Randytheroadrunner Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Even though I was building models in 1965, I have no recollection of ever seeing a 1965 Satellite or Belvedere kit. According to what I have read, Jo-Han, AMT, and MPC all passed on the subject for that year. The only 1965 Mopar B Body was the AMT 1965 Coronet. But looking at this resin car I bought on Ebay last night, I wonder what the parent of this car is. It's not an RR Vacum Craft, nor is it a Model Car World body. You can plainly see the old chassis mounting bosses on the radiator support like a Jo-Han, so what did I buy? The seller gives no name, or offers any insight into who cast this, but it looks pretty good for 25 bucks.
Rob Hall Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Perry's Resin has offered a '65 Belvedere before, I believe.
Randytheroadrunner Posted December 25, 2013 Author Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Perry's Resin has offered a '65 Belvedere before, I believe. He only had a Belvedere I and it was a sedan, not a hardtop. Thanks for the help though. This body appears to be a Belvedere/Satellite hybrid. The Satellite trim on the rear quarter isn't there, and it doesn't have the chrome strip down the side like a Belvedere II hardtop would have. I'm not sure if the RO cars could be had as a hardtop back in 65. Edited December 25, 2013 by Randytheroadrunner
