Most of my diecasts are still in storage at this point, but I came across some really quick phone camera shots of this 1/64 Greenlight diecast replica that I have next to me. There is also a rather out-of-focus snap of the V-8 engine under the model's hood.
It is a really nicely done 1971 AMC Javelin that has raised white letter tires and the opening hood. I believe this model was done in several colors by Greenlight and all look great.
P.S. My replica has a slight bent right front windshield pillar that needs straightening.

Mike, I have this model in a grape color with white nose graphic.

Several years ago Greenlight had a special club for collectors, called the Under The Hood club. They offered some models in special colors with special packaging. Here are some photos of my 1971 Javelin AMX.

@bob-jackman I have the '71 Javelin (1/64) as you Bob and another in dark gray metallic; but the purple color is best.

"My replica has a slightly bent A-pillar that needs straightening."
Good luck with that.... diecast can be quite brittle and quite unforgiving. 😬 😬

@ed-davis A really nice Greenlight presentation Ed - you've shown this one before; I like it a lot! AMC chose such goofy way to offer a vinyl top option, but somehow it worked - it did look pretty cool! 😎 😎
I do believe that had Javelins survived the decade, AMC would've offered T-tops. ....even cooler! 😎 😎

"You have a good memory."
Actually, I get that all the time. The ONLY one who sometimes disputes that is my wife. 🤐 🙄 "4 years ago?" Seems like yesterday to me! 😬

@chris I get that from my missus too Chris. My standard response is that I have an excellent memory for things that are important. From this I have also learned that honesty is admirable but not always the wisest choice.

RIGHT! That's a mistake you make once! 😬 😬 😬 😬

There's not too many replicas out there in any scale of AMC's Javelin !

@paul-rouffa HA! You got me Paul! Without looking at the "author," I assumed Mike posted pics of his fix. Only after I hit "reply" - and your name came up - did I realize your wee bit of trickery. 😀 😀
At any rate, I wish the same success for Mike if/when he attempts this repair. AS WE ALL know.... sometimes the easiest thing to do.... aint! 😫 😮 ☹️
