IMO, one of the best 1/43 ever done. Yes indeed, it pays to "get in early" on some 1/43 issues (sage advice for some replicas in other scales too! )

You're dayum right Chris. You think I'd have learned my lesson over the last 3 decades. With all the models I sold at Long Beach and at Pomona I had my pick of every single one and I only thought about what I wanted in my own collection and not what I thought might make me money in the future. But then again who thinks that models are going to be worth anything more in the future.

Chris, do you agree or am I messed up ? That's a '68. My mom had one in yellow and in '69 the body got wider and rounder and there was a horizontal bar through the grill.

I just checked DiecastDirect. There are still a few available, if anyone is interested.

"Chris, do you agree or am I messed up? That's a '68."
Steve, it's actually a 1971. LoL! 😀 😀 😀
No, you're not messed up; John simply put the wrong year on his YT video. Both of us are poor proof-readers; we often post "mistakes." 🙄
Here's GV's '68 with a 1:1 '68 & '69:

@chris, my bad, all around. That's what happens when I try to do a ton of videos before leaving on vacation!

What a beautiful car and Goldvarg replica of it ! It looks superb in all colors released so far and those details shown in your video review really are astonishing.

@ed-davis, we enjoy taking a cruise every now and then. We're headed to the Caribbean. But the ports are not important to us. We seldom get off the ship. We choose our ships carefully and enjoy being on them for most of the cruise. They are huge, roomy, have a lot to do, and our room and food are already paid for once we board.
