I just bought a spotless Johan 1970 GTX builder in the past 6 months for $85 delivered and darn glad I got it. It was the last one of the Johan Mopar 5 I needed. The Monogram car sticks out like a sore thumb when the rest of your shelf is all 1.25th scale Ive picked up original issue Superbird, 69 Roadrunner and 70 Road Runner in recent years and none were over maybe $40-50 range. My 69 GTX on the other hand ,,,hurt the toy fund pretty good

Does anyone make a resin copy of the rear axle in the AMT 1971 Charger by chance. Gets expensive to buy these kits mainly for the rear axle

Johan 1963 Plymouth Fury. A Little More Progress.
gtx6970 replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Between the various incarnations of the Lindberg Dodge / Plymouth kits. I probably have 20 , maybe 25 Bought up a bunch of them when Ollies had them for $8 ea I thought the ladies eye were gonna pop out her head when I walked to the register with at least a half dozen of them one day 64 Plymouth chassis is the one thats unfinished The Plymouth chassis is about an 1/8" shorter in wheelbase and maybe 3/16" shorter overall .. it would appear the difference is in the center of the pan itself. I'm afraid I don't have many. extras of the Plymouth to part with -

Lawman and Color Me Gone both are max wedge powered. If you want a few. I have a boatload of extra color me gone kits I can send you. We will work out details another time -
I knew about the metal axles in the mopar kits from the period ( I have them all ) . So only figures the others would be the same. DID NOT know about the rocker trim though Thanks

the Copper looks amazing on those cars. To be honest I dont think I've ever seen a Dodge in Copper. But have seen a few Plymouths that color and it looks AMAZING -

I'll find them. just give me a few days. We are hip deep into a house remodel . And model cars are LOW priority at the moment . Planning to put it up for sale the next few weeks and move to sunny Arizona Bill -
My weekend purchase. Looks clean enough for some basic touchups and in the case it will go. To sit along side a few others I doubt I will ever take apart to redo

Being somewhat interested in this same info for a 1964 Plymouth sedan . Has anyone held either the MCW and/or the Bandit body in hand.? to comment how nice it is ,,or isnt ? Compared to others. I have both a MCW and Speed City bodies of a 1965 Plymouth AFX, and Speed City is heads above the MCW body as to quality. So I am interested to know the best one avail out there I have the JF 1964 Plymouth body and it leaves A LOT to be desired

I think the closest ones your going to find is in the Little red Wagon Out of what ones you posted above. " I think " the only ones correct for a 63 is the top one -
Missing link makes it and it is a VERY nice piece. Drops in the lindberg body perfectly

wanna sell the 62 Dodge dart and 62 Fury. I'll give you your money back on them 2 alone.

Dude, you stole that one. And Good luck on that 1960 Olds, even better try finding a good deal on a 1959 Olds or 1961 Plymouth Fury ( PS, I am looking for a 1961 Fury in case anyone has one to part with .) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1959-OLDSMOBILE-NINTY-EIGHT-Built-MODEL-1-25-JOHAN/153019605290?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

Most of the later issues stuff can be found reasonable. you just have to look I recently picked up a 68 Fury Police car and a 1960 Plymouth wagon. Didn't give over $50 for either one Its the Older original issue stuff that can command serious cash. Maybe 2 years ago picked a spotless 1959 Fury , and I think it was right at $100 or so . Then picked up another one on a trade last year with a car I had less than $40 in . Most of my older Johan builders were well under $100 , several were less than $50 I think the most expensive one I have is a builder Johan 1969 GTX . I was tired of looking with no luck so I paid up to get one. I think it was about $125 ( NICE builtup in the original box ) only a few weeks later found another one for under $50 , so go figure . Just proves they are still out there at decent prices if your willing to look and keep patient

Also, I'll add my 2 cents. if you feel so inclined. do the seats and door panels as well. Ive tried to do them with putty and failed miserably. So if done I'm a buyer
