This one looks excellent ! I have this 1/43 one from YM (as well as two of their very nice 1/18ths) and they're welcome additions showcasing full-size muscle from that era.

I also have the white-over-red and the all-white version.  It's a simple model but quite appealing - so appealing, in fact, that I couldn't resist attacking it. I think it's some kind of pathological compulsion which afflicts "choppers".

Anyway I converted it into the sedan with the "Breezeway" roll-down rear window designed to suck in exhaust fumes from the back of the car to provide a more spaced-out driving experience.

I know Sergio has a '65 Park Lane Breezeway in development but until then, this one does the job well enough.

@graeme-ogg    Graeme,  I really admire your skills of rebuilding models.  Just for fun, here's another "Breezeway" roll-down rear window designed to suck in exhaust fumes, this time on a Packard concept car.
