AMT '68/'69 Roadrunner/GTX Supposed to be a Coronet?

[StevenGuthmiller]

We all know that AMT muffed the rear quarter shape pretty badly on their '68 and '69 Roadrunners and GTX's.

Has anyone ever noticed how closely the shape of the rear quarter on these kits matches the MPC '68/'69 Coronet kits?

Could it be that there was an intention to do a Coronet instead of, or after the Roadrunners?

Or maybe they used the Coronet rear quarter as their "template"?

If that were the case, is there the possibility that the MPC '68 or '69 body still exists in a form that is possible to be resurrected?

Or is it all just fantasy and they just dropped the ball?

 

Anyway, I found it kind of interesting how closely the rear quarters of these two kits seem to match in overall shape.

AFAIK, the MPC body still exists as the '70. AMT just fumbled the ball on the '68 Road Runner/'69 GTX.

Yup.
