Well, I'm a closet Mopar fan. I have never owned one but that might change in the future. As for the winged cars, I love them. I try to pick them up whenever possible. Heres my collection of the JL ones.

These are Ertl 1/64 Musclecar series examples.

IMHO are the best of all the 69 Daytona 1/64's, even the deck lid opens, when closed you would be hard pressed to even realize it opens it fits so nice! The fit, finish & proportioning is excellent, separate trim mouldings, detailed trim including side markers, Chassis detail including correct separate exhaust with correct exhaust tips.
Redline tires with what represent a dog dish hubcap(incorrect for 69 as it has a red stripe on the cap which would be for a 1970 model year Dodge). Interiors are very accurate including the compound curved 4 speed console hurst shifter! While none of the castings are losers, the Ertl issue ranks at the top. :02:

The Ertl American Muscle remains my pick of the litter too. The cereal promo is awesome! Never seen that one before!

On a side note, who drove that #3 K-Mart stocker?

Day late and a dollar short, nothing left for me to add! I think the only ones I know of that are not included here are the Speed Rebels, and they are pretty much smaller versions of the earliest JLs with the same size speed wheels.

Great thread, and my gratitude to all who contributed. Some things I knew, but I learned a lot too. And that cereal promo is off the chart!

(When it comes to the 'bird though...the roadrunner in the circle at the base of the wing really makes a big difference between what is, and is not, accurate as far as outside trim...Plymouth scored big putting that there)
