Hey Ghost, the Hot Wheels Classics line has a 1970 Dodge Dart that is really a '68.  They been out for a while and come in different colors.  I picked up 2 just because.  I also have 2 1973 Chargers form JL.  One is nasty green from the Muscle Cars USA series, the other is red from the Mopar or no car series.  Judging by the "vinyl" top, I think they are SE cars.

Do you mean the '70-'74 Barracudas?  Matchbox has a pack of 5 muscle cars out now that has a medium blue Barrcuda in it.  I think that pack also had a '69 Camaro.  Once in a blue moon Hot Wheels will put out a convertible '70 'Cuda but not very often.  The last time I got one of those was a couple years ago, and I think it was a Treasure Hunt car or something wierd like that.

Johnny lightning has a line of 1/24 scale muscle cars out now.  Detail is nice.  As far as Mopar stuff goes, they currently have a yellow Super Bird, opening hood and doors, steerable front wheels.  A few month's ago they had out a FM3 Panther Pink Cuda with shaker hoos scoop, louvers, and Go Wing.  Unfortunately the door don't open.  I happened to find a White Lightning version that has a white interior and white Crager rims.  It doesn't look as nice but I got it because of its rarity, 1-7% of these cars are White lightning, according to JL. 

I don't go out looking for White Lightnings or Treasure Hunt cars on purpose to collect.  It consumes a lot of time and $$$.  I just bump into things once in a while that I like when I'm already out shopping. I met one guy that has literally a whole garage full.  Now he doesn't want them and can't get rid of them.








Of those Johnny Lightnings, I have one of the 70 HEMI Cudas, and a red version of the Duster.

And, by second gen Barracudas, I mean from 67-69, the 2nd generation.

Ever since the day I first seen the Hot Wheels Classics, I haven't been able to find them again.  I guess all the collecters came and bought them all. :(
