I love this Duster mold. Previously, I was only aware of the Sox and Martin version (which I bought at significant expense a few years back). Thanks for sharing this...I need both of these. :D

@Oldmanmopar which part do you disagree with? Oh, it's another "revenge" disagree. You're cracking me up.

Also, a company called Yatming made a Dart Sport (1975-76). It seems that it was last produced in the early 1980s and is incorrectly labeled as “Plymouth.” I bought a few of them and the roughest one has been stripped down and will be made into an (as close as possible) representation of my...

Here are a few of my favorite Mopars from my collection…

I’m getting the sense that you may be misunderstanding what these things are. These are 1/24 scale model cars so 7” long or so? Of course someone could invest the time to 3-D print their own body mounts alter the chassis length, and go to some lengths to modify them to accept bodies made for...

That's a nice two pack! Be careful because these things will suck you in. Johnny Lightning has very nice castings (in my opinion) based on A Body Barracudas.

The product that used to be called Future floor polish has been working well for me for years. In addition to protecting decals, it also can provide a layer of protection for chrome. If you change your mind, isopropyl rubbing alcohol will remove it but make sure that the paint/surface...

:D Unfortunately, the Challenger body only fits the AWD platform and the folks who race these things always run the RWD platforms. IMO, the ZL1 was preferable to the other bodies available on that platform.

Had to pick up the ZL1 as well…

1/28 Mini-Z

Is anyone still driving these? I’ve been loving my 1/10 Fazer2 Hellcat. I got mine in B5 blue and bought a spare body that has taken a major beating on the local hobby shop track. It has been a great performer! My buddies and I have also gotten into 1/28 Mini Z cars too… and of course the...

Did you ever build this thing? I’m thinking about doing the same for my Slash.

Fresh from the mailbox...

yep. Retail is $11.99 I believe.

Mattel is a master at creating scarcity and making people scramble to find that one rare car in a case of 76 or whatever. If you haven’t already, read up on Treasure Hunt series that has been going on since 1995. They have sent countless retired guys to their local Walmart at 6AM. Their...

Thanks! Ive been keeping an eye out but it looks like it goes for about 2x retail on line.

I’m super jealous of that Superbird!

The inside info is appreciated. What is not appreciated is the drool that I have to clean off of my keyboard! :D Cool models...that backdrop is just perfect too. It looks like you have a mini car museum in your house!

Yep. They're kinda like the New York Yankees who would just buy players until they started winning. :D

Great stuff, guys. I only have a few 1:18 models. Who makes the best ones these days? I posted in another thread that the Greenlight Challenger from "Vanishing Point" is a gorgeous model but it has a couple of lines that just wrong enough to be annoying. Then how do you go about obtaining a...

Is that right? I imagine it's only certain kinds of factory errors/blemishes, right? I'd love it if they "accidentally" put Real Riders on one of these. :)

A few more from the Chevelle collection...

A few more from the Olds 442 collection:

I don't know about you guys but while Mopars occupy the vast majority of my car related thoughts (and diecast collection) I happen to love all kinds of cars, especially 50s-70s American machines. The Olds 442 is one of my all time favorite non-Mopars and it turns out that Johnny Lightning makes...

I just found one of these during a supply run to the grocery store. I was psyched until after I got home and I saw that my copy has a pretty darned off center stripe. Well, it looks ok in the package so that's where it will stay. :D

Too cool. That little hotrod has been on some wild adventures, probably being chased by Rosco P. Coltrain! Awesome find. The cars that we had when we were kids will always be the best ones. That’s a keeper.

I’m working on it. There’s only one 1/64 Dart Sport casting in the world as far as I know and it’s a pretty low quality sculpt of a ‘75...but it’s the best I’ve got. I found a reasonable facsimile of my wheels and some old JL tires fit perfectly...

Those almost look like Mopar rally wheels

1968 Custom Cuda...not in the best of shape but it was 25 years old and well loved by the time I found it.
