My first Johan! (ISO Pictures)

[ProStreetOnTheStrip]

Well I have got my first Johan!

its a 1962 fury that's not built and untouched for $20

im debating on building it or not so give me an idea, if you got pictures of a built kit please show me thanks

[Roadrunner]

Wow, cool model. Were it me, I'd build it in a heartbeat.

[plastic trucker]

If the box isn't sealed, build it.

[Deathgoblin]

Nice!    I'd build it.  It's sad to buy models as investments.

[ProStreetOnTheStrip]

I'm going to save this model from the grips of the evil styrene trees.

im thinking a slight lowering, in a light mist blue metallic, with a white interior

oh and some white walls, anybody know what engine is in this, looks like a poly but not sure

Sorry for my messy couch haha

It'll build up easily enough; there is the issue with the incorrect ('64 Plymouth promo) interior. Here's a few shots of a damaged promo on eBay to give you an idea of what it should look like:

Maybe you could get the promo, take the interior and part out the rest on eBay again?

Those early acetate promo models (pre-1964 Jo-Han) shrink a lot.  I had the idea of swapping a promo interior into a kit body years ago...it didn't come close to fitting.

That's a beautiful car. Build it!

[ProStreetOnTheStrip]

That interior looks good, but I'm going to just use the kit interior just so it keeps all the original parts together. 

Tommorow might yield another good haul from the swap meet.

ive got my eyes on a all-original Iverson Roadrunner bike from 1967. But time will tell.

thanks for all the input guys!

Do a googe search for its a mad mad mad mad world.There was a red 1962 Plymouth used in it

[StevenGuthmiller]

Absolutely, build it!

These USA Oldies kits are not all that rare.......yet.

Just looked up the movie, I want the 62 fury wagon!!!

hopefully I find more good deals in the morning

[MarvinGardens]

The engine is supposed to represent the 361 or 413 'B'-block engine. The valve covers in the kit are correct for the early 4-bolt covers/heads.

That's a beautiful car. Build it!

That's a ugly car. Build it!

[Foxer]

If the box isn't sealed, build it.

If the box IS sealed, build it.

[unclescott58]

If the box IS sealed, build it.

I agree.

[disabled modeler]

Id build it if it were mine...factory stock...very cool car kit I love Johan kits and promos.

[High octane]

Build it, as the convertible kits are not as rare as the hardtop kits. In '62 Chrysler did have "Poly head" motors also. I just love dem Mopars!

[gtx6970]

The 62 Fury convertible kit is probably the easiest of the Johan kits to find,,,build it.

I've got one I had begun many years ago in plans to build Jane Hathaway car from the Beverly Hillbilly's

[ProStreetOnTheStrip]

Well guys, I sold the kit, but to buy that Iverson roadrunner, the thing is all original!

im definitely keeping it for a while

That one's a Sport Fury. Odd thing with the Jo-Han reissue '62 Plymouths: Some have not-quite-accurate Sport Fury wheelcovers and some have standard Fury/Belvedere wheelcovers; don't know when that was changed but the body has the regular Fury trim and two tail/backup lights per side (Sport Fury had three per side).
