last swap meet. It has the molded in rear axle and I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. But you inspired me to do a old style basic build and just have fun with it. Great work thanks for the inspiration

Outstanding

If I was Samir I would have thrown the guy out of the car after 30 seconds

I'm thinking black with yellow interior and wheels....or maybe it was yellow with black interior and wheels

Not necessary to have a online storage site. I just download them from my computer directly to the post. like this one , easy peasy A picture is worth a thousand explanations

I thought Promo's were originally made as salesmen's samples and for Dad to bring home for the kids to play with when I bought a new car. Folk's like us turned them into Collectables. When I was young they were toys, most likely the reason on why so many are damaged.

My first car was a 31 Model A Roadster body and a z'd frame (no pics) my current car they called it a Sports Roof the first Pony Car

More confusion here you have a automobile referred to as a "Convertible, Hardtop and a Sedan"

Greg Back in the day 4drhdtps were very common and no Car guy would ever have a 4dr anything, in fact a 4dr Charger would be laughed off the street and would be relegated to secretaries and nurses to drive I admit to the shame of chopping up a nice 57 for $50 in scrap metal and fear many other nice cars fell to this fate. I tried to do some research on the names of car styles over the years and just found it more confusing than when I started . I referenced to the term "Sport Sedan" because that is what Chevrolet did in57. Some define a Sedan as having a pillar and a Hardtop as having no pillar. This makes Sports Sedan a confusing term. I have always called them four door hard tops. I sometimes reminisce the "old days" when a you could buy a slightly used 67 Camaro SS350 for $1,900 and a new muscle car for about $3,000. Next time I post a similar question I will try and consider the younger builders to avoid confusion. Originally Hard Tops was the term used for cars build with a Hard Top as a apposed Soft Cloth Top. Using those terms a Hard Top could have a post between the side windows. I see were the Mini Cooper refer to their four door as a "Four Door Hard Top" when in fact there is a pillar. These terms change over the years as do others Thanks for the replies, they told me a lot.

Can't seem to find any kits for 50's/60's Sport Sedans aka Four Door Hardtops. Having owned at least two 1:1 cars with four doors and no post I just noticed a lack of kits for these. My first being a 57 Chev (that I bought for a penny from a friend that said he would never give anything away, hence the 1 penny price). As I remember it had a straight body, nice red paint and a white top. It had all the chrome and gold trim and fair interior. There was no title, engine or trans. We chopped it up with a axe and hacksaw and sold it for scrap. If only Second car was 58 Pontiac Chieftain I had for a short while, I think I traded it in on a new 67 Merc Comet. Just thought it would be fun to build something a bit different.

Congrats on a great build , black paint came out perfect

Very Kool. I love these Old Sckool Customs

(Comment removed for he sake of humanity )

Well apparently nobody wants to buy it at this time

kinda like this

Since this is a rebuild , was it molded on or glued on ? It looks like it has a belt pulley on the front and if anything needs to be moved forward so it can be driven from the harmonic balancer that also appears to drive the alternator. I can't find any reference to it or any pictures of it on the 1:1 car

I build for the bonding experience

That's just Patina, it will sell OK

Congrats and nice build
