AMT 1969 Corvair

[modelcarcrazy]

Here is my newest build, it's an AMT 1969 Corvair. The Corvair has a special place in my heart, because my mother drove one during the mid to late '60s. Hers was a '65, Orchid with a black interior and a Corsa engine with a 4 speed. I remember as a boy of 5-6 years old, my mother driving it, shifting gears wearing high heels and her hair-do rubbing the head liner. Those are some great memories. Well anyway, here is my version of the AMT '69 Covair.

Well done, great color.  My first car was a maroon '65 Monza with a black interior, so they hold a special place for me as well.

Well done, great color.  My first car was a maroon '65 Monza with a black interior, so they hold a special place for me as well.

We had one just like yours too with a 180hp turbo on top.

Nice build. I love that body style. A friend had a mid-engine aluminum block Buick 400 in his and it would scare the bejesus out of us.
