Great episode! Felt like a college class on models.

Comparisons might not be the most exciting but they are interesting to some!

I built the 66 very nice kit I love that it does have the hood emblem but that 65 front and back is bad azz Thanks for sharing this video

Thanks Shawn! I hope it's as useful to others as it was for me.

Great comparison Adam!!

[@sodakmodelcars]

Thanks Tom! It was interesting to see that the 65 can be easily restored because most of the 66 is still a 65.

[@SmallADVentures1973]

That was pretty neat, great comparison too 😁✌️

[@sodakmodelcars]

Thanks Stephen!

The newer 66 kit, On the fuel injection hood, if used with the stock grill there's a gap in between the hood and grill, and I noticed that the 66 kit has a 65 dashboard 66 had rectangle Gauge and 65 have round gauges

[@sodakmodelcars]

Yeah it makes sense for the fuel injected hood to be with the 65 drag version and the Hilborn but like I said I couldn't find any sources showing it with it and the instructions don't show it. But if there's a gap then it likely matches up with the 65 grille. Thanks for the comment

[@LarrysModelShop]

Great comparison video.

[@sodakmodelcars]

Thanks! They can feel a bit repetitive while making them but I like having that resource out there.

[@AmateurScaleModelBuildi-lj3so]

Very cool comparison

[@sodakmodelcars]

Thanks! It was fun to see the differences myself and thought I'd share!

I was wondering why the '65 Wildcat tends to be so expensive compared to the '66 or other Wildcat models? Was there ever another production since the original '65 issue?

[@sodakmodelcars]

I think I tried to explain it in this video, maybe it was another. But yes it's hard to find as there was only a one time issue of the 65, then it was changed to the 66 for the next year and then has since been re-released a few times making it much easier to aquire. The 66 still has the 65 dash and Interior so technically they would only need to retool the body/bumpers but probably not enough demand or interest to do so. There's many examples of this like 67-72 Chevy pickups, all were produced but only the 72 remains because 73 was a major body style change and so enough tooling needed to be changed to leave it after 72. 64&65 Chevelles/El Caminos are another. 64 was one year and then they altered tooling for 65 and 65 varieties remain, another example is the 65 Chevelle tooling was then turned into a drag car with altered wheel base so the stock 65 variation is gone as well.
