Does anyone know if this Die-Cast was made from a real 1970 Charger R/T in this color combo? For years I have been looking for a photo of one with a Blue Bumblebee stripe with no success.

They don't bark but they yodel/chortle and making murder victim screaming noises when they are left alone and bored. Had neighbors call the police several times for "domestics" at our house when we had one in Florida.

Very ancient breed that goes back several thousand years, Can never be left off a leash outside, as they are extreme sight hounds and will bolt for any small critter movement a half mile away. Lots are lost to automobiles when they try to run across a road.


Will they kill ground hogs ? :hmmm:

Well, sorta, maybe? :hmmm: Grille treatment and rocker moldings are U.S. style. Quarter emblems and flat hood suggest Canadian.

Also, wheel covers are '67 style.

The "Mag" wheel covers were available from the dealership in 1966 for the Corvair. Any reason why they wouldn't be available for the Chevelle/Malibu?

They were available for pretty much any Chevy, N96 option. The '65-'66 mag styles were different from '67-up. If you don't know the differences then you probably wouldn't pick up on it. I had to learn from somebody that knew. The '65-'66 had what appears to be a center cap with the bowtie in it. The 5 webbed spokes end just below the "cap". The later years '67-up, the webbing went right to the top, no virtual "cap". The 15" versions had an extra step in the trim ring part of the wheel cover. I don't know for sure what year they started offering the 15" version. Also some of the later versions had the spokes painted black. I should dig some out and take pictures.

Excellent description!!
There are other differences but these pix show the how to tell the difference at a glance. '67 on top, '66 on bottom. Also note the difference in the size of the cooling slots.

Looks like what came on our 67' Chevelle SS 396 ...

Yes, the slots are different too! Thanks, I forgot to mention that. Corvair 13" has the smallest slots and the "cap" is a little lower and thinner around the edges.
