American Muscle Diecast Cars

The 1963 Corvette Sting Ray Coupe has become one of the most iconic body styles ever with its distinctive split rear window. Bill Mitchell envisioned an uninterrupted center ridge that swept the full length of the car, beginning at the center hood bulge. Extremely controversial, it was removed for the 1964 model year due to visibility and safety concerns. Another unique design feature is the complete removal of the trunk from the previous model year. In fact, no Corvette would have a trunk again until the 1998 model year! Chevy built a total of 21,315 units of the 1963 Corvette. Just under half of those were coupes, the remaining were convertibles.

Auto World has replicated this beautiful coupe in factory-matched Saddle Tan paint with a light brown and tan interior. Under the hood is the highly-detailed 327ci V8 engine.

Located 29 hours away from his Florida home, Joe Szczepaniak found this car for sale online at Moparts.com. For several months, it was listed for sale, having been passed up by multiple interested buyers because of its extensive damage and the enormous task of restoration. The damage was especially tricky around the back window, being described as “unrepairable”, by others.

“It will never be a show car, but it will make a nice driver." That’s what the owner said, but Joe had other plans. Exceptionally rare, only 394 were painted FJ5 Sublime from the factory in 1970. Further investigation revealed that this was the ONLY factory-painted FJ5 Sublime Dodge Charger with a luggage rack, white top and interior. The 1970 body style was Joe’s favorite, and he was determined to turn this diamond-in-the-rough into a head-turner. So, he sold his 1970 ‘Cuda 440-6 to fund his newfound restoration project, and bought a Dodge conversion van and trailer to bring it home. 13 years later, with the help of some of the best craftsman, professionals, and historians in the Mopar business, Joe Szczepaniak finally realized his dream of restoring this incredible 1970 Dodge Charger R/T into a show car.

For 1969 and 1970, only a small percentage of the Mercury Cougar production were reserved for Eliminator models. 2,411 were built for 1969, and 2,200 for 1970. Dave Wyrwas, owner of the online Mercury Cougar Eliminator Registry, understands the importance of keeping historical records of these rare and important muscle cars. You can visit the registry at eliminator.mercurycougarregistry.com. Dave is also an avid collector of Ford muscle cars and a repeat attendee of the MCACN, showing a few of his prized cars.

On display at the 2019 MCACN was this beautiful Competition Blue 1970 Cougar Eliminator with black stripes and hood scoop. This example was also built with the legendary Boss 302 V8 engine­—one of only 469 for 1970. Incredibly, the car Dave Wyrwas displayed was an unrestored original. In October of 2017, it was also featured in-depth for Hot Rod Magazine. Auto World is proud to replicate this historical survivor!

Since the 1970 model year of the Camaro was introduced in February of that year, not surprisingly, the 1971 model year only received minor changes. In fact, it was voted one of the ten best cars in the world by Road & Track Magazine in 1971! Sales were holding fairly steady at 103,452 units, with a total of 8,377 units produced with SS trim. Recently on display at Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals was this beautiful 1971 Chevy Camaro RS/SS. It featured the first-year-available Tuxedo Black paint, 350ci L48 engine producing 270hp, and also the M20 4-speed wide-ratio Muncie transmission. Only 6,844 Camaros were fitted with the L48 engine in 1971. Decoding the VIN, we also know this car was built at the Norwood, Ohio assembly plant and has the sequential vehicle serial number of #544701!

In keeping with his eye on performance, Ford’s then-president Bunkie Knudsen took delivery of the fifth 1969 Mustang Boss 429 off the assembly line as his personal pony car. Featuring a rare color combination of black with gold stripes, this striking example was one of seven prototype Boss 429s created by Kar-Kraft for Ford Motor Company. Number 1205 appears to have been built for one purpose: to appease the boss. The Mustang also featured a prominent gold hood with scoop, matching deck lid, rear slats, custom Boss 429 C-stripes, and a gold accent tail panel. Inside, it sported a rolled and pleated saddle brown interior, a four-speed transmission, and air conditioning. The Mustang didn’t last long in Knudsen’s ownership. His tenure at Ford ended in 1969 and the car was sold. It exchanged hands several times before disappearing into history. Auto World is proud to bring back the automotive legacy in 1:18 scale. With its unusual 429 powerplant and unique color scheme, you can own this piece of muscle car history!

The 1963 Corvette® Sting Ray has become one of the most iconic body styles ever with its distinctive split rear window. Bill Mitchell envisioned an uninterrupted center ridge that swept the full length of the car, beginning at the center hood bulge.
