Best one of those I have ever seen.

Been there, done that. The major mistake I made was cutting open the doors and trunk. I love the car though.

That looks fantastic! At first , I discounted the kit as toylike. But after seeing stellar builds, such as yours, I bought another to build at a later date.

Here's my plan. Several years ago, I bought a 66 442 Convertible kit very cheap. It had no body but everything else. I had bought a built up 64 Cutlass convertible. The previous owner did it as a race car, popping off the windshield frame. I have enough parts to build it with kit parts, but the detailed car was quite interesting, plus I have MCG photoetch for the 442 emblems. Rereleasing the kit in annual form will allow me to pull off the project. I'm still going to buy one when it's available. When I was a kid, I remember a friend of my dad had bought a new 64 Cutlass Convertible. It was white with a White top and metallic blue interior.

Remember. In 1964, part of the 442 package was a 4 speed manual transmission. The 64 Olds Cutlass tool has a automatic transmission console. I have a hardtop and a convertible that needs a windshield header. I had planned to combine a 64 body with the superior 66 chassis and drivetrain for a future project.

My dad had a 67 98 2 door hardtop in that color combination. He installed a Muntz 4 track tape deck in it, and installed a set of Buick Chrome wheels on it. He traded it in for a fully loaded 68 98 4 door hardtop that he special ordered. That was his last Oldsmobile.

Gorgeous!!!

Very nice work!!! I have one of those under construction myself.

I used those steering wheels in a couple of builds. They worked well with some of the MCG photoetch steering wheel spokes in some of their sets.

I love those cars. Your build is exquisite. I have a can of panther pink, and several 70 Mopar cars to choose from. One of my father's friends had a pink 70 Duster with a White top and interior. I'm considering doing that very car.

Absolutely beautiful!

Nice work. I saw what was supposed to be the actual car in a museum about 15 years ago. I would love to build a model of that car.

I'm in no hurry.I haven't built a C7 yet. Nor have I got a Ford GT or a Supra.

Gorgeous.

Beautiful!!!!

I got a nice set of dog dish caps for this one from Shapeways. I still have the steelies from the original kit. I have to paint them and source some red lines.

I found a set of some great Spyder mags from the original AMT 70 Impala annual kit, and had a set cast in resin for another project. I may use a set of them on my build, mounted on a set of AMT parts pack white lettered tires.

Very nice!!!

This kit is going to be a welcome addition. I would like to see a 4 Door post sedan based on this kit. It wouldn't take a whole lot of work to modify the roof, as the profiles are similar. The Model Car Garage's 67 SS427 Photoetch Set includes a set of correct Impala Scripts and emblems for the rear fenders, various engine designation emblems (Crossed Flags), as well as the open grille. Model Car World and other vendors have 67 specific GM paint available, as the color palate was quite extensive for interiors and exteriors. Depending on how soon the kit is actually offered, there will be several excellent examples on the contest and NNL tables.

The wheelcover in the bottom photograph was included in the 67 SS427 annual kit. However The Modelhaus included a set of the wheelcovers in the top photograph in their 67 Impala Station Wagon Transkit. I kept a set of them for a future Impala Sport Coupe project. With this kit coming out, they will get put on my build. There are other wheel choices for the Replica Stock builders for this kit. The AMT 67 SS427 kit included a set of correct Rally Wheels. Maybe Round 2 will include a set in the kit. The Revell 65 SS Z16 included a set of Sport Wheelcovers, and the AMT 66 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible and the Lindberg Chevrolet SS409 Convertible included a set of wire wheel covers, but the spinner prongs should be removed and replaced with the appropriate center, as spinner caps were not offered after 1966 from GM on passenger cars. A lot of builders would like a set of steelies and Dog Dish caps. The 67 Full Sized Chevrolet had a specific design that was used for only that year. I have not seen them in plastic, resin, or 3D created. I hope this answers your questions.

Exquisite build. I have a 69 that I built and a 70 to restore.

Gorgeous!

Roger, your build is exquisite. The AMT Fast and Furious version of the 67 Mustang does have the hood with the indentations. Its the only version I know of with that hood. The Model Car Garage also has an excellent photoetch set for the kit. The Replicas and Miniatures Co. Of MD 67 Mustang upgrade set is pretty comprehensive. I have a GT Fastback under construction which got the hood, ribbed rear panel, and the rocker panel mouldings from this kit.

You may want to contact Replicas and Miniatures of MD. They did an AMC 6 for use in the Gremlin. The cost may be less than an entire kit if all you want is an engine.

A funny thing, I was rooting through the basement the other night, and realized that I have a lot of 67 Corvette models and parts from MPC, AMT, and Revell. I only have a Revell coupe and roadster built. That Streaker Vette is worth the price of admission for the slot mags and the header/mufflers. I'm so old, I remember building my 67 MPC annual on Xmas night. I had a ball.
