Yeah the 1:18 are cool. I've got probably over 200 of them. Probably 30 to 40 are E-bodies (including both the clean and dirty versions of the Vanishing Point car). All but probably a couple dozen are Mopars!!! Those others are mostly race cars, a couple of old Hearses ('39 Caddy and '14 Model T), some Cobras, a Bugatti, a 240 Z ( I have a '72 with a 2.8/5spd rotting away in my driveway)some TV cars (Monkee Mobile, Munster Coach, Munsters Dragula) and some others I can't think of offhand. I've got a couple of pictures around here somewhere in an old thead.
Problem is they are getting really $$$ nowadays and the number of companies making them has really decreased in the last few years. The talk on the diecast board I'm on is whether the hobby will even be around as we know it in the future. With the economy tanking quite a few have gotten out of the hobby and sold off their cars.

Snap!! I have the Munsters cars, Monkeemobile also, just love the 60's tv and film cars, they etched a fantastic image in my tiny brain as a lil kid :D
I got a couple of wall cabinets filled with 1/18 cars, one just Mustangs, another mostly GM muscle :oops:
Got some lovely Exoto Corvette historic racers, some real nice NASCAR Mopars too, 'Birds, Charger500's etc.
I'm gonna get some pix up this week but here's a couple of cabinets to start with..........

The Munsters Koach was on display in a motor museum in the Lake District for years. Since been sold as a collection to the London motor museum I think? Wicked car in the flesh, Gothic doesn't even come close to describing it, got a small block Ford in it :mrgreen:

Couple of my 1/18 favourites, three lovely Standox custom painted Exoto Corvette GranSports and two Carousel Stingray L88 racecars, one a development car and the other a Can Am car.
And another Exoto Gran Sport thrown in for good measure :mrgreen:
I love the quality of these models, the details are incredible, this iPhone can't even come close to showing that.
Also a 1/43 scratch built white metal one off Challenger T/A in actual Panther Pink, exceptionally rare.....

i'm only missing one of the Petty wing cars in the NASCAR wing car series. Think I have nine of them altogether (at work now so I can't count them)
The Munster Coach was rereleased a couple of years ago also.
I'll try and get some photos up this weekend of some of mine.

Is there a really nice VP replica Challenger in 1/18 scale out there?
Be nice to add one to my collection but I'd like something authentic and accurate.
I got an AutoArt Bullit rep Stang which is lovely :mrgreen:
