Hobby lobby was closing them out a while back. I bought a nice 1:24 challenger for $5.
 
Our Ollie's Bargain Outlet gets a lot of 1/64 Greenlight, Johnny Lightening and Racing Champions. Some nice stuff.

I don't know if Ollie's Bargain Outlet is an east coast thing, I just happened to think of that. I know they are in the Upstate NY area, Pa, and here in the central piedmont. I have never seen M2's there, but some cool other diecast. A lot of times it looks like new old stock stuff.

I had no idea they made a green one.

I found this today at king soopers as well as a couple more blue ones.

So at the grocery store I noticed there were a few cars that fell behind the display stand. Who knows how long they were back there, but this charger was one of them. I have not seen this one around so I'm suspecting it was behind that stand for quite some time.

Nope not yet. Found one in ebay but it was way to much. I went thru the stacks at Walmart to with no luck I have to run in rural king tomorrow to get dog food I will look there too!
PM me your address and I'll send you a blue one if you like. I bought out what I found so I have a few and I will share with my beak dart brother :)
 
10 years ago I’d never think of wanting one. Now I’d buy one and daily drive it, not think twice.
Before I got mine I didn't know alot about them. I always wanted a 68 or 69. Tbh I don't like the rear bumpers that much on 70-73 dart swingers I like the 74-76 rearends better. But I always like 67-69 taillights. And 68-69 grille was my favorite. So when I got my 75 I started learning more about them and fell in love with the later cars and now as much as I hate to say it I like them better. Don't take that wrong I love all mopars especially darts but 73-75 are my favorite darts. I just like the interior better and the rear taillights better 73-74 are my favorite grilles but I like my 75 too
I actually want to get a 74 grille to put in my car just to preserve my original 75 grille from danger lol

EXACTLY .... I thought of doing the same thing only because my 75 grille is mint and they are MEGA hard to find.

I daily drive a 68 dart but 67 to 69 box darts are very popular and you see a lot of them around. The advantage is a lot of parts are being re popped for 67 to 9.
When I found my 75, I saved it from getting parted and crushed and bought it as part of a package deal with some other cars. For as compete and good of a car it is, I think it's a shame anyone would have thrown it away.

I hate to see any good solid car get parted. Thanks for saving that 75! You know around here I don't see hardly any darts at all hardly ever. There is only 2 that I know of in the area. And they are 71 and 72. One is about an hour away where I hunt at and its a gorgeous 71 dart swinger. the other is a 72 demon and it unrestored (very rough) setting in a car port on the side of the road in town. Id love to find a 68 to make a daily out of lol im really wanting a 4 door or wagon to work on. Either a dart or valiant. But wouldn't mind a larger b or c either!
 
I don't mind the "beak" look. The massive extra weight of the "energy absorbing' bumpers are what annoys me about 'em.
