Lindberg 1964 Dodge 330

[Jim B]

I recently finished up my Lindberg 1964 Dodge 330. This is the 2006 Lindberg reissue, and not the most recent AMT reissue.

For the age of the kit, it went together quite well. Although I did have issues with my nemesis (radiator hoses), and the rear bumper gave me fits. Go figure.

The vision for this build was that of a regular, every day, commuter car or “grocery getter”. Nothing fancy, just a good, all-around car. The build is box-stock, but I did use the dash decals, Dodge logos, & Michigan plates from the most recent (2023) AMT kit. Color is Dupli-color Santa Fe Tan with a Tamiya Light Blue XF-23 interior.

The Leaning Tower of Not Much Power:

Coincidentally, I finished this Dodge exactly two years to the day of when I finished the AMT 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 (also a Lindberg kit):

Nice build! That reminds me I have the Super Stock version of this car that needs completion. Mine is missing a few parts. Also nice '65 Coronet 500 you built there!

Great looking stock Dodge.

Thanks, guys.

@RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA The Coronet 500 is a Snap-Tite kit, and it goes together fairly well.  Hope you find the parts you need for your Super Stock Dodge.

Thanks, Eric.

Silly me! I forgot to post some interior pictures.  Although the directions showed a bench seat, the kit came with bucket seats. Steve Roullier (@rancherosteve) came through with a trade.

That's pretty neat. Saw the '65 Kit in store once but didn't pick it up; should have though...

That's a fine build there James. I owned an Australian 1964 AP5 Valiant station wagon with the 225cu.in. slant six w/3 speed manual transmission and it kept up with most of the standard small block V8s that Ford and GM had to offer.

That's pretty sweet!

[Jim B]

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the positive comments.

@Falcon Ranchero The 1965 went together ok for a snap kit. Air cleaners don't fit under the hood, though. 

@XYHARRY Dave, that's a nice looking Valiant.

Great looking Dodge 330!

Thanks, guys.  Appreciate it.

Very nice build. I like the six cylinder.

Great looking basic car and colors to match. Cleanly detailed trim and interior. Nice to see the "leaning tower of power" get some respect.

Thanks, guys.
