![]() The car for today is Johnny Lightning's '82 Chevy Camaro. ![]()
![]() ![]() This was from a Dragsters USA Collectors Edition box set I bought at a toy show several years ago for the right price, think it was like $10 for 10 JLs. The casting dates to 1995 and is quite crude by today's standards. Here on day nine of COTD, I was running out of options and saw this one still sitting the original box unopened. It looked too cool not to showcase for my last day. Besides, it'a a Chevy for James.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

I've never bothered to pick this one up despite having numerous opportunities over the years. Just not a casting I think is particularly accurate unfortunately... |

Thanks for the effort Crafty, and the option of a Chevy to vote for, but I agree with Swifty, just not a very good replica of a camaro, either that of the crew that set ip up for the track changed a lot of teh sheet metal on her. Would I leave it on te pegs certainly not for 10 for 10$, for $4.92 I would be thinking long and hard about whether it was worth it. That being said some time when all taht is left is that one, i would buy it because after all that is said it is still a Camaro. |

Bet you're secretly wondering if you could get a Mulligan on this one, eh, Zach?

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Believe it or not, I might have bought it for the scheme. You know I like cop cars, and even though this really isn't a police car, many depts., have a race sponsored car like this, and this one looks reasonably believable. Okay Zach, not too bad a choice, but I'll give it 200:1 odds it'll make car of the week. |
