Ok,I was at Wal-Mart today, and I bought the brand-new JL card 69'Chevrolet Camaro Conv., and I was just on the actual website, and it said the release date is January 07'. Please tell me, this is a prototype, or is the site just wrong? My cast number also isn't 265,its 292. The site said that the casting number is 265.

Is that the Retro Camaro? If it is, I heard of people finding them already. I don't think you have a Protoype.

I saw that one and the Eldorado convertible there on Saturday. I left both 'cause I don't collect either casting (Ford lover).

I haven't fromed an opinion on the new packaging yet though. Looks to me like they're gonna require more space to store if you're not an opener. Just my opinion though.

 

[Blingy]

Yeah,I keep in in the package fresh. My bins are starting to fill up to!

Hmmmm......jlcollector.com has cast #292 listed for the '61-'62 Ford Thunderbird....And, as you pointed out, #265 is the '69 Camaro vert. Does the base actually have 292 stamped on it? :freak:

BTW folks, ain't it great to be talking about new Johnnies??

 

[Blingy]

Yeh,It actually has 295# stamped on the base. Stange ain't it?!

 

[DadsCoronet]

Yeh,It actually has 295# stamped on the base. Stange ain't it?!

.....so it's a '58 - '60 Thunderbird??? :freak:

All,

My sample of the Johnny Retro 1969 Camaro Convertible has the number 265 cast into the chassis on the passenger side in the back.

JLCollector.com is correct. Casting #292 is a Thunderbird.

My production sample also has the number 292 tampo-printed in black on the chassis, approximately underneath the passenger seat. This isn't the casting number. It's a number the factory uses for record keeping. The complete number on my car is 292 6 DO 01.

Is that what you're seeing?

Mac
