I've been after the HHR for ages but could never find one for a reasonable price on ebay (most went for $8-10!).

Support your local demo derby.

The OLDs Cutlass and the AMC look like winning castings. That AMC castings is one of my favorite JL castings. Wish they'd put it in more releases.. I remeber seeing the HHR is KB toys several years ago on sale for $2 but never bought any. Congrats on your finds. :wave:

Nice selection of JLs! My favorite has to be the AMX.

I find it ironic that the HHR is that hard to find now- when it came out they were awful pegwarmers (especially the silver one), to the point of JL not releasing that casting again since. I haven't seen one on the pegs in quite awhile though, now that I think about it.

The AMX is one of my faves as well but going back to what we have said about the scaling problem that JL has, this AMX is actually bigger than JL's Javelin SS. The AMX as I understand is a shortened version of the Javelin.

The HHR is probably my least favorite of the Bowtie castings, it sits in an out of the way place on my JLShelf. Its hard to believe I traded away a Camaro before I would tarade away this pegwarmer.

This is correct- the AMX is a two seater and much of what was behind the front seats of the Javelin (you know, like rear seats ;)) was chopped out of the AMX.
