1964 Dodge Polara HT (JoHan)

Recommended Posts

Back in 1984, I bought a JoHan 1964 Dodge Super Stock* (picture is from the internet), but didn't want to make it a quartermile racer. So I built some sort of stock version, swapping the wheels with some found in my parts box (probably from amt) - spray-painted with leftover rattle cans - chrome trim is silver paint:

Here's the class of '64:

Nice collection. I really like the unusual color scheme you put on the Dodge, especially the darker shade of green; really beautiful. I have to say, though, for me your 64 Mercury takes "Best In Show". Is that the AMT Marauder kit?

Thanks, Rusty - yes it is the '64 Marauder from amt (mid 80's reissue) - my fist excessive use of bare-metal foil!

Thanks, Bob - I wanted to keep mostly stock with a decent street machine look (wheels/tires)

I like the wheels, it changes the look from grocery getter to a decent looking muscle car with that body style. Cool colour too.

Thank you Gareth, the wheels came from the parts box, and the colors were leftover rattle cans. I've been inspired for the side-stripe by the picture on the kit box - and then I used that paint for the roof also...

Nice two tone paint job. Good to see this stock, not super stock.

Thanks,  Teijo!
