Survivor AMT 1964 Pontiac GTO

[Oliver77]

This is a true survivor! I built this when it came out, and it was one of my first spray paint jobs. (Probably AMT lacquer) Chrome trim is Testors brush paint (it is almost dry now, I’ll give it a couple more weeks LOL). A lot of attempts at detail painting. Big rear tires supply the proper stance.

The interior uses custom seats, has woodgrain sticker accents, dirty footprint decals on passenger floorboards, even a green alligator on the rear floor! The hood still has the dreaded metal clip installed. Has a rear bumper hitch, and the coolest feature (to 11 year old me) is the tiger stripe pipe cleaner hanging off the rear bumper!

It definitely shows decades of shelf wear but dang it, that 64 GTO body is a tuff looking car.

Nice to see it still survives and wasn't blown up with fire crackers or something.?

Love it! So great that it survived all these years! I have never seen those wheels before, did they come with the kit?

[deuces wild]

Yeah, I noticed those also.... Very cool wheels!...??

It looks like you were a pretty talented 11 year old. Nice that it survived all these years. I wish I still had some of mine, but I think they didn’t last too long after I got my pellet gun.?

Love it! The original Goat. Checking out the TriPower carbs too.

Looks to be in pretty good shape after all this time. Enjoy the memories that it brings you and put it back on the shelf.

I thirdst that -- those look quite contemporary! It's like Motor Wheels Flys : very advanced design !

That's a lovely survivor (Snake will be envious ?) from a talented youth!
