I was in a wal mart today and spotted some motor max "american graffiti" 1/64 cars on the pegs. They had a Dodge Magnum,'40 Ford panel,'49 Mercury,and a '69 GTO Judge. Good looking castings but I don't see what they have to do with the movie.

I picked up the GTO, the scale looked good, and the overall tampo and paint were done very nice. But the VERY CHEAP plastic base just was a let down. Overall, not done as well as the FC. But I will use the wheels and tires on something.

Ilike the wheels on the GTO, but not enough to drop $2.97 on it, IMHO the casting on the 1:64 cars are extremely cheap and cheesy looking.
As previously stated in this thread, these casting are best known as 2/$1.00 cheapies.

They weren't quite $3 here. In fact, they were just under $2. I picked up the '40 Delivery and the '49 Merc (the flames are pretty cool). The wife liked the GTO, so it came home with us too. We also picked up a could 1:87 sets of a vehicle pulling a little travel trailer. Not my usual scale and not Motormax, but they were just too cool to pass up for $3. All in all, some cool little cars showing up during this WM toy reset! :thumbsup:

I didn't think they looked that bad.

The metallic, red 49 Merc had a decent flame job,the 69 Judge actually had detail that other companies have omitted,ie hood tachs.

The blue panel could be better but it fit well with my blwf theme.

in a worst case scenario;the rims and tires could be salvaged for great customs,or the cars themselves could use upgraded wheels..

I saw these this afternoon. Wasn't impressed enough to buy them though.

I have been searching for this one even before MotorMax released the American Graffiti line.

Superior to the Hot Wheels versions in its wheels, realistic color interior and clear windows. I like the painted bumpers rather than chrome plastic.

I picked up the GTO the other day. IMO it's not a bad car for $1.97.
