I think I'm never going to see a nice 70 Challenger convertible done.

I've seen some pretty cool '70 Challenger convertible diecasts, however I am pretty sure they were custom made very limited edition ones, and they weren't cheap (over $100).
The old saying about if you want something done, you have to do it yourself holds true, I built a 1:25 scale model of my Challenger convertible, and my model will probably be the only FK5 Challenger convertible with a flat hood scale replica ever made.

The above 1:18 is pretty darn close....

I highly recommend to you race fans to look up Billy Kid Stepp .
His Ohio gangster history is a great read ,most of his cars were ex sox cars .
Take note of the drivers that drove for Mr Stepp also .GB

Working close with the die cast manufacturers at time, I do have some insight on these. Several years ago Ertl did announce a 1972 Cuda to be made, but there were very few pre-orders (early orders/reservations) so they decided not to make them. Recently (last fall) they were brought up again. This time possibly by Die Cast Promotions / Highway 61, as they have almost (almost) ran out of 70-71 variations to make. These slightly newer cars are being considered for 2011. I'll keep you posted.
