While we thank AMT for re-releasing the Dodge Monaco four door as the 'Goon
Car' from batman, they don't actually use any 4 door Dodges like it in
the movie. one is a Dodge dart (GT 3700) the other is a Chevy Malibu.
i
happened to have this kit left over after stealing it's engine for
another project, so i decided it would fill the role of the malibu. It's
an AMT chevy citation, a similar two door, v6 cylinder engined slug
box. I took a few goes to get the paint right as the first green layer
went very wrong. after a change of paint brand and throwing on some nice
purple (green and purple are the joker's gang colors), i assembled the
kit per instructions but since the engine is gone, the bay is empty (for
now). i added a number plate frame for the front plate. it wouldn't fit
on the rear one, which i had to narrow to fit in the recess. I finally got to use the 'i love gotham' bumper stickers.
update: i've found a 4 cylinder dodge engine in my parts box that i'll put in this. the engine was actually a v6, and it's going in my firebird project. i'm
doing a replica of the pontiac firebird 88 that i used to own, it had a
v6, so im not using that kit's v8.
Looking at
imcdb, there was actually a Citation in the movie, just not one of the
gang cars.
