Rob Hall Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Interesting..a '60s 2dr Wagoneer, pretty obscure variation. Never seen one like that in person, only seen the 4drs.
mikemodeler Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I think that $90 is reasonable as it looks pretty accurate and has most of the parts needed. I am guessing the recent Revell Jeep pickup kit would be the best choice of kits for the axles and if one wanted a V-8?

About the V/8 in the AMT recent Revelle Jeep pickup for a '60's Jeeps were not AMC's yet . Willies was still Jeep until 1970 . Willies was to smart not to get into bed with GM and use sbc's . They remembered what happened to Studebaker making that fatal mistake . Instead Willies bought lock stock and barrel the Aluminum V/6 debacle . Buick mothballed and sold for scrap to Willies the entire project . Who promptly cured the ills and sold these quite well . Well into the AMC years . Eventually sold to the Leland LTD , later aka British Motors LTD until that collapsed . Range Rover retrieved all tooling and rights that passed through these hands . This brings us to the '80's when FoMoC was buying up failed British Car-makers . Range Rover was one of the acquisitions . Imagine the shock in Dearborn when the Engine was discovered for what it was . Post haste , a successful new Engine from FoMoCo . All the Tooling was mothballed again . Back in Detroit .. GM bought the V/6 back . The general did not bean counter destroy a suitable engine this time . lol .. look at the Generations of the 3800 . ..lol . Can you say bean counted ? MPC Jeepsters has this V/6 Engine in it . The Buick Opal GT has the same Mill with Hop Up Parts . Should a Resin Caster appear ? Thanx Edited January 17, 2019 by dimaxion
W-409 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Wow! I need to start saving immediately for that one. Always liked Wagoneers and now when there is a good quality resin kit available of one, I really need one of them.

What sort of payment do they use, CC or money order or PayPal?
