It strikes me that most of these cars, although nice, have already been done to death. How 'bout some more original thinking, GL, like your '67'/68 Impala and '70 Mustang notchback? Those were a breath of fresh air. :thumbsup:

The '70 Cuda convetible & '67 Coronet convertible have never been done before?

GL is putting out some cool stuff! I'm looking forward to seeing how these turn out. I really like the color combo on that '69 Mach 1. I just hope GL remembers to use the correct casting with the quarter panel scoop instead of using a tampo for the scoop. A front chin spoiler would be nice too.

Very Cool News ! ! ! Thanks Rob :thumbsup: I'll definitely be looking to get a couple of each of the Mustangs. I keep checking GL's site hoping to see some production pictures of the new Shelby GT-500 and Mustang GT they are coming out with :D

Take care and have a great week all ! Oh and a Happy Thanksgiving too !

I have to ask. Why do an agreement with Barrett - Jackson to make cars that could be made anyway? Seems like an unnecessary licensing fee.

I quess I`ll soon be getting into `green machine` collecting for those 2 `cuda`s.
About time somebody made a 70 cuda conv.I`ll definately be ordering me some greenlights finally. :freak:
I would love to see the black 71 hardtop hemi cuda that sold the same night added to this series[that would be the only way to top this]. :thumbsup:

the same guy that bought it happens to own the 5 million $ cuda also.He also sold one for $3million.

Looks like a winner for a series. Typically, I do not buy castings over and over....But I will buy that set. I like the true replica "real" historic tie in through the card and art.

HW has had one for almost 10 years, I believe. :thumbsup:

Ouch! :p OK, Point well made! I forgot about those :rolleyes: I guess that I was blinded by the fact that they were new from Greenlight! I am just hungry for new GL cars!

Oh yeah, I would love to see new cars too. I just wonder why GL feels they need to tie in with Barrett-Jackson. Maybe GL might be getting some press during the actual auction which in such a case might be a good thing.

That's a Cuda? LOL. Always wondered what that was supposed to be.

yeah, no kidding!

just fill that convertible up with snot and there you have it,
...Mattels version of a Cuda Hardtop


that is one casting that needs to be retired violently.

I mean, doesn't HW have a 100% / Cool Collectible, HW Cuda casting (other than the Snake),or is that only the challenger they have?

well I quess I`ll say anyone has made a `decent` casting.
This hw `cuda is a terrible casting and I do have a few of them just because I`ve already had them before I got `into` collecting JL`s.
The `fake` looking hardtop on this casting is just plain crazy looking.
The only one that looks good is the muscle car review cuda

they have a couple versions of the fake hardtop,then the uglier `chex` cuda hardtop that looks like an afterthought.No 100% one for the `Cuda.Just the challenger which has a very good casting now they should just do the same for the cuda.
