Good - but somehow less good than previous M2s? Or is it just me? It just looks a bit...off...? Edited by diecastdingo, Sep 18 2009, 06:25 AM.

Gonna start crying right now, If there is one car that I really want in a 1:1 it is a mid 60's Chevy II or a Pontiac Acadian. Even this chiffon yellow color is beginning to grow on me. Thanks for the CotD, it is one M2 I must find. |

James, I'm not sold on M2 catings yet. I need to see a few of them up close for a better look. I wasn't impressed with the plastic versions that you can still find in large quantiities in Walmart stores in my area. I would prefer to be able to find Greenlight castings on a regular basis at the local level. With the Greenlight castings, I know what I am getting and I have somewhere between 40 and 60 of them in my collection now. Cheers. Cobra |

Swifty sent me a few metal bodied M2's, and I am impressed, although the multitude of opening parts can lead to bad lines, but that is the opening part nightmare isn't it, Johnny doesn'r exactly get it right some time, hoods that won't close or close crooked. M2's are well detailed, and have nice paint finishes, there have been some poor quality issues but the ones I was sent all are very nice. I bought a set of the plastic bodied ones just to have them, and to have some custom bait.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
I like it. I'll need to see one and look it over based on DCDingo's comments, but it looks better than anyone else's so far, IMO. A light tan Nova, chuckle.....in ancient history I recall a fellow driving one who wanted to race me off an intersection....

I had a dark blue metallic '65 Goat then with the factory 310 (ha ha) HP and Hurst shifter setup. I would make the "look" that I was thinking about the challenge, but would let guys tear up the street (and their tranny) from the light, while I'd just do a normal start. I DO remember saying to myself, "How dare this guy want to race me with a Nova!! " I didn't have to prove anything, but who knows what may have been under his hood, but probably was a 283. Sorry James, no race. |

At least you didn't embarrass the car, just the driver |
