Diecast Chargers..

[Tooz 72]

Since i cant afford a real one, here are pics of my 1/18 scale Chargers...

[Ghoste]

Nice collection.  Funny how addicting the downsized ones are huh?  I have too many of them myself.

[Dino]

I would love one that looks like mine.  I don't think I've ever seen a white with black top charger though.

Nice collection. As mentioned I also have probably (60+) 1/18 scale mopars myself. About 25 or 30 of them are Chargers. It is addicting. My kids usually get some them for me for Father's Day, Birthday's & Christmas presents, so I will keep them forever. Yes, they are cheaper to buy them then the full sized version & much easier to store.

very nice. is that general lee the NEW improved version that just came out ? the new version removed a lot of things the original version had such as marker lights in the fenders, and the insulation pad under the hood etc.

Doc, if you can paint a real car, customizing a die cast is a cakewalk!

I think it's going to be my only option.  I didn't really want to do this as I have enough to do as it is but it sure would look nice on my desk!

[Tooz 72]

Yes that General Lee is the new Autoworld version and the detail is amazing !!   

i might win the lottery one day and buy a real Charger !!  ....well i can dream cant i !!

They are very nice indeed.  
FWIW, I walk by mine in gross mass volume and wish I had stayed focused on parts and (saving/spending for) the real ones.  I confess herein I walked the toy aisle for more than 20 yrs, "quiting" about 3-5yr ago with limited relaps.  My ten cents is stay focused on your real longer term HOBBY desires, which may be the diecast or ...... not.  The die-cast market resale has tanked and IMO will not come back, plan to own them or truly give them away.  They are nice to look at for sure, but hammering on the real thing is way more fun, just saying.   The only ones I still really do like in my rainbow redlines.

 Just in case anyone wants to add to their collection..., A few months ago AutoWorld announced they were bringing out a 69 bronze/tan vinyl roof RT/SE 4spd and it is available now. Just ordered one as an early Christmas present for myself.   I am a fan of the bronze with tan roof combo.

WOW the headlight doors even open, very nice !

[41husk]

I have a few.  My favorites are the three Big Willie Daytonas.  I have a smaller Blue duece, I think 1:32  I would love to have a bigger one.  No problem with indoor parking!

[nvrbdn]

love the diecast. i have a little collection. definately a nice detailed general.

[Tooz 72]

Im hoping to get the Autoworld version of the Bullitt Charger as well !!   

[Ghoste]

If it makes it to production the right way I'm still drooling oover the DMCL one they want to do.

[Tooz 72]

Im sure i could make room for one of those as well !! 

just need to see the movie now !!   

[RIDELIKEHELL]

I'm guilty  I have 30 plus Mopars ...wife thinks there dust collectors

[Ghoste]

95% of mine are still in the box. 

[Dino]

95% of mine are still in the box. 

That's okay, 95% of most people's real chargers are in boxes as well.   

[6pkrtse]

All of mine are still in the box except for two. I gave two of my Daytona's to my youngest Son to play with since I had duplicates of thise two colors. he eventually gave them back to me & asked me to take care of them for him with the rest of my collection when he was like 5. He is 11 now. I have a 1:24 scale Bullit Charger. I still need to find me one in the 1:18 scale.

[Tooz 72]

Here are some Chargers i did in the past...

Dude!  You're good.   

[model maker]

Dino, great dioramas you have there, very original. I like the half dukes charger. Ghoste, the DMCL charger is still on hold due to licensing. I have a feeling we won't be seeing this charger anytime soon.

[Ghoste]

I tend to agree with you Bert, it doesn't sound promising right now.

[JB400]

i guess you heard Warner is taking the flag off the General next year?

[model maker]

I have seen guys make one out of a model kit but they just don't look right. I don't thinkyou can find the right wheels for it. my charger had 15s on the rear & 14s on the front. I cannot remember the tire sizes after 30 plus years i remember the rear tires being huge though tall & wide.

[model maker]

yes i heard that from supercar. some PC crap, someone at warner must have recieved a promotion and is now in charge of that kind of stuff. the PC stuff is getting carried away.

[Tooz 72]

one of the diecast Chargers i have has been modified in the past and now has Starsky and Hutch Torino wheels on it, so  i think i will make that into a DMCL Charger !!

Not Mine, they're Tooz 72's.  I wish I did them though!

[Ghoste]

Actually Warner is saying that they never had any intention of removing the flag and that was internet myth.

[Tooz 72]

I think Crazy Cooter helped put a stop to that idea !!   

[Ghoste]

Yeah, I think there was something to it too, they're just trying to backpedal and since they never had a formal announcement or put it in print anywhere they can still look good.  But then again, opinions like this are exactly how internet myth gets started aren't they?

i sure hope it ain't true.  The darn lawyers need to stay out of the hobby unless they are willing to put more of our cars on the road.  Civil war is over, but we can still show respect to both sides.

95% of mine are still in the box. 

95% of mine aren't.

[Tooz 72]

That is still up in the air.  Some say they are going to remove it, others say it's going to stay.

[Brock Lee]

I would love to own that 71 car replica.

Interestingly, their poll 'Should the flag be removed from General Lee?', 9% yes, 91% no.

[F8-4life]

Years ago I used to have a big hot wheels collection. AS for diecast now, I basically got rid of everything except my green 1969 Charger redline and my 1968 deora
