My son-in-law bought me this kit over a year ago. I decided to build it a couple weeks ago-----
I have about 40 hours in building it so I won't be doing any more of these-----

Cool! Have been an off/on model builder most of my life.
Monogram Nascars of the 80s probably my fav but never got into the other expensive brands.
I've never found a decent 64 kit.

VERY cool model! It looks like you have much better modeling skill than I do. I built a ‘64 Cyclone model many years ago to mimic my Cyclone when it was red. I also found this vintage Aurora model many years ago but never built it. I am sure both of them would now be a rare find.

The unbuilt Aurora kit, it is smaller than 1/25th:
1/25th scale Cyclone, I cannot remember what brand the kit was:

Thanks Jim: I didn't do that good with the 65 model but I am happy with it. The kit is actually the Dyno Don Nicholson car but I won't put the decals on it. Your 64 model looks good too. I would like to find a 67/68/69 Barracuda coupe as that is my current daily driver. I might find the time to build that one:-)

Those are cool. I thought about building an ocean tourquise 65 Cyclone model for my Dad but never got around to it. He bought one new and I came home from the hospital when I was born in that car.
This picture was taken in the summer of 1969, yes that is my Dad holding me in front of his Cyclone.
