Nice job. I've built quite a few '67-'69 AMT Cougars, including a couple '69s without spoilers. There were 111 purple "Rocky Mountain Cougars" given away by the Rocky Mountain Insurance Co. in western Canada in 1969. 15 of them are known to still exist.

Nice, I painted mine British Racing Green with a saddle interior to replicate a real right-hand-drive Japan import car that was at our Cars & Coffee a couple years ago.

Nice job on the promo. I've built a couple Monogram '94 kits, and am working on an AMT '94 now. It's hard to pick a favorite of the two - they're both good.

Looks great, and yes, my real white '94 has the chassis in that light grey primer you used. This inspires me to get busy and build the AMT kit with a window sticker to replicate how mine looked when it came in after the order.

Nice, this Revell kit was a Hobby Lobby $7.49 clearance item a couple years ago. I built the race version, using Firey Orange to simulate the bronze on the box art.

When I was completing this, I opened a sealed Revell '66 GTO to see that its chassis and engine bay could easily be joined to this old AMT body. The kit version I got was the last before the body mold was turned into the modified stocker.

I looked through your entire link. Really like the '66 Buick Skylark which I also recently completed.

Fabulous. I have this old kit in my stash. In reality, Packards in that era were pretty much all custom-ordered, so just about anything goes color and trim wise.

In Greenville, SC yesterday, they had over a dozen Hurst Olds, even more of KW cabovers and pumpers, nothing else. I just came home with one of the Olds. I bought the plated tank trailer there a year ago. Yeah, we can expect to see these listed on E-bay and Model Car Marketplace.

Built from the AMT "Mexicali Mudlark" kit that was a curbside. I carefully cut the hood open, used the engine and wheels from the newly-re-released Wildcat, radiator support, firewall, and windshield came from another newly-released '65 El Camino. The body was painted Tamiya light metallic blue.

There seems to have been a craze lately over the old Jo-han Mavericks and Comets, so this is a stock build I came up with. I used a Pro-stock Comet kit that was still sealed from the '70s, AMT '67 Mustang/GT350 chassis slightly shortened, wheels, mirrors, hood scoop and engine from AMT's '69 Cougar Eliminator, seats from an AMT Torino. Grabber Lime paint was supplied by MCW, and decals by Keith Marks. I'll be keeping the 429 engine from the Comet kit for something else.

Mike, I like your N-scale train videos. I have an 11x4 -foot layout 99% completed.

Thanks, I was wondering about that top, not included in the '60 kit of course.

Nice, it looks better than Monogram's version.

Tom, I like the styling much better than the angry-faced bizarre-o '59s.

Yes, I believe they were Fred Cady decals. No telling how old, so I sprayed them with Decal Bonder and they were fine.

Beautiful! Did you find this on E-bay like the '60 Buick I recently bought?

This fun little project took about a week. Right after I ordered paint from MCW, I found a can locally of Model Master Honduras Maroon lacquer, which has been discontinued. That's the same color as Buick Tatian Red, seen on the beauty I photographed at Charlotte's Auto Fair a couple years ago. The custom tail lights from AMT's '50 Ford were perfect, and I suspect the uptop may have been from the '62 Buick.

Yeah, Dave, wishful thinking! I got the AMT 1973 Cougar street machine kit in today's mail mainly for the convertible top boot, and a surprise inside was a fuel cell piece. Sanded it down a tad and will use it on that AMT '69 Cougar chassis I used.

He said it was Testor's Guards Red right from the spray can, no primer or clear. He did a good job foiling too. Early 90s build. Seat insert decals were from the latest hardtop re-release.

The 2004 re-release should be able to be found for less than $30. The '63s are much rarer and hard to find.

Wow, awesome work!

The builder used the Kelsey Hayes wire wheels from the '65 Riv. I'll use those for something else - I thought these chrome reverse wheels were very period-correct, remembering the J.C. Whitney catalogs.

My attempt at one of the Cougars built at Bud Moore's shop in Spartanburg about 50 minutes up the road. It's not perfect, but looks ok on the shelf. I used a lower-quality resin body, which was brittle around the windows, which is why the roof edges were sanded off. AMT '69 Cougar chassis and glass (windshield didn't fit well), roll cage modified from the one in the '64 Mercury, 289 engine used from an AMT '67 GT-350. All you see in die cast is Gurney's #98, so i I thought I'd do something different.
