Ran across this this morning.  Thought it might interest a few people.

Very nice!  I would love to have one of those but I haven't seen any of those 1/18 version by Auto Art for less than $125.  Great detail though. 

If you think about the average 1/18 style diecast car, it's just a metal shell, glass(plastic), and interior tub, chassis.  This one requires a lot more detail  with the gas tanks, custom interior and the engine is more detailed especially with the supercharger which is a one off because of the scoop.  Might be worth the $$$ but still a lot for a diecast when you're used to paying only like $20 or less for one.

The closest I have of one of those is in 1/24 scale.  I have a Cavalier model kit that someone mangled and might bring it back to life.  I did make an Interceptor out a 1/24 scale Chevelle.  Looks ok from like 20 feet.  :roflsmiley:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
