PICs - From My Collection: 1970 'Cuda

I meant to post this one yesterday for St. Patrick's Day. I was tired when I got home from work. Forgot.

1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda Convertible, Franklin Mint.
I have wanted to add this one for awhile, love the color. Unfortunately it is far from perfect. I got it for a good price, so I am still happy.

Thanks George. It has a couple of small issues. The boot doesn't fit properly.

and the front wheels are not quite right. I can probably fix both with a little work. The paint is perfect and the color is great.

Gotta love that color. The wheels look OK to me. I wonder...

If you turned that boot upside down and placed some weight (a book or tow) on it for a day or so, if it would flatten out some. It's a great looking model.

John, is this the Walmart edition? I was able to get the orange Boss 302 and the yellow Z28 from my local Walmart. I wanted to pick up this one, but it was damaged in the store. They were great buys for $59. Love the color!

Yes it is the Wal Mart edition. I didn't get it from them though.
