This is the final casting for my week. I'd like to take the time to say a special thank you to those of you who participated in the CotD topics this past week. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed picking them out of my collection. This weeks voting should be interesting!

Great looking Falcon Dennis. It's the thunder from down under!
Voting will not be easy this week with so many excellent castings particulary with all of the muscle cars regardless of state of origin. Let's give Swifty some credit too for taking all of the pics early one morning as well. Zach |

I like it. It looks larger than 1:64 - so hard to tell with photos. |

Nothing good ever happens after midnight.

This is about the same size, maybe a touch smaller, than the US-spec Gran Torino/LTD II. And without all that pesky emissions nonsense to boot. Catalytic converters weren't required on Australian domestic cars until 1985, I believe. So there was no way Aussie cars back then would have been allowed to be sold here. |
