You should utilize the Lists and Reviews site here....
the pictures and reviews are quite informative.

Actually, I find the questions refreshing. At least they're generating conversations.

Depends on what year you're asking about as several have been represented.

In 1:18th scale I prefer the GMP 1970 Chevelles. the Ertl versions are old and not as detailed.
If you want to look at older ones, the Autoworld 1966-67 Chevelles are very nice too. And I think they make a '69 as well?
none of them as are nice as the 1:24th scale 1970 from Franklin Mint though.

I like the very detailed Ertl Authentic series 1966 Chevelles (now by AutoWorld)

I wasn't trying to stifle discourse........
it's just that there's a wealth of info to research... especially with the photography and all.

Chevelles
Don't overlook the Lane/Exact Detail 1970 Chevelles. I have the cranberry convertible.I am very pleased with it.

Please pardon my clumsily stated remark. I should have included I'm sure you were not. My...
... comment should have been clearly understood AND communicated so that it would leave no doubt.

I think those are the same as the GMP? Not sure. maybe some one else is more informed?

the recentlly released GMP/ACME Chevelles do use the old Lane/ED mold.

thanks for all your replies hey guys, thank you for all your replies- I've decided to get an Aztec bronze 1966 chevelle from ertl authentics - checked last night at my local hobby shop - they didn't have one but a similar marina blue one that they did have - had an asking price of $250 - price-wise - what is a fair price ?
07/10/2015 6:51 am
Wow.. $250? What city do you live in and how much is shipping?
07/10/2015 6:52 am
Is that color a limited run?

$250!! You should check out the $21.50 (current bid) Aztec bronze '66 Chevelle SS (no box) on the big auction site whose name I don't know if I can post. It does need a cleaning but it appears complete and authentic. If so, its one of the 612 Limited Edition Aztec bronze Chevelles SSs sold exclusively by Supercar Collectibles. I've got 2 of them NIB in my collection, but if I didn't I grab this one in a heartbeat!
And $250 for a Marina blue '66 SS??
If its Marina blue with dog dish hubcaps, a blue interior and no vinyl roof its 1 of 1085 Authentics' LE (Limited Edition) (ERTL 39494 e39494).
If its Marina blue with a blue interior and a black vinyl roof its an Authentics Chase car, 1 of 217 (ERTL 39494 e39494ch).
If its Marina blue with full Rally type wheels or wheel covers, no vinyl roof and a black interior its an Authentics LE, 1 of 504 sold exclusive3ly by Supercars (ERTL 29662 e29662).
A fair price? Personally I'd go bid for the Aztec bronze SS. Other than that I wouldn't go over $150 for any of the Marina blue versions and I'd start with a $65-$75 offer. A Chase car seller may ask a higher price but then you're paying for # exclusivity, not quality or options in demand. Good luck and let us know what you got.
