My tribute build to a 67 GP my dad bought new in 67 and owned until mid-90's, one of his and my favorite cars.

This is the Modelhaus resin painted with Testors Mystic Maroon and lot's of clear.

Looks great ! 

My dad's best friend had a white '67 hardtop in '73/'74. Still remember the tour of Vancouver he took us on in it back then. :)

Very cool Jim!

I didn't even know that Modelhaus had this one available.

Nice job!

Coming from you, that is a high compliment after seeing your 300's. I'm not even close in the same league as you. 

Yes,Modelhaus has this and the HT 67. Very well done castings, of course as always some trimming is required and the convertible is for some reason narrower than the HT in the rear, I had to section 3/8" from the rear bumper in the middle, hard to see I did but took some extra effort. the bumper fits well on the HT though.

I'm digging into the HT this summer, my dad had one as well, love the GP's

Wow!!!! That one is very nice. I have one of the hardtops in my stash. A fellow who owned an auto parts shop near a former barber had a Royal Plum '67, with a white vinyl roof and interior. It was not restored, but was in decent shape. I am leaning towards Turquoise with a Black Vinyl roof and interior when I build mine..

Nice! I'm doing the hardtop in Topaz Teal with a white top and white interior, same as my dad had.

I have a '67 Bonneville that I hope to do soon.

I guess with the issues at Modelhaus, I'll just stick to that for now.

The Royal Plum is the color I'll be doing my Bonneville in.

Already got the paint from MCW some time ago.

Wow, VERY nice! The front end of the '67 Pontiacs is so weird that they have been a favorite of mine since 1967B). (I always thought they looked like something Batman would drive if he were, say, an insurance agent.) Well done and model on!

I have a thing for Pontiac Bonnevilles, as I have most of the '60's in scale to build. I have a '67 Bonneville Hardtop in primer, that I have not decided on the color. I am leaning towards Dark Blue, with a Black Interior, which should look good on the car. I know that the Royal Plum will be stunning on that car.
