Wow, what a beautiful diecast! I know this is a high-end diecast with the detail shown. What are these going for in $$? And I want one in a 1970 year built!!! :P

Wonder if they would offer a club discount?

Dave,
The 1970 1:18 El Camino by "American Muscle" model exists in at least three colors. I've got it in my collection in the color blue. I've also seen red and dark green. I've seen it at Toys 'R Us.

Thanks Elkyss,

Yes I also have that American Muscle '70 diecast. Have it in Silver/black stripes. Just stripped it down and ready to paint it white/black stripes like mine and add other wheels and tires to match mine. I also want to shave and trin back the front bumper to look more real.

I was just hoping the company that made the '65 might make a '70 with the same amount of extra detail. I have seen a few other '70's made and none of them has been able to get the correct front end down yet. The American Muscle version looks ok but has a huge bigger bulkier front bumper on it that sticks out like all the american cars had to due in 1974.
