VW93 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Shouldn't be to hard for Revell to do from their 60 Impala tooling.Then do the last year available from Chevy, a stock body 60 sedan delivery.Tool up a six cylinder for it to make it more desirable to builders.Lots of variations are possible. Stock, mild custom, drag, municipality, commercial and............ Edited August 28, 2015 by VW93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) I was thinkin' AMT '59. But your Revell would be so much better. and a sedan delivery, and a station wagon, and a six cylinder, and a 283, and a 348, WOW !

VW93 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I didn't mention a wagon as you would think Revell would do one as an obvious follow up to an El Camino and sedan delivery kitDog dish caps, a base 283, a six , a powerglide and a 3 speed and maybe a 4 speed. Not sure if the six and sb bell housings were the same in 1960 as they were for later sixes and sb's. The 348 could be used from the Impala in one version of the El Camino or just kit bashed from a 60 Impala.Two dashes, one with radio heater controls and one with correct radio/heater delete plates. Perhaps two columns, one with shift lever for 3 on the tree or just one easily modified for a floor shift. Of course two sets of pedals for either an automatic or stick setup.Mix up the power train options, dog dishes, wheel covers and custom items between the three kits if need be to increase sales.

Craig Irwin Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 It's an easy kit-bash with a Revell 60 Chevy an an AMT 59 ElCamino, but a kit would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranma Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 wouldn't the molds for the 6o el camino kit/wagon kit be the property of AMT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I'd love to see a model of a '60 El Camino. I too young and/or broke to buy one when they were last released one back in the 1960s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranma Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Since Both the wagon and the el camino were both kits at the same time, would they not be two diffrent molds and not one? I got a copy of the 60 El Camino and a resin copy of the 60 wagon. I would love to see both reissued as "old" new stock ( Vintage box look) but molded in white.

Longbox55 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Not sure if the six and sb bell housings were the same in 1960 as they were for later sixes and sb's.No, they are not the same. The 6 didn't get the V8 bellhousing pattern until the "Hi Torque" 6 came out, 62 in Chevy II/Nova, 63 for all others (some early '63 4x4 trucks continued to use the older engine, though).Doing a '60 El Camino and Wagon/Sedan Delivery would require a retool of the chassis as well as the body. They used a different gas tank than the Sedan/Coupe/Convertible, and there are other differences as well. The driveline and suspension parts could be used as is, though.

I got a copy of the 60 El Camino and a resin copy of the 60 wagon. I would love to see both reissued as "old" new stock ( Vintage box look) but molded in white.You have to remember, there's a very strong likelihood that those molds no longer exist.With the AMT '59 El Camino being re-released umpteen times since it's inception, don't you think the '60 El Camino would have been repopped at some point since 1960?My guess is that those molds are long gone.

Joe Handley Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Outside of the Hudsons, I doubt too many kids would have interest in that lineup unless Dad or Grampa has one, Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
