i got this at a fleemarket late last summer  it had been painted gold and the person had use aluminum foil and glue for the chrome work but it the paint and the foil had started to chip away so i used my silver paint and some gold paint and touched it up  made the rear side windows since they were not glued in the model like the front and back windshield i repainted the interior    as the person had not glued the body to the chassis or the interior tub into the  body

Very nice! What you have seems to be what's called a "promo," and what you've done to it is what we call a Glue Bomb Rescue. Thanks for bringing it back from the dead, and keep your eyes open for more great Flea Market Finds!

Great find it and looks to be in almost perfect shape. I also think it was done by AMT. I think they were still doing Promos for most of the major manufactures. These were often offered in a simplified version that was a basic promo kit. I purchased a fully detailed Falcon kit in I think '67. The kit was the old 3 in 1 format and I built it as a Drag Racing version. That kit included the option of large cut out rear wheel openings and Slicks.  The kit included a small block, 260 or 289, Ford engine with several different induction set ups. Later in life I always thought it would be nice to have a basic stock Falcon or a day two version.
