    66-67 Ranchero front clip, yes. IIRC the Fairlane and Comet 2-door post cars in 66-67 shared wheelbase with the Falcon coupes as well.

    A Moebius 64 Nova, Sand Kat and a Chrysler Copperhead promo that LHS had for $5.00 (They had three of them)

    The tool was later modified into the "Sweat Hogs" version.

    I have sufficient for my needs. Also have resin station wagon and convertible bodies.

    I would get one if the put the deep Shelby 10-spoke wheels back in. A few years ago I bought an AMT Cobra chrome tree from the sprue box at the LHS and would like to get some more for a project or two.

    It appears to be trickling out:

    It's a Fujimi kit.

    70 Camaro RS. 73 Ford LTD 2-door.

    That's the "be the first one on the block to get one" fee. Usually happens with any new model that is in high demand. I remember when the Datsun 240Z first came out. Most dealers would add a "market adjustment", along with "mandatory equipment" like aftermarket wheels, vinyl stripes, bumper guard bars, luggage racks etc. I remember seeing some with dealer-added vinyl roofs. For a while it was almost impossible to get one equipped as it came from the factory.

    AMT/MPC 69 Cutlass chassis might work too.

    Went to HLL. Deja vu all over again. Walked out with what I walked in with. Just as well, seeing as I paid a deposit for something else that will cost considerably more than a few kits. And make a lot more noise when used. Current issue Revell 77 Trans Am kit i purchased on eBay arrived today.

    A lot of Revell kits have those circular seals. Probably "greener" than the shrink wrap.

    Fujimi Ferrari GTO kit arrived yesterday from HLJ.

    Thanks. I have sufficient Cougar kits now. Probably way too many.

    For a long time I would pick up the 69 Cougar XR 7 Street Machine kit at the LHS and look at it, then put it back. Then I got a full-sized 69 Cougar XR 7. Guess what was gone the next time i visited the LHS?

    If you believe what people post on most online forums, headlights on most cars available today are totally inadequate. But it's cool to tint the lenses. My son put aftermarket LED headlights on his Chevy Colorado. They're horrible. On the other hand the Hella quartz halogen headlights in my 69 Cougar are incredible.

    Is there some sort of filler on the trunk lid?
  18. sfhess
    Maybe Revell 72 Cutlass?

    Bet it got good MPG numbers in the EPA lab. Years ago I had a 78 Zephyr with a 4-cylinder/4-speed. A whopping 88 horsepower. Poor engine had to work really hard to keep up with traffic and drive in real-world conditions. I think I managed 20 MPG a couple of times on road trips. Bet the EPA MPG figures were better than reality. (I upgraded suspension and tires so it was fun to drive at least)

    Looking at the side trim and the trim around the taillights, this looks more like an 82 Cougar wagon.

    Years ago a friend purchased a 67 Chevy pickup that had a 73-ish Ford bed on it.

    This thread took a turn....

    I should dig my 65 out and take a look.
  24. sfhess
    Maybe the 70 Bonneville chassis?
  25. sfhess
    It looks like the sail panel vents might be a separate piece. That would pave the way for a later 66 GT350 version.
