espo Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 This is another kit where AMT put a lot of extras in. I hope Round 2 does the same. At least you know they'll have some great looking Tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russosborne Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Is this a real gasser type with straight front axle? Can't tell from the picture of the box above. Thanks, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Russ I don't think so...never seen a straight axle w/ previous issues of the '65 Galaxie. I googled it and found a pic of the original parts and box art, looks like the same 'ol, same 'ol...pretty much what's been in this kit for decades (without the NASCAR parts). I do like the AMT '65 Galaxie, first one I built was the Barris issue from around 1980. Edited May 12, 2020 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 So, now I'm unsure if it's the Jolly Green Gasser or the Jolly Green Gass'r. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 That's how the original kit is...no "e" on the box, but the decals were correct. Round 2 does seem to tweak box art just a bit, to differentiate theirs from originals. Maybe the new box will put the "e" in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't noticed the difference until today, but it just struck me as odd AMT would have done it both ways back then. I think the box art in the first post is the final art, as it appears the side dump exhaust tube diameter has been decreased on the new version. Very close to the original, though.

stavanzer Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I wonder if it will be molded in Green? I'll need one anyway, just for the decals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ellis Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 This kit premiered with the AMT 1969 annual regurgitation series; had awesome boxes. There is a 1966 Galaxie called Sweet Bippy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Russ The kit has three holes in the front king pin for making it a gasser ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I was just rereading an old Elapsed Times magazine with a nice article about Ford's 1965 C/FX Galaxies (289 Cobra engine with Webers). Might be fun to build one of those, either one of the real cars or a "phantom." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Does the kit come with a can of Green Giant string beans? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Ho-Ho-Ho! Despite being in the state where Green Giant canned vegetables started, I've got one '65 I built a few years back I'm happy with. So, I'm be passing on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Actually want to build it as the box art. And no, not all Gassers had straight axles up front! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim boyd Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 That's a much different green color than the original c.1969 issue of the Jolly Green....I guess that is a plus for kit collectors who have the original....thanks for the images, Casey....TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I need this ( awesome ) kit as much as I need more holes in my shoes ! ARRGGG !!! Between that teaser photo ( thanks for sharing , Casey ) and watching HPIguy's build on YouTube , I'm sold ! Well , the opening boot is also a deciding factor -- seldom seen .
