This kit may or may not be worth the search. AMT was shown to the door by MPC at the end of the '65 model (aha) year. Thus, they did not have the access to what Pontiac was doing for '67-8. They basically took what they knew about Camaro and guessed. ]

The kit is very similar to MPC, except for having a better Pontiac engine (one of the best in scale) and a body that looked more like hot wheels than GM.

I have one, and a sweet, krispy box, but the kit is in the "only a mother could love" stage. Keep your eye on the auctions, one will turn up for you.

It's a little ugly -- the kid who had it first put it together with what must have been Goodyear Pliobond contact cement, the all time worst stuff known to man.

I've mananged to clean off most of it. When I can bust out some shots for you, I will. My current plan is to ape the Hot Wheels specrtraflame Custom Firebird, with Cragars, Redlines, Candy Lime Gold and a blown 421. But, seeing has how there are already 1000+ in the collection, and I just hit a storage unit with my partner for over 1000 more, I've got a lot of styrene on my hands!
