Pontiac Models


Here are two models I built, both are AMT if I recall correctly. Anyone else have any Pontiac models to show?

I have a few, but I have to put them together first.
Used to build a lot of models when I was younger.
I have several still in boxes. I keep meening to take the hobby up again, but alas, no time.
Maybe this winter.
Looks like you did a great job on them.
Have you been doing models for long???

Had the 66 since about 83 and the 65 since 88.
Both still require a lot of work.

Have I been doing models long?  Probably started at 10 years old, now I'm 50, so that is long in my book. Did the 65 probably about 15 years ago and the 62 in the last 5 years. I  think the 62 was one of the last I've done lately. I did build a car from spare parts and what not to show off to my son not that long ago. It is a 55 Nomad that I had done then I chopped it into an El Camino, has a 409 fuel injection plus whatever else I had in boxes.

Nice work and especially love the '62!.
Did you swiss cheese the frame?.

Nice to see someone into the '73-'77 A-body cars too!.
Did you see the '73 Naca Hood-parts on kijiji a week or so back?.
There is/was a '73 GTO available around Peterboro' last summer...do you know of it?.

No to the swiss cheese.

What Hood parts? I have a scooped hood on the car now but I could use the back plates.

Was that GTOgreen?

I only skipped through the ad but it sounded like this would be the parts available as what else is removeble from these '73 hoods anyway?.
Good luck searching Kijiji and sorry if it ends up being a wild goose deal..

On the '73 Goat, I'm never good at remembering colors but I saw the car in July last year sitting in a driveway in a subdivision between Bobcaygeon and Buckhorn...I was yard sale'ing w/ the women so obviously couldn't stop..
Last fall I saw what I believe was the same car appear on kijiji?.
If you're horny for one I could maybe find the place again if the car is still there...couldn't tell you which house if it wasn't though..

Yes, I did see that ad, thanks. As for the 73 GTO the only real difference between my car and a GTO is that I have an orange engine, I kind of like the uniqueness of my car though.

I've got at least one example of every year of GTO still in the box unbuilt, many wrapped in cellophane.  I bought them up in the early 80's when many were being discontinued and discounted.  They have re-issued some of them, but not all, so some of them are real collectibles.  I also have a promo of a 70 Bonneville 2 door hardtop in what else, Verdoro green.  Not quite the same as my Laurentian, but close enough....

May be worth a whirl if someone wants to give it a go on the way to the cottage?.

Check this Mapquest page and here's all I remember below...no warranty from here on..

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/bobcaygeon+on/

Going East on Cty. Rd. 36 out of Bobcaygeon towards Buckhorn, before Flynn's Corners hang a right on Tait 's Bay Rd. and go to the end...try driving along the lake edge sides of both Alpine Lake Rd. to the right also Drive Dr. to the left looking North in the driveways of the houses facing the lake...look all through this subdivision if no luck there first?.

Good luck!.

  Heres a coupe of my models.  I haven't finished the Pontiac wagon or the 60 chev "biscayne" sedan, modified from the Impala H/T lowrider kit. Its even gonna have a 6cyl in it!  The GTO and Lemans are 1/43rd, the convert I modified from another GTO.  I love old Chev Pickups and have many in different scales. The display unit is one a friend of mine built me years ago, its 6' x 4' .

Very cool....That 60 wagon.....must be a promo?

I was looking to build my friends 60 2dr HT, and all I could find were promos, mostly in real bad shape.

I used a promo to build my 1st car, a 63 Falcon ragtop

While not a Pontiac, I did build this one about 15 years ago. Kind of like and old Sandford and Son truck. The original box rotted out years ago so the owner simply bolted on another solid one. Why bother painting it?

I used to enjoy building models. I still have most of the ones I built as a teenager and have about 8 or 9 yet to build. There never seems to be any time...

The 60 wagon is a Resin kit I bought off Ebay a couple years ago. They still pop up once in a while. 60 HT, do you mean Chev or Pontiac, both are available now. The Chev is a Revell kit (lowrider) and the Pontiac is made by Trumpeter
