What are the differences between that and the GTX? If it's mostly just trim, you might be able to get away with fabricating it and removing the GTX scripts.

Engines and seats are gravy!

Both front and rear clips differ considerably between the years. The 66 version uses a single headlight with smaller turn signals (with amber bulbs) whereas the 67 switched to dual headlights, a move that was not so succesful IMHO. Meanwhile the 67 rear clip looks much better with blended in taillights in a gentle curve along the trunk lid, much better than the previous year lights that appear tacked on. It would not be difficult to modify the kit if the 67 parts were available in resin or 3d modelling. The 66 interior featured western motif embellishments with two vertical divisions in each seat back which were changed to a single division the following year, again lessening the  style of the original interior. 

Dad bought a 1966 Satellite as our first all brand new car back in September of 65 fresh off the show room floor. Pretty exciting for thus fourteen year old!
