Recently I came across some 1/64 scale 1 Badd Ride images on sale for two bucks a piece. Knowing only that 1 Badd Ride originated in Rogers, Arkansas up the road some twenty miles or so and marketed through Wal-Mart, inspecting these models, my first 1 Badd Rides, gave me an initial impression that their models are altered quite a bit from stock, the body panels in particular. Is this true of all their diecast products? It appears as though 1 Badd Ride takes a less radical approach to their images' alterations than the Original Muscle Machines took, of course, but the cars are far from stock looking (discounting the flames, blown engines, etc.). Am I correct about this?

Never bought any 1BR but I think you're correct. MM were just flat cool to me. 1BR seemed lame. Maybe because they were not stock but not radical enough.

1 Badd Ride will always be special to me - it was the only diecast company to produce a nice quality Ford Shelby GR-1 in 1:64ish scale

You are certainly right about the Ford Shelby GR-1 . All of your models are excellent looking! I should have picked up their 1/24 scale model when I saw it a while back.

I agree with you on the Shelby! I love that one!!!

nah don't care enough about them (i like the subject matter though) to buy them.
