I used to have a lot more die-casts, but have sold a lot, but couldn't let my A-bodies go.

Looking for 74 dart sport 360 Die cast or model. Do you know of any that were made? Have been looking sort of since 1976 have never tripped over one yet.

Only in 1/24 plastic, and just the '75/6 MY cars... both factory promos and model kits.

No there's small 1/64 scale die-cast 75-76 darts, but to have a 74 the only option I am aware of would be to get a 1/25 model of the 75-76 dart that MPC do and see if you could try and make a custom grille. I have thought about that using another car grille that has a similar bar pattern to the 73-74 dart and grafting it to the 75-76 grille. A lot of fiddly work though.
 
That’s what I thought. Always wanted a model of my car and after 40 plus years of sort of looking resigned to the fact that it is non existent. Got fingers like pork sausages so custom modeling is not an option. Thanks for the input
 
I built a bunch of models when I was a lad, almost all of them gone now. I mostly have die-cast models today - spares me the work of paint and assembly. These are a few I have on the top of the hutch of my office desk. These are all 1/18 except for the 1/43 56 Plymouth. I have a couple more 1/18 scale Mopars on my desk, and another dozen 1/25 scale Franklin Mints in an enclosed case, including a 57 Chrysler 300 convertible, a 56 DeSoto Adventurer, a 53 Buick Skylark convertible, the Ala Karte, the Little Deuce Coupe, the Rod & Custom Dream Truck and the Hirohata Merc. And a 65 Valiant factory promo.

The small trophy behind the 56 Chrysler 300 was my Dad's, for being a class winner at the drags in the spring of 1957 with his 56 D500 Dodge.

I've been looking at some of the prices for the older specialty cars. They are going for some good money now.

Yep, strangely for me the hard one to get was the red 74 duster, and they were going for crazy money after a while, but I managed to get a good price one due to a small blemish in the paint that is hardly noticeable.
