Adam-12 patrol car model... am I out of luck?
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, September 10, 2005 7:39 PM

OK, FSM folks... would appreciate some ideas here.

I've been looking for a kit of a car to convert into a patrol car from the old Adam-12 series.

Can't find a 69 Plymouth Belvedere... closest kit out there is a 69 Roadrunner.. front & rear is identical in appearnce, but it's a 2-doo car, and the roof line is WAY different. I don't have the scratchbuilding skill to add the 2 missing doors & rework the roof line to make it into a 4-door Belvedere.

So then I see an ad for a 71 Plymouth Satellite, which was used in a later season of the show. Order it, the kit arrives... AGAIN, it's a 2-door model, not a 4-door!

Does anyone know of any kits, be they resin, styrene or whatever, of 4-door version of any of the following:

1967, 1968 or 1969 Plymouth Belvedere, 1971 Plymouth Satellite or 1972 AMC Matador.

Resin body conversion kits would work also. Thanks!

Got that one, but it's too different again in the roof line area to be used as a "graft" into one of the other cars.

Wouldn't ya know it... I post here, then find a place called resinrealm.net that has a 1968 Plymouth 4-door body & partial interior kit by a company called R&R. If they have it in stock, that resin body looks like it would make a perfect 1st-season Adam-12 patrol car with a few parts added from the Roadrunner & Jo-Han Police Fury kits.

Don't know if he's still looking for one after 5 years.
