Looking to build a '77 Camaro...any kit out there ('75/'76 AMT/MPC)?

Thanks Greg.  I already found the kit plus some PE and other AM items for it.  Now I just need to get around to building it.

Gino: are you still looking for a `77 Camaro kit?  If so, check here: www.jimnohio.com/camaros_firebirds.html

Regretfully I sold the car. Used the money to buy a 86' F-150 that I still have. I repainted the F-150 with lessons learned from the Camaro project and must say the results were better.

Sounds like it was a good project.  Do you still have the rebuilt one?  

We are slowly replacing the interior on it as well.  It is coming along really nicely.  So far it has a new dash, center console, and rear window tray.  Awaiting to put in a Z-28 gauge package with a cusom oil pressure guage instead of the stupid clock.   Still needs a driver's seat, headliner, and carpet.  The work continues...

I still haven't built the model of it yet either...eventually....

Brings back memories of a 77' I bought & painted in the early 90's. Almost every panel was a different color and the interior was out of a Z-28. Painted it Plum Crazy purple, the test it run wouldn't go over 35 mph. A bad vibration from the rear axle turned out to be a bent drive shaft! The rear differential must have been from the rolled Z-28. Bought a parts car without a engine or transmission for $100 for the axle. Two years ago sold the parts car at the farm auction for... $100

   thanks for posting and excellent job on the 77'!

Will do.  Thanks again Rob.

Don't forget that MPC's plastic was notoriously soft, Use caution when working with it.

Nice! How I wished I had a couple of those Camaro model year kits.

Success!!

I finally got one on eBay.  I also found a PE set, Edelbrock intake and valve cover set, and gauge decals for it.  I think I am set.

Thanks to everyone who had an eye out for me.

There's a  guy I knew who collects and sells vintage car model kits. Send me a PM and I'll see what he has. I'm sure they won't be $100 and up. That reminds me... I need to pay him a visit soon. It's been a long time since I stopped by.  LOL!

hopefully AMT will reissue it eventually. i'd like to get a 76 to build this.

Thanks Rob.  Somewhere around $50 or less would be great, but I'll do up to $75 if I have to.  Let me know what you find.

No joy on any of them.  I was sniped at the last minute on every one of them.  If you happen to find one, let me know.

Thanks.

Thanks.  Will do.

If they don't pan out, give me a holler, the local shop here often has vintage kits on the shelf. I don't look for Camaro kits; more of a vette or VW builder myself when I get around to car building.

Thanks Rob.  I hadn't seen those two.  I was following two others that were going for a lot higher, close to $100 each.

Found a couple Camaro models that may work, both around $30 + s/h

AMT 1977 Rally Sport

And an MPC 1975 3 in 1 kit (racing, street rod or stock)

Thanks Rob, but the '79 won't work.  It has a totally different rear and front end with integrated bumpers.  The '77 had separate, chrome bumpers.

I know Revell does a '79 Camaro "Street Burner" 2 in 1 kit. The box art is a yellow car with a blown engine, but it is molded in white and can be built as a regular stock Z28.
