SteveG Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Here's a quick look at the 65 Plymouth Belvedere Production contents that I just got. Look for the kit to be available in about 4 weeks from now. These photos were taken with my iPad, some are not by best work but it was handy for today. The body is highly polished, even smoother then the Satellite. Here's the chrome tree with multiple wheel options. Note the Hemi valve cover for a later version. Here's the new seats and the Super stock style exhaust pipes .... And here's the steel wheels that go with the dog dish hub caps .... Here's the big and little street radials .... The decal sheet .... These are just the highlight of the kit, the full photos are on my Fotki page, just follow the link below. http://public.fotki.com/SteveG26/moebius-projects/page2.html -Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMCMAN52 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks for the update, looks like it's going to be a great kit....Steve is Carney's still around in Brunswick. I used to live in Strongsville for a few years and always had a good time there on the weekend car gathering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live in Strongsville for a few years and always had a good time there on the weekend car gatheringYes, it's not called Carney's anymore but it still there at the same place. I go there from time to time. I think it's a great kit and Moebius has more coming based on this tooling. I'm betting they'll get more versions out of this one then the Ford Pickup.-Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horsepower Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Hmmm, possibly a serious race car is in the future, I see a set of Hemi valve covers in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Looking forward to this...may get a couple. I have an R&R resin '65 Belvedere sedan and wagon in my stash also. Will be interesting to see if I can kitbash these w/ the Lindberg kits--one for the 6 cyl and one for the Hemi and hood scoop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echo Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 This looks like a nice kit with many possibilities. I wonder what variations are coming ? A/FX S/S ?? We can only hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickcaps55 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Nice very nice awesome let's get them out I want 3 or 4 right up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks for posting this one. I was looking at Bill (Grumpy) Jenkins' 1965 Plymouth "Black Arrow" race car. Once you source an A990 Spec Hemi with a Torqueflite,, you are well on your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Ya know, I have no interest in this kit. I like the Satellite better. And I'm not a big fan of it. But, the box art got me to buy it (that and Moebuis' reputation). The box shown above might get to buy the Belvedere I also. Maybe. Though I doubt it.

charlie8575 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 My only real gripe is the lack of a bench seat. Not sure what I should be thinking about modern radials, either.Perhaps the next issue should be a Slant Six or 273 car with a TorqueFlite, dog dishes and bias-plys, and a bench seat.Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggie427 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Another homerun for Moebius ! I'm going broke on these new kits. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'll be getting one, as I've said. They're a bit off in the license plate font - funny thing is that number is the same one as the sample from licenseplates.tv: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova-ss Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yes!!!....absolutely. ..can't wait.I'm still working on my satellite. .but love the build.great work to Moebius and mister Dave...thank you.......Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Curious that the Box Art is for a Family Sedan, while the kit is FAR from thatThey should Change that to better reflect the LACK of Stock Family Sedanbuild Option!!!!!I Hope for a Stock version to follow, as Tires, etc are Garbage to me!!!!!And Yes, I would Like to convert to 4dr, and LAPD!!A few 65 Belvedere Black & Whites are seen in early seasons of Adam-12And I believe are Correct for LAPD!!

Deputy (1962-1984) . His first post was at the East L.A. Station ; that's when LASD and LAPD had jurisdiction over local freeways / expressways . The pursuit vehicle was a 426 Wedge powered Belvedere 2 door ( "Scary quick and fast ... just don't ask the car stop stop again after a 100 mph stop !" ) that was used on the Long Beach Freeway (which was incomplete at the time , terminating south of US 101 Santa Ana Freeway) .Not sure how many 4 door models that the Sheriff's Dept employed in the 60's . Apparently most of them were 225 sixes with 3-speed manual on the column , with some 273 / Torqueflite models . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 There was an "Economy" trim level , too . I've seen exactly 2 in all my salvage yard travels ; one was a 2 door , the other a wagon . These were absolute bare-bones models ; rubber mats , park bench seats , no amenities ! The V.I.N.'s 2nd character is an "E" , as in "Economy" ( e.g. , "PE45D51" ) . I don't recall whether or not the 2 door that I saw had a back seat ; perhaps that was an option ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I suspect this version is as "stock" of a Belvedere I as we'll see from Moebius. The small valve covers, the round air cleaner, and dog dishes tell me this car maybe built close to something one could find somewhat regularly on Plymouth's show floors at the time. I'm not keen on the exhaust setup for a regular showroom stock automobile. Or the bucket seats. But, both were available from the factory for the car.Again, for something I would have been interested for "regular" use, the Satellite more fits the bill for something I would have looked for in a real Plymouth Belvedere at my Plymouth dealer back in 1965. Other than the racing crowd, I don't think too many people were interested in a 2-door Belvedere Is with a 426 wedge and buckets. And doubt many modelers today plan on building this kit as a stock, showroom, non racing Belvedere either.But, the box art does depict a showroom stock Belvedere I. A family version, rather than a racing model. Why Moebius has chosen to depict the car this way on the front of their box, without the bench seat and regular exhaust in the box, I do not understand. This maybe one of their few mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Irwin Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Odd that it's neither fish or fowl, not a cheapo sedan or an A 990 car. Me? I'm adding a Hemi and looking for those "Black Arrow" decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
