mark 23 Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) I built this from a MPC 1967 1/2 Firebird kit that a friend of mine gifted me with about 8 years ago. It is a faithful rendition of the car I drove from about mid 1976 til late 1979. It had a painted on fake vinyl roof. Mags came from a junk yard. Motor (326 2 barrel) was chained to the frame because of a broken motor mount. It had a removable AM/FM cassette deck mounted under the glove box with a 4 speaker sound system. It also had a Hi Gain CB radio (CB's were a big thing back then). I used a detail master photoetched detail set on this model & masking tape vinyl roof. Now I am building a replica of the 1969 firebird that replaced this one. Edited January 11, 2021 by mark 23
GeeBee Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Very nice model, I'd love some models of cars I've owned, apart from a few available for company cars, non of my cars are available in model form.
Geno Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Man that is so cool Mark. I love the 1st gen Firebirds. They looked so much better than Camaro's.?
doorsovdoon Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 That looks good, I like the colour. Has the 1-1 survived?

It was a bondo special when I bought it. I paid $500.00 for it, drove it for almost 3 years & sold it for $500.00 when I bought a 69 firebird.
Tiger89 Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Cool, great job! I've built models of several of the cars I've owned or still have.
