requesting opinion on 1970s chevelle have my eye on some chevelles from Autoworld, ACME and GMP - was just wondering which one is the best if i were to get one - in terms of price, details/features , etc.
Seems like GMP's 1970 chevelle "restomod" dark green with one big white stripe in the middle is winning right now - but what do you all think ?

1970 Chevelles
The GMP and ACME Chevelle use the Lane mold and the Auto World uses the updated Ertl mold. I think the lane has more detail but the Auto World is cheaper.

I agree with Gary. My experience with them leads me to believe that...
... The Lane model, specifically, is the best of the entire bunch. The GMP/ACME models do use the Lane mold, but the Lane model has definitely struck me as being of better quality. They're rarer, of course, because they're no longer in production (by Lane/Exact Detail), and as a result, you'd end up having to pay more for one (probably), but if you "have to have the best," you might want to consider going in that direction.
If not, though, the GMP/ACME model is definitely a good second choice!
