Stangfreak 07-31-2008, 09:07 PM This is the model car of all model cars... 1/18 scale 1964 Ford Thunderbolt... Way too much detail to describe, so I'll let the pics speak for themselves !!!

zeb41 08-01-2008, 08:12 AM Wow! That is awesome. I like that the doors open correctly on that model. Way cool!
cih1979 08-01-2008, 10:18 AM is that something you put together? or something you bought already made, IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! love the detail, especially in the interior and under the hood
wildbill63 08-01-2008, 12:04 PM Stangfreak, am I seeing you in the chrome bezel for the ram air in the last pic or am I just seeing things again? These are great pic's of a great car by the way.:thumbsup:

Hello cih1979,
This is a diecast model already assembled... It's made by Precision Models...
It sold at the local hobby shops for 89 bucks... I was lucky enough to get this one on ebay for 49 bucks...

Hello wildbill63,
That sure looks like a persons reflection in the benzel... I didn't even notice that... But it's not me, I was wearing a bright red shirt... That is pretty freaky !!!
CJTORINO 08-01-2008, 07:30 PM I used to think that was an ultimate diecast,
then I bought some Highway 61 Cars.
This '71 'cuda 528 Hemi Super Street car is just plain awesome:

CJTORINO 08-01-2008, 07:33 PM then, theres the Highway 61
Super Street '71 Challenger. no, its not an R/T,
but it looks tough with poverty rims and a 426 Hemi:

In my opinion the Highway 61 cars are great and top notch, but they don't have the interior detail like this Precision Thunderbolt...
Never seen keys in the ignition, or opening glove compartment boxes open up on the Highway 61s...
Door handels and window cranks are all seperate pieces, and the dash detail is amazing...
I believe the quality of the Thunderbolt is superior to any of the Highway 61 cars I ever had also...
Highway 61s are awesome, but I still consider this the Ultimate !!!
