Support your local demo derby.

For the $1 price point, it's hard to quibble too much on this one.

I like everything about it except the Gold wheels. I guess I'm just a old school die hard and like Chrome wheels best.

I agree z28 them gold wheels clash with the color. Other than that real nice. Seen a few variations of this Wal Mart had the same in red.

I like this casting a lot, but I like the real car a lot too. My favorite Chevelle without question.

Having said that, this is not one of my favorite releases of this casting. The green is OK, even good. But the white tampos on the sides are too busy...it's just too much. I don't have issues with the wheels, the gold color goes very well with this shade of green, and at least the interior is grey (not chrome) and the windshield is clear (not red, or yellow, or green, or some other semi-transparent yuckiness). Overall, for a buck, it's a good deal. But I would have to take a q-tip and some npr to the excess side tampos. That's just my opinion.

@ the Challenger: You did an excellent job with your review, please don't take my critique personally. You did invite comment, I merely expressed my opinion.

I look forward to seeing more reviews in the future!

Agree Fredtowyou - Its a pretty good casting, But the only thing i Didn't like its that the rear wheel is bigger than the front - It will be cool that they be of the same size :)

Thanks for comment :D

Nice review. I don't mind the gold wheels, with this color. The overall appearance works for me.
