My "one that got away" story -  saw a real AAR in a junkyard back in the `80`s that was white with blue interior, not 100% sure if it came factory that way as I don`t remember if it had a fender tag but still kicking myself for not somehow not figuring out a way to buy it. Now my only option is to find the diecast of it.  :'(

I don't know if you are still looking for this car but I recently joined and have one - brand new and in the box - never removed from the box.  Still interested?

Speaking of diecast cars I'm looking for the 71 Cuda Winchester Grey one.

I have a Winchester Grey 1971 with a black shaker and dog dish hub caps.  Highway 61 #50653, brand new, still in the unopened clam shell box.  Interested? Let me know.

Will do.  I made him a very reasonable offer and if he does not accept, I will honor you as the second.  I have about 83 Highway 61 'Cudas and Challengers that I will be selling on eBay but if any members here are looking for a specific car, I'd rather sell to a forum member at a fair price.  Of course some are more rare and are high dollar cars like the original Vanishing Point Challenger.  Highway 61 also sent out just 12 of the original Vanishing Point cars to another company that removed the 440 motor and badging, then installed a 426 hemi and rebadged the car as a hemi.  The car came in a desert scene diorama style box. I also have one of those and it's not cheap.

Yes, I have that one too.  It's actually gun metal grey with the R/T stripes, T/A hood and a 440 motor.

Big thanks to Bill @mrwfp (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/mrwfp_4913) for selling my this Cuda that I have been looking for for years. It will look real nice next to the other 115 1/18 Cuda die-casts I have. Now to hunt for the next one!

I am glad that you like it!  I enjoyed having it in my collection for years and now someone else gets to share in that enjoyment.  Thank you for the opportunity to pass it on.

Once you get the die cast car, you can replicate the Barrett Jackson commercial by keeping it on your desk until your wife finally gets the hint and buys you one!

Post by: 1 Wild R/T on August 13, 2019, 09:28:47 PM
Well apparently some of you know about these cars.... I have a few that have been given to me through the years...  I'm more into the 1-1 scale stuff so I haven't got much knowledge about these... But I was given one years ago that is kinda odd, my buddy was shipped a number of cars from a vendor & since he is a Porsche guy die cast Dodges get given to Dodge owners... So I got this.... It was never painted, the stripes are applied to bare metal.....  Any Idea why?

Some Die cast are produced in Zamac usually limited #s , they are bare aluminum

@mrwfp (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/mrwfp_4913) Are there any 72-74 Challenger die cast models? I've been looking but can't find them. Also would be interested in a black 68 Charger.
Title: Re: AAR diecast wanted
Post by: mrwfp on August 14, 2019, 06:08:52 AM
They are out there.  Most of the 72-74 Challengers that I have seen are the smaller 1/64 scale.  There is a 1/43
scale black 1968 Charger (Bullitt car) for sale on Amazon right now.  Here's the link:

https://www.amazon.com/Greenlight-Collectibles-Hollywood-Bullitt-Charger/dp/B0106UTT00/ref=sr_1_36?crid=14QN4QBB82TZF&keywords=dodge+challenger+diecast+1+18&qid=1565788733&s=gateway&sprefix=dodge+challenger+diecast%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-36

If you do a Google or Bing search using "1968 black Charger diecast", you will find several cars for sale.  However, it may be harder to find some of these cars in the larger 1/18 scale.

The only 72-74 Cuda's I've seen are Motown missile types. I've never seen a 'factory' 72-74 in 1/18. The 68 charger is the same. I have a bullit one and a bengal charger.

I don't know. I think there is a blue 71 with a black vinyl roof out there.

That would be the 50686 car.  I do not have the vinyl roof version of that car.  I do have one of the 50686 cars that they sent to Backyard Conversions and had converted to a convertible.  That was a rather expensive car when it was released.

Only `71 `cuda models had fender gills

Post by: JH27N0B on August 31, 2019, 06:07:23 PM
Had me worried there for a minute.  At the Mopar Nats a few weeks ago, the official merchandise tent had some purple AAR models for sale that must have been leftover from a past Nats and I couldn't resist buying one.  Seeing this thread I was afraid my model had incorrect rocker gills.
Just checked, it's a Supercar collectibles model and has no gills.  Phew!

Post by: JS29 on September 01, 2019, 11:00:51 AM
@torredcuda (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/torredcuda_122) I was referring to the rocker panel moldings. 1970 'CUDA models have what is referred to as the fish gill moldings, the AAR models did not have them. I believe it had to do with the side exhaust heat. 1971 was the fender gills.  :alan2cents:

The AAR 'Cudas had no rocker moldings to cut down on the weight.  They were supposed to be race cars so weight reduction was important.  Like wise they had no chrome or metal fender moldings either.

303 Mopar - does your blue AAR have the correct 1970 front valence or the incorrect 1971 valence with the lower turn signals that the early release of these Highway 61 cars came with?
