Two of Creative Masters' 1/20 line. Back in the day, these '66 Shelbys were cutting edge replicas.

At one time I had every Creative Masters 1:20th model they made, including several variations of the Camaro that was so rare and exciting. I got to be close friends with Revell's senior VP of Manufacturing, Roger Harney. He sent me many of their car replicas for review. And you may recall, Rich, as I'm sure many other old-time-D4C'ers might, that I sold Roger's entire Creative Masters collection on our auction for him. It fetched a tidy sum but he later told me how much he missed those cars.
He was a terrific man. He passed in 2014: https://www.chicagotribune.com/ct-xpm-2014-02-19-ct-robert-harney-obituary-met-20140219-story.html

@perrone1 Yes sir, there were more than a couple of "Holy Grails" in that line up. Up until Exoto, there was only Creative Masters that offered precision models of the GT40 Mklls and the 427 Cobra SC and their Camaros are still among the best replicas available. It looks like their two Yenko Camaros were CM's swan song.
