This is a custom, but I'd imagine it would look close.

Not a fan of Citron yella color , but thats a cool custom . Wish I could replicate decals for emblems & stripes ....

Will it have the road runner logo? If it doesn't it is not worth getting it. It would be another gtx.

Ive been told that Warner Bros. wants too much $$$ for the rights to the bird logo . So you probably wont see that logo , just the Road Runner name .

That all black Cuda is excellent, lm416.

Here's a custom I found awhile back, pretty damn sweet.

The 68 is made by MTR www.diecastmuscle.com

The 69 is a Supercar release.

MTR will be selling both releases.. how do you choose between these two..? main difference I see is cost and quantity produced..they look alike as I can tell.. the 68 will probably have the high gloss hood paint as well..

Diecast Muscle has the same '68 Dart, like Midtown said, but it's made by Highway61 specifically for Diecast Muscle and it's going to be limited to 504. It's due out Febraury and it has all sorts of extras on it!

I really like the detailing on Highway61 stuff, so I put a pre-order in for this one.

Check it out!

Thanks Streetfreak...

Do you have any info on the extras the 68 Dart (Diecastmuscle version) will have over the 69 Hwy61 Supercars version..? Both cars are made by Hwy61 right..? appreciate the input... :thumbsup:

I had asked Mike about the 2 versions (at Diecastmuscle) and didn't get an answer on it....."I gots to know...?!! well punk do you feel lucky..? did I fire all 6 shots..?" (Eastwood....Dirty Harry)

Bugzy...

I don't think that Supercars and Highway61 are the same...but maybe I'm wrong. I do know that the item extras stated on the Diecast Muscle site for this car, are ones that Highway61 does on all their diecast. I already have a couple Highway61 pieces and they are all very nicely detailed (Barracuda -Hemi Undr Glass, and a Custom Studebaker)!

Here is what Diecast Muscle states about the detail on this '68 Dart.

The sample car does not have the rear bumper nor the door handles attached.
The front clip on the sample is matte, but the finished producted will be glossy
Features include real style hinges on the opening doors, hoods, trunk, console & glove box.
folding & moveable seats, flip down sun visors, carpeting and seat belts.
Wired & plumbed engine
Chassis has working suspension, rotating driveshaft, and brake lines.

Hope this helps!

Thanks...
The lack of back bumper and doorhandles through me a bit...! ..guessed it was coming with it on...(prototype). I think both are made by Hwy61 though.. great looking car...! and have you seen the black 70 Dodge Challenger now available...by Hwy61...? think I'll buy that one as well...

Also they are not sure if the front end of that Dart will be primer'd or not. I kinda like the primer'd front end...but oh well!

AWSUME on the Challenger! I'll have to wait cause I have a Lane Camaro that I'm also waiting for. You'll have to show pics once you get that Challenger!:thumbsup:

DUDE...You got to show some pics of that '69 Z-28 when it arrives...okay?
I've never seen anything done by Revell Creative Masters.

That Yellow '67 "Orange Crush" you mentioned is the one that I have back ordered!
