Sport Suburban

I wonder if those parts interchange?

Both of those are funny stories. The first one you found. My friend dared me to send the pic in with some info. He swore that it was unique and that they probably haven't seen anything like it and would feature it. I didn't think it would as it was not what they focused on. Being a wagon and a custom but to my surprise he was right. I sent it in and three months later it was on the back page as a reader's ride. The question on the engine build was the same way. I sent the email and a few hours later he responded. My original question was posted and so was most of his answer. What was not posted was he loved what I was wanting to do, and the question and project was so different from what they normally got that he said he was thinking about publishing it and asked if I had a decent picture of the car. So, I sent that in, and it got published also! Thank you TIM! now back to our regular program! LOL. I really need to build one of these Chargers! It's really the only one I have not built, I think.

Thanks Tim. Yes, I still have the wagon. At the moment it is broke. I could have repaired the 440 but decided to build a stroker big block but life has made it sit some. Short story is it is really a 1971 Sport Suburban. The only give away to anyone who knows these cars is that it has the one piece front door windows (no vent windows). A 1970 would have them. I changed the grill, front vallance and hood for 1970 items. I also had to modify the fenders as the original turn signals and 383 emblems were on them. But on a 70, those are on the hood. Plus change the mirrors and driver door trim for a 70 model as well. So now it appears as a 1970. But I did all that 25-30 years ago. Back in 2008 I did buy another 70 Sport Suburban for parts. I have that one still as well and it is also a 383 2v car. Still has the motor and trans but I just wanted the extra grill and trim. It was $600 but final bill was $1300 after getting it home. It was in Colorado and was a great weekend adventure getting it to AZ!

It has the same wheels and redline tires as the pink box. Just decal changes.

This is just stunning. And that rear wing!!! love it!

This one is a mild one. 1973 Trans Am SD455. This one is all resin and custom Gold and Green decals from Keith Marks. One of my favorite cars.

Here is a 71 Mustang Mach 1 widebody. This is the wildest one I have done yet.

How about an Eleanor Convertible.

These are some nice builds. I have done a few more since this thread was started. Here is my 57 Del Rio wagon.

That is just amazing.

Nice. I'll be getting that 99 Xtreme. I have one that I bought new in 99!! The first kit was nice but was the concept car built on a 97 S10 If I remember right. I hope the correct other things like the mirrors, interior and even the rear bumper. I did buy a few of the 94 S10 SS kits. Still have not built one though!

You know I'm down for a 70/71 Fury in plastic! But I may be a bit biased...

It has been some time. That was back in 2008 when I did those. I still haven't finished my 1971 GTO convertible project, but I did finish the coupe. The molds are long gone. I haven't seen or heard anyone making the parts. Rear bumper was actually from the MPC 70 GTO kit from 1988. That one always fit better.

I'm interested in this kit even though I have the resin body for the other kits. Here is what I got for you to see.

I was going to suggest the same 3D printed wheels.

Wow. That looks great!

It's interesting to note that the 65 Golden Commando's AFX, 65 Hemi Super Stock Melrose Missile, and 65 Plymouth Satellite (stock version) are all automatic trans. The 65 A990 Hemi Super Stock Belvedere is the only manual trans of the kits I have. The only one I don't have is the stock 65 Belvedere II. So, I am curious about that one but didn't buy it. But all three 65 Dodges Coronets are manuals. I just got them as well.

I wasn't making a point, just showing the two side by side. It is being discussed in the thread. I also noticed the euro box and decals have no mention of Z51 option. So I'm wondering what is in the Z51 option as I don't know.

Here is my scan of the US sheet.

Nice! I'm interested in that one.

I placed an order directly on his site on 4/18 for the 59 Cadillac Hearse and 32 Ford B400 on 4/18. No communication or anything and I was starting to wonder about lead time. Nothing on the order confirmation. The kits just showed up last week and the box says shipped on 5/25. Now I have ordered from him before, but it has been more than 10 years since then.

Looks like they are both sport coupes and the 65 Chevy II Gasser was a 2dr Sedan. I'm looking forward to the stock SS myself!

Yes, that is Greg. But I see he hasn't updated his city, He now lives in Sun City!

That's funny. I have called it a trunk rack myself but on these Corvettes. What would you call it since it doesn't have a trunk either? Deck rack?

Really Nice job!
