AMT 67 Impala but you will have to lengthen it a bit. *NM*
The ‘70 Bonneville will give you the correct 119” wheelbase. *NM*
‘65-‘70 Impala’s had the 119” wheelbase. ‘67 or ‘70 would be easiest to find. *NM*
2X on the comment on the '70 Bonneville - same kit, same parts and not so expensive even now *NM*
3X on the 70 Bonneville. I used those kits to restore both my 68 and 69 Bonnevilles. Also I used a 69 Firebird single 4bbl intake, carb & aircleaner to replace the tri-power, and a resin automatic to replace the 4 speed.
Getting hard to find and somewhat pricey. Fire Chief would be the easiest and cheapest, but maybe not the most correct, although the WB is the same. *NM*
The wheelbase is not the same. 65-70 Impalas were 119", Bonnevilles were 124" in 65-68 and 125" in 69-70. This scales to about 0.2". MPC used the same chassis 66-70, so the 70 is a direct replacement. Our host has a 65 Bonneville for sale which should work also *NM*
Thanks guys!! *NM*
