Jim Skelly Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 the '65 Wildcat, Fury and Coronet are worth restoring; the '58 Impala looks to be the original AMT issue from the mid-1960s; good finds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 55er Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 That red & white striped Dodge at the top right is a model of the 1965 Ramchargers Candymatic drag race car that was popular at the time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 55er Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Yep, I had a model of my own and might have even had a slot car of that same Dodge, all long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wldavis Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Back in the day, I built that model of the '65 Dodge Coronet (I think that is the correct model designation) - the Ramchargers drag car, but I cut the front fenders and rear quarters and frame to alter the wheel base, just as the "funny cars" evolved to altered wheelbase cars. That was a really cool model. I was so proud after I did that modification. I should find another kit and do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyardjeff Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 I found hoods for the Dodge and Plymouth and the missing parts for the Lincoln,still need to find a rear bumper for the Buick and the 67 Galaxie I picked up after I first posted. The 58 Chevy got donated to a guy at work to fix one he has. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
