IDK if folks here have seen these but they are very good diecast models. I bought one that was close to my car and the detail is amazing! They only made a limited number of these but they did make them in different colors.

That's a beauty. Highway 61 made some great models. Greenlight/GMP have made a deal for the molds so we will hopefully be getting more of them. Not that I can afford models any more after getting my Duster.

I have the M-Code 69 GTS in beige and a Mod-Top 69 Swinger. Most of mine are 68s though along with the Go-Mango 70 and the Cdn only 71 Swinger 340.
Also have all the 68 HemiDarts - Mancini, Bagshaw, McCandless, Landy and Shahan and the as delivered in primer. I need to take some pics of my car room one day.

Cheers,

Steve

Yep, those are the infamous "Recall" wheels. Good eye!

Here are a few more of the details they included on this diecast...

WOW!!!!! What scale is this? I'd LOVE to get my hands on a set of the rims (just for something different) but DANG the detail in that is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!

It's a 1:18 scale die-cast and it is heavy as hell compared to other ones that I have. It must be all the details that weight it down. :)
 
They are pretty nice overall, but I think the engine looks very "generic". For example, the really long/skinny squared off valve covers, funny looking breathers with a PCV hose going (where?), engine painted wrong color (the Mopar blue on some '69 340s was a bright, almost peacock blue, and most '69 340s were orange). Don't know why they put chrome around the front side reflector. And yeah, that's not a GTS dash.

LOL! It's a die-cast model, not a museum piece.

You might as well say that the tires aren't really rubber, they aren't labeled with the correct manufacturer imprinting, the top isn't really vinyl and doesn't have the 2 side seams, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Whadda want for $100? Jeez... #-o

I dunno, but Revell got it 99% better with their 1/25 plastic model kits of the '68 & '69 GTS/GSS. Of course you gotta build it, but they're less than $20 usually.
 
this is a highway 61 ......... 1 of 600
'71 Swinger 440 4-speed
