"Grumpy" Bill Jenkins' '65 Belvedere "Black Arrow"still looks like something you could build in your garage provided you could get your hands on the stripped down factory equipped 426 Hemi 2 door poster. It's not as wild looking as the AWB versions but I always loved the look of this one year design. I owned a Satellite of that near and still miss it after all these years. H-61 did a great job on all their Mopars.

I agree 100% Rich. HW61 had some terrific manufacturing engineers and tool & die guys. The fit and finish of these Mopars is very well crafted. They tried their best to reproduce "everything" in the most efficient way. Difficult to imagine now, despite being only a "few" years ago, that these retailed for less than $60. Oh, how I miss those days!

This one looks very good ! A have H61's standard stock one in white and it's a fine diecast model.

Thank you, Rich ! I hope to improve and get better. Diecast cars, even after a set back, are good therapy !
