STUNNING ORIGINAL 1963 AMT CHEVROLET PICK-UP & TRIUMPH MODEL KIT -SCREWBOTTOM

THIS IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE KIT OF ALL TIME. THE TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLE IS THE FINEST 1/25 MOTORCYCLE EVER PRODUCED JUST MY OPINION. THIS KIT IS OFF THE CHARTS RARE AND THIS ONE APPEARS TO BE 100% COMPLETE EXCEPT THE DECALS AND INSTRUCTIONS GOT WET SOMETIME BACK IN THE DAY. THE INSTRUCTION SHEET IS JUST WRINKLED A LITTLE BUT THE DECALS WERE DESTROYED.

EVEN MORE INCREDIBLE IS THAT THE ORIGINAL BOX SOMEHOW AVOIDED THE MOISTURE AND ACTUALLY IS THE MOST MINT BOX FROM THIS ERA THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN- ITS JUST IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO GLUE WAS USED IN THE MOCK-UP AND NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED OR INJURED DURING FILMING!!!!!!!

WHEN I BOUGHT THIS IT WAS STILL SEALED SO YOU CAN IMAGINE JUST HOW MUCH "I" PAID. FROM 50 PLUS YEARS OF BEING BOXED ONE OF THE TIRES WAS LAYING ON THE BED FLOOR AND LEFT A BURN MARK IN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR CORNER OF THE FLOOR ONLY. I HAVE REPAIRED THAT TO NEARLY INVISIBLE(SEE PHOTO)-- ONCE PAINTED IT SHOULDN'T SHOW AT ALL. THERE ARE SO MANY PARTS TO THIS KIT ITS VERY HARD TO BE SURE BUT I BELIEVE EVERYTHING IS HERE FOR THE TRUCK AND THE BIKE.

GOING THROUGH THIS KIT IS ALMOST A SPIRITUAL EVENT FOR ME. I HAVE HAD THIS FOR YEARS AND NEVER COULD FORCE MYSELF TO BUILD IT. I HAVE FOUND A GOOD USED TRUCK AND TRIUMPH TO BUILD FOR MYSELF WHICH IS ALL I EVER WANTED SO THIS MINT COLLECTIBLE CONDITION RARITY IS GOING TO SELL! I CAREFULLY DISASSEMBLE THEM, STRIP THE PAINT (when its needed) AND DECALS, AND REMOVE ALL CUSTOM GLUED ON PARTS.

SOME ARE ROUGHER CONDITION WISE THAN OTHERS BUT I TRY TO MAKE THEM ALL EQUAL BY USING PLASTIC WELDING TECHNIQUES WITH LITTLE TO NO PUTTY, EVEN MAKING NEW PARTS WHEN NEEDED. IF THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF BODY WORK TO DO I NEED TO USE PRIMER TO ASSURE THAT IT IS WELL FINISHED. I USE AN IVORY PRIMER THAT CLOSELY MATCHES THE COLOR OF THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC WHEN NEW SO IT CAN BE BUILT IN THAT COLOR IF YOU AREN'T INTO PAINTING; JUST COLLECTING.

I MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO DO THE VERY BEST ON EVERY MODEL AND IF YOU AREN'T HAPPY JUST LET ME KNOW AND WE WILL TRY TO FIX THAT TOO. WHAT I STRIVE FOR IS A RESTORED MODEL KIT THAT YOU CAN DISPLAY AS IS OR WET SAND, PREPARE AND PAINT INTO A FINE BUILD. I TRY TO POINT OUT FLAWS THAT I CANNOT REPAIR SUCH AS EMBLEMS THAN HAVE BEEN SANDED OFF AND THEN I. TAKE THE BEST PHOTOS I CAN SO YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF.

I SELL MY DEBUILT AND RESTORED MODELS IN KIT FORM. YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO SOME SANDING YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE EXTREMELY HIGH STANDARDS. I DO HAVE SOME OF THE ACCESSORIES THAT CAME WITH THESE OLD ANNUALS BUT THEY ARE SCARCE IN GOOD SHAPE. JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AND I WILL TRY TO HELP. THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL GET A BETTER EXAMPLE OF THIS KIT IS TO PAY FOR ONE THAT WAS NEVER OPENED!

WE ARE SAVING THE SPECIES ONE GREAT OLD MODEL AT A TIME! HELP US PRESERVE OUR HERITAGE! I HATE PEOPLE LIKE THAT.

SO ITS UP TO YOU GUYS. MY FAITHFUL BUYERS WILL SEE ME THROUGH.

STARTING A KIT LIKE THIS AT MY REGULAR STARTING PRICE OF 19.95 IS JUST A LITTLE SCARY I GUESS. I have the other 63 kit - Ford with streamliner gokart, complete with orig. Its been restored a little but is unpainted and in fantastic condition. I will list the Ford/Kart kit when I get a few requests for it.
