1965 Ford Thunderbird Convertible 'George Barris Customized' (3 'n 1) Stock, Custom or Competition (1/25) Issued in 1965 and Made in Troy, Michigan.

This kit was part of an Estate Sale, famous in the model kit world, as this was yet another rare fussy collector that kept his collector kits in climate controlled mint perfection. The kit has been inspected and all parts are present on trees like a brand new kit. The chrome is bright. The windshield cowl is perfect. No tire burn was detected. We did take the precaution of sealing the tires. The decal sheet was face down on the bottom of the box as packed by the manufacturer. 50 year old decals are doubtful. With some precaution like a coat of liquid decal Dp127, the decal may be usable. The '65 T'bird is a rare bird indeed.

I have been inspecting kits for at least 25 years, and I never get tired of gawking at pristine mint condition early '60s annuals like this one. Please note that AMT sealed the 1965 annuals with tape. Look carefully at the last picture in the rotation and you can see the original price tag. Also, if you did not know, the numbers after the dash in the product code of "6215-150" or 150 is the suggested retail price. That means this kit had a suggested retail price of $1.50 when issued in late 1964. This one was discounted to $1.12. Nice buy for our late friend 50 years ago!
