I just noticed that myself.... It probably has rally wheels....

• New SS™ hood with chrome simulated louver inserts
• Newly tooled “SS” grille emblem

Wasn't planning on buying one but it will be difficult to say no to that box art.

I'll definitely get this kit just for the hood, as I want to do a model of my 67 Camaro and it had that hood on it.

It had the 68-69 "ice cube tray" inserts?  Stock 67's had a different insert like the 69 Nova SS hood.  I am not familiar with any Canadian differences in trim, so I ask.

If Revell offers the hood so the inserts are separate, you could get the inserts from the Nova to be correct.

His car was obviously "day two" so he or someone might have added that hood later.

Car  originally had the flat hood, a buddy wanted to put a hood scoop on his 69 SS so we traded hoods.  Car was definatey more than a day 2 car as it had a 6 point cage, subframe connectors, 4500 stall torque converter and the engine was built.

Well I only have around 20 or so 69 camaro what's one more. Worth it just for the wheels.

[deuces wild]

Looks like a 2n1 kit that still has the cowl "super scoop" hood and the rally wheels.... I  prefer the 5-spoke ones in the Yenko kit....

[mikemodeler]

15 69's in the stash, about 8 more built and at least 3 in the WIPs pile, what's a couple more? Lol

 

I will get a couple of these.

No "Canadian differences". All first gen F-bodies sold in Canada were built in The States so they came off the same assembly lines as those sold in the U.S.

Looking forward to the 69, but I'd really like the IROC Z next to it! ?

[10543Modeler]

Looks good, what's the eta on it?

[stavanzer]

So, the COPO kit with a new hood, basically?

I do like the Colour!

New hood and the SS grille emblem instead of the bowtie in the grille, and other SS badges (decals?) I'd assume...

Think the copo version had a decal for the bowtie.

I kinda wonder if the following could be a solution for separate scripts and trim, so that multiple versions are possible of just one body.

ZL-1 with a new hood, the fake COPO thing was a Nova.

It'd be nice if Revell were to issue more kits under the Nickey name -- this kit being one of them (some 'Day Two' parts such as a new intake/carburetor/air cleaner and not-Centerline-nor-contemporary custom wheels/tyres and !!!BAM!!!). 

IIRC, Revell had licence to use Baldwin-Motion advertising (though the 1970 Chevelle --old Monogram tooling but with updated interior and a Tarantula intake, plus the requisite signature Phase III striping scheme-- was the last one that I can remember). It'd be nice to be able to build an OOB replica of Joe Oldham's 1969 SS-427 triple-black 'advertisement car'!

Likewise, a Dick Harrell tie-in could be created... heck, even a Dana tie-in (I don't believe that anyone has that copyrighted -- Dana has been out of business for decades).

You might be better with this kit

I'll be using the Nickey version as it has the proper grill and interior door panels . Note: the 69 hood fits the 67 but needs  to be lengthened a bit.

 

[Rob Hall]

Would be nice if Revell would make a '68 SS 396...would go well w/ their '67 and '69 kits.

What colour Green is this car? I really dig the box art Green , and the two Real Car are cool too.
