AMT 1963 Corvette 'Survivor' (!?)

[Oliver77]

This has been banging around in the junkbox all these years. My Mom had to reach it for 10 yr old me in Hills dept store in the Boardman Plaza in 1963. I had built a few Hawk style model planes but Man! that 63 Corvette was IT! Multiple layers of customization, (felt seats, saw that in a mag), paint, and use as a slot car.

Nice to see survivors. Is there a dedicated page for survivor models ?

I think the Testors silver paint is almost dry on the trim.

Very cool.   Are you planning anything special for it?  Would look good just cleaned up and put back together.

I loved Hill's! The smell of the popcorn and those frozen Coke slushies! I used to ride my bike there, to spend my paper route money on model kits and records.
