Another NICELY detailed job by Highway 61!

Both doors an trunk open with detailed interior, engine wiring and plumbing, short driveshaft rotates when rear wheels are rotated, as well as many other detailed extras! What else is COOL about this car is the fact that it's copied from the real car which was pretty WICKED if you got the opportunity to see it run at the drags!

Here are a few pics!

I'd like to see these guys do the Hurst Hairy Olds.
Having seen this car in action, this is a great and killer representation.
Thanks for the awesome pics.

My friend also has that Car. Yes its expensive but is is VERY COOL! He got it because he remembers its wheel stands going down the track. You might want to look at the way the driver got to see going down the track!

Yea, I happen to work at a dragstrip and we had a "Mopar Day" and he had the car on display and was selling the diecast. I also have a mini Johnny Lightning "Show Stopper" of this car and he signed that also.

Believe me, the temptation to take it out and display it is hard to resist!

Workin at the DRAGS...YOU LUCKY DOG!!!

While I do have it out of the box...I do display it in one of those 1:18 Giovanni 12 car display cases. That case really keeps the dust down to a minimum!

Yea, not to go off the topic of the website, but I have worked there for nine years and I love it. Arnie Beswick is coming in June for our Pontiac day and I plan to get him to sign all my Arnie Beswick GTO's and the 1963 Super Duty LeMans :D

Man Dude...I'd give my left nut for a job like that!

I have the Arnie Beswick Firebird Funnycar in 1:18, and she's a Beauty!
