AMT 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix

[Chillyb1]

A friend of mine sent me this kit and I'm wondering when it was originally issued. Anyone know? I don't know anything about how to date such things and there are no identifying indicators on the box or the body.

I'd also like to see some instructions for it because it didn't come with any. And I'm not like some of you guys who can slap a kit together without any guidance.

I appreciate any information you kind folks can provide.

Curtis, I haven't seen that georgeous box since 1965 ! You got a keeper there son . Don't get rid of that one . have some fun with it . That kit came with the cycle wheel to make it look as though the Motor Trend boys were testin it . and some kwel phylons and lots of options to of course customize the car with. Ibuilt mine stock and thenpainted it as close to Evening Orchid as I could . That was a lavender with a Black interior . yes , you could have bought such a ride like that in 65. Ed Shaver

Thank you both so much. You've answered all my questions. Mark, I'm glad those instructions are readily available because I'll sure need them.

Ed, if you want that box I'll be happy to send it to you. And that color, Evening Orchid, is one I'm considering for this build. There is also a cool gold color that I associate with mid-1960s Pontiacs that I might use. Still haven't decided. Everything is now soaking to remove paint and chrome, then I'm going to get started on it.

Thanks again.
