Muscle Car collectors? Show off your Mopars!
Are there many Muscle Car collectors in 1/43? I'd love to see some pics of Mopar Muscle Cars. I know there aren't many high end 1/43 of Muscle Cars, but there are still some neat models available out there.
Got any? Thanks gents.

Very nice, Leon. Who makes them?

Mopars
Don't know, the baseplate says Daimler Chrysler '71 GTX, I thought they were Roadchamps but not sure. The '64 in the background is by Universal Hobbies. All are sub $10. cars and quite a bang for the buck.

They look great. The values are out there if you know where to look.

Those are beauties, Leon. Thanks for sharing them.
One of them is definitely a Road Champs and maybe both. Great value for the quality. I love those Mopars.

Mopars again
Both the GTXs are the same other than color so if one is a Roadchamps both are. I believe I found these locally in a big box home store several years ago. I've never seen them anywhere else.

Leon's Mopars
I have those Mopars, They are Road Signature's by Yatming and they are great models for the dollars.

They're mean, they're green, they're Mighty Mopars (pics)

1971 GTX by Hot Wheels. I always liked this one with it's jacked up rear end and mag wheels - so very, very typical early '70's high school parking lot!
(Hey, I knew Leon's were Yat Mings, Shel beat me to it.)

Matchbox never ceasus to amaze me!

Wow, thanks gents. You can smell the burning rubber in the air this morning!
I loved the Muscle Cars. Was always partial to those big, mean Plymouths and Dodges. I came close to owning a 1971 Dodge Charger once. I had my days of speed and glory. I never got too far, though. LOL.
Thanks for punching some adrenalin into this old man's blood this morning, Leon and Harvey. Great, great pics.

Now that's a great metaphoric word use, we have some clever writers here.

Unfortunatly, that was not intentional.

Those are excellent, Leon ! Great color schemes on the hot '71 Plymouths and I really like that '64 Fury lurking back there.

Another terrific collection of true American muscle there, Harvey. And, yep, the Power Wagon is pretty dang muscular, too. (and all that there is what I REALLY consider "green cars" ! )
