Fabrux Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 A while back I purchased a large lot of models/parts from a local builder. In the parts was this photograph and a dash painted as in the picture. I have no idea what its from other than its an AMT kit (ugly gray plastic). Anyone know what it is and what kit it would be? Maybe I can use the dash someday... Thanks!
mr moto Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I don't know the year but that's an Impala emblem on the steering wheel.
62rebel Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 you won't be able to use it. it's an AMT part.
george 53 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Don't let that stop you. It's plastic, you can MAKE it fit.
george 53 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I went and checked some kits and it LOOKS like it MIGHT be from a 70 Chevy Impala,by AMT. The 71 MPC Impala's dash looks similar but it looks a bit longer and flatter. I'd bet it was the 70 AMT dash.
Fabrux Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 I pulled out my AMT '70 Impala kit and, guess what, direct fit! Looks like I'll be able to use this after all. Thinking back, there may have been a 70 Impala body in the lot somewhere but I think it was too badly damaged to be useable. I'll probably end up painting the seats and door panels white and use the blue dash along with carpet and console.
Guest Dr. Odyssey Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Yep, it's the AMT 70 Impala dash. I agree it is a AMT 69 / 70 Impala dash. Now in must be true since it has been said three times. Let alone the photo showed the real car...
