Revell did have Coronets out a few years ago. Check around and you might turn one up. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. I had a 1966 Datsun 1600 Roadster for several years. Used to roar over Mt.Tamalpais everyday with deliveries to Stinson Beach. Any straight sections on that road used to be turns until I got rid of them. Added forty lbs. of lead in the trunk and spacers on the rear wheels that cancelled out the yaw tendancy. Fine tuned engine helped as well. The design was pretty much an Austin-Healy body with an MG rear end. Unfortunately the designer included the anti-impact plate under the transmission that Austin Healy had, making the far too common repairs to the clutch a major chore including pulling the drive train part of the way out just to get to it. Datsun later did a 2000 version without correcting the yaw problem. I used parts from a wrecked 2000 for spares. They also used the bastard Japanese ISO threading that was neither metric nor SAE. Closest kits that I could find anywhere was the Fair Lady and that was a long time ago.

I meant to say the GXT model.I picked this particular Coronet up while living in Penna. in 1980,it was used,had a bench front seat red leather,used to be buckets,but hey must of been tossed years before,couldn't fill the tank up all the way,it leaked.wasd painted bright oreange with a god awful ''landau'' vinyl roof.Earlier before i had it someone dropped a 71 Newport engine in it.A hurst shifter,4 speed also.Seems like theres more coronets rolling around in Penna than Ohio. > >>> you're looking for a scale model car,(like one you had years ago & > >>> really liked it) & all you can find is the sister version?.I had a '67 [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > speed also.Seems like theres more coronets rolling around in Penna > than Ohio. Haven't seen any lately but I'm hoping to get down to a car show Saturday. '71 Newport? Sounds like it would have been a 440, unless they were trying to push that barge around with a 383. They both look similar from the outside except for the carburetion, IIRC.

'67. You'd have to do some fancy work on the grille and the taillights to get the '66. I assume you mean something like Anniversary Gold. That's what it was called back in '64. I had a '64 Polara coupe but for some reason it was painted with the Custom 880 shade. Yes, it did look different.
