Having once owned the 1:1 of these (390, 4spd) I'll FOREVER love this car! One of my favorites I've ever owned, and one you can still buy at a "reasonable" price compared to the same vintage high perf Camaro or Mustang.

Beautiful model of this rare beast and a very nice color for it!

FABULOUS job! You did an especially nice job on the AMX emblems on the roof, which are quite difficult to get right. Well done and model on! B)

Like the colour, what paint did you use. Like your use of aluminum tube exhaust tips. I always think they look so much better then just trying to paint or hollow out plastic ones. Good job over all.

Beautiful looking build. The shade of grey with the extra metallic in the paint gives it a very elegant look especially with the very cleanly detailed trim and the white wall tries.

You are so right! These are great cars and the 390 "dogleg head" engines are so under-rated. they came with Borg-Warner T-10 four speeds and limited slip rear ends. Right in line with the best of the "musclecar" era. I've always been kinda partial to the metallic turquoise color they came in, as well as the matching engine block metallic turquoise color. Shirley Shahan ( "The Drag-On Lady" ) used to kick serious behind driving an AMC.
