72 Cuda diecast

Just picked this up at Carlisle. The attention to detail is getting pretty amazing.

Is that a YCID model?  I've bought a couple of their 1:18 models and they are nice!
I also got one of their Mr Norms dealership models.
I have a pre order in on their upcoming FK5 Challenger convertible.  I hope those are ready soon!

That is incredibly detailed!
It looks great, but who is the manufacturer?

I am on YCID's mailing list and recalled seeing a black 72 cuda coming out, I just checked their site and they are doing a run of customized versions of that ACME model, by adding a sunroof.

They are also doing a yellow version that looks just like the one a formerly very active member of several boards had, GoodysGotaCuda or something like that.  His name is Mike, I wonder where he's been?

Those are fantastic  , beats back in the day when I would have to buy two Ertl cars to swap rims and custom paint it to get it even close.

It's probably a good time to buy any diecast E body models you've been thinking about, but putting off.  With Tariffs I expect prices will be taking a jump soon, as I'm pretty sure they're made in China.
I first started buying 1:18 diecast Mopars when Ertl started selling them a little over 30 years ago.  The amount of detail on them has increased a lot over the years with amazing engine compartments and opening trunks revealing them to be fully detailed with spares and jacks.  The Ertl ones from the 90s look like simple toys compared to the level of detail that we find on 1:18 models now!
