1/25 AMT 1966 Chevrolet Nova - Grumpy's Toy

[Casey]

Here's a look at the 1/25 AMT Grumpy's Toy 1966 Chevrolet Nova, kit #772, released in 2013. A near straight reissue of the early '90s all-new '66 Nova from AMT/Ertl, this particular issue includes newly tooled front and rear steel wheels, all-new front and rear bench seats (presumably a lower-level trim than the SS coupe would include), and an excellent decal sheet which includes all the markings for Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins' 'Grumpy's Toy' drag version.

Here are all six sides of the box, with the bottom showing all the included parts in plan view:
