American Muscle Diecast Cars

The Ford Mustang got a styling overhaul for 1971. It grew in length by 2 inches, bulked at the fenders by almost 3 inches, plus it gained almost 200 lbs from the previous 1970. One of the most distinct features of the new style was the long sweeping hood and the dual scoops of the optional NASA hood. The scoops were non- functional unless ordered with the Ram Air option.

This die-cast replicates the top-of-the-line Ram Air engine option—the 429 Cobra Jet 7.0L V8 cranking out 370 hp at 5400 rpm. Even further, buyers could choose a Drag Pack option that slightly increased performance and horsepower. This American Muscle replica is painted in brilliant Grabber Green Metallic paint contrasted by a blacked-out hood and stripes. This was a one-year-only color available from Ford, and a welcome addition to the American Muscle lineup!

All rise! Here comes the judge! The court of muscle cars is now in session! Following the complete redesign of the GTO in 1968, the 1969 model had minimal changes from the previous year including tail light tweaks and marker light revisions. A popular option introduced in 1969 was “The Judge”. It was named after a very popular Sammy Davis Jr. skit entitled “Here Comes the Judge” from TV’s Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In. The Judge was a slightly stripped-down version so it could compete with the Plymouth Road Runner. A total of 6,833 GTOs with the Judge option were made in 1969.

            This Auto World replica is painted in factory-matched  Goldenrod Yellow—which was only possible after Pontiac decided to allow new GTO orders in an array of colors besides Carousel Red. This replica also features a hood mounted tachometer, vinyl roof, and the Rally II wheels without trim rings. Under the functional dual hood scoops growls the powerful 400-4 Ram Air IV motor. The 1960s ads were correct...this Judge can be bought!

In 1925, Nickey opened and eventually became one of the largest automobile retailers and the largest Hi-Performance parts shop in the world. In the 60’s, they literally created the genre of what is now known as the Super Car by modifying and tuning vehicles for maximum performance and horsepower. All original, surviving Nickey-tuned vehicles are rare and often fetch a hefty price on the collector market. Today, the Super Car legacy continues with Nickey Performance based in Loves Park, IL. They’re bringing a whole new generation of Super Cars to the streets using the formula which Nickey pioneered decades ago.

            Auto World has replicated this 1966 Nickey Chevy Biscayne with the “Day 2” look, painted in rich Tuxedo Black. Complementing its formal attire is the deep red interior. Under the hood is the powerful 427ci engine mated to a 4-speed transmission.

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!

In 1970, contracting with Dan Gurney’s All American Racers (AAR), Plymouth began competing in SCCA Trans Am racing with two cars driven by Dan Gurney and Swede Savage. In order to compete, the rules state that at least 2500 street versions of the same car must be built by the manufacturer and made available to the public. So, 2724 units of the 1970 Plymouth AAR ’Cuda were built. Under the hood was a 340ci V8 with three dual-barrel Holley carbs, producing an underrated 290hp at 5000rpm. Upgrades included race-inspired suspension, forged crank and rods, larger brakes, and an aluminum intake manifold. The exterior featured a rear deck spoiler, blackout hood treatment, optional louvers, and a distinctive AAR crest with a 75-segment strobe stripe running the length of the car.

    Auto World has replicated this 1970 Plymouth AAR ‘Cuda in Blue Fire Metallic paint with color-matched bumpers. The AAR heritage lives on!

If you wanted the best high-performance Chevrolet money could buy in the late 1960s, you went to Yenko Chevrolet at 575 West Pike Street in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. Yenko Chevrolet was a dealership from 1949 to 1982 that gained a reputation for custom-built high-performance muscle cars.

In the mid 1970s, pickup trucks were utilitarian workhorses and not very exciting. This created a groundswell of local customizers modifying their trucks adding the cool-factor back into their daily hauler. Dodge wanted to get in on the action, too. In late 1976, Dodge introduced the Dodge Warlock in limited numbers. By 1977, it was in full production. The Warlock was available in four colors: red, green, black, and blue. The hood, fenders, and tailgate were clad in rich gold pinstriping. Even the interior received some tricked-out pinstriping. Other accessories included custom gold wheels, wide tires, and natural oak side boards extending off the sides of the bed. Aside from the cosmetic touches, the Warlock could have come with the standard slant-six, the 318 with either the 2bbl or 4bbl carb, the 360, the 400, or the 440. Auto World has replicated the mid-line 360 in this highly-detailed 1:18 scale die-cast!

Auto World is proud to produce this Dodge Warlock as a 1977 model for the first time ever.

This A12 Dodge Coronet Super Bee is 1-of-826 4-speed hardtops produced during the special run of cars in 1969. The car was produced towards the end of June 1969 at the Lynch Road assembly plant in Detroit, MI. Specs include its original numbers-matching drivetrain M-code 440 Six Pack engine, A-833 4-speed trans, 4.10 Dana Sure-Grip rear end, as well as the original broadcast sheet. The black interior features bucket seats with console and an AM/8-track radio. During restoration, this car was repainted in its original R4 bright red paint, but retains all of its original body panels.

The owner, John Spears, purchased this A12 in 2019 and was thrilled to be invited to show his car in the “A12 Reunion” section at the 2019 MCACN Show for the 50th anniversary celebration of these very special cars. As luck would have it, a longtime previous owner, and the one responsible for the complete restoration of the car was at the show! He recognized his old car immediately. The magic of the MCACN brought the former and new owners together once again to reminisce. Very cool!

The “Super Bee” name comes from the "B” body designation used for mid-sized cars from Chrysler. Interestingly, the Super Bee logo design was picked from a contest winner’s entry based on the Dodge "Scat Pack" medallion. The 1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee was a direct competitor to the Plymouth Road Runner. It was created as a budget muscle car with low cost and high performance. The 1971 model had a totally new body style, with ventless side windows, concealed windshield wipers, a split front-bumper design, a semi-fastback roof, power bulge hood (blacked out), V6X black sport stripes, and Bee decals. In 1971, it was available in four engine sizes— the 340, 383, 440, & the massive 426 HEMI. 1971 was the twilight for the true ground-pounding street machines since all their most powerful engines were dropped by Chrysler in 1972.

            Auto World has replicated this car in factory-matched FJ6 Green Go paint with a contrasting V1W white vinyl roof. Under the hood, this 1:18 replica comes with a 383 Magnum big-block V8 that cranked out 300hp. This high-quality Mopar is filled with intricate details you’ve come to expect from Auto World.

The Dodge Demon debuted in 1971 in response to the successful launch of the Plymouth Duster. The 2-door fastback had a 108 inch wheelbase, and was available in 2 trim styles, including the base model and the performance-minded Dodge Demon 340 powered by a 340 small block V8 rated at 275hp with an optional blacked-out hood with dual scoops, and rear spoiler. A 4-speed manual transmission rounded out the options for the Dodge Demon 340. The true connoisseurs of Demon performance bought a Dodge Demon GSS (Grand Spaulding Special) from the famous Mr. Norm’s Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago. Norm Krause’s dealership became THE source for Mopar muscle, eventually becoming the world’s largest-volume Dodge dealership. He tailor-built, and dyno-tuned high-performance Mopar muscle on-site that customers could buy directly off the lot.

            For the first time, Auto World has replicated this 1971 Dodge Demon GSS with the proper Tri-power setup and correct Mr. Norm’s badging! It’s a welcome addition to the Auto World lineup.

The 1961 model year was quickly recognized as the best-built Corvette yet. There were several newly-standard features introduced, which include courtesy lights, windshield washers, a temperature-controlled radiator fan, sun shades, and parking brake warning lights. Improving the cooling capabilities and reducing its overall weight, the 1961 Chevrolet Corvette was the the first to introduce aluminum radiators as standard equipment. However, due to production delays, some models were still built with copper radiators. As the Corvette continued to evolve, so did the standard features that came with it. In a departure from the previous year, the exhaust was rerouted to exit under the rear tires, preventing the rear bumper from getting dirty. Also changed for 1961 was the addition of quad tail lights, a tradition that continues over 60 years later.

American Muscle is proud to replicate this classic 1961 Chevy Corvette finished in Honduras Maroon with an Ermine White cove. Inside, the interior is highly-detailed in classic Fawn Beige and Silver.

The Catalina moniker first appeared on the 1950 Chieftain Eight and DeLuxe Eight models. It wasn’t until 1959 that it became a standalone mark for “entry-level” full-size Pontiac vehicles. By 1961, the Catalina was restyled and redesigned, including an all-new Torque-Box perimeter frame that replaced the “X” frame chassis used since 1958. Roof lines were more squared, panels were flatter, and the split front grill made its return. Engine options for 1961 included several variations of the 389ci V8. Standard was the 2bbl 3-speed making 215hp, or 267hp with the optional Hydramatic, or a 230hp “economy” automatic. Entering performance territory was the 389ci 4bbl with 333hp, or also a 348hp Tri-Power option with higher compression. Offered to drag racers was the 363hp variation. However, the top dog was the very rare, dealer-installed 421ci Super Duty made available near the end of 1961.

Auto World has replicated this classic Catalina in factory-matched Richmond Gray paint, a maroon interior, and powered by a 389ci 4-speed.

In 1968, the goal of the Plymouth brand was to make a fun and fast car geared toward younger drivers but keep it affordable. The mid-sized, B-body icon known as the Plymouth Road Runner was born, opening up a whole new niche in the muscle car market. America’s pavement has never been the same since. In 1971, the Plymouth Road Runner was completely restyled using the fuselage styling seen in the rest of the Chrysler lineup. Aerodynamics and handling were greatly improved, as well as luxury options like pile carpeting, powered seats, and additional soundproofing. Engine options included the introduction of the 340ci 4bbl, while the 383ci dropped to 300hp to reduce insurance rates. The massive 426 HEMI and the 440+6 were still available, but it would be the last year for them.

            Auto World has replicated this highly detailed 1971 Plymouth Road Runner in GY8 Gold Leaf Poly with black striping, black canopy vinyl top, and black interior. Under the hood is a 440 Six Barrel engine powering the Mopar rallye wheels.

The Chevy Impala is a popular full-sized car that has gone through ten different design generations since 1958. The year it debuted, it was actually a top-of-the-line trim option of the 1958 Chevy Bel Air. Starting in 1959, it was its own nameplate. The early 1960s was the start of the golden age of American muscle cars. Carrying on the SS option first introduced in 1961, the 1964 Impala SS included the mighty 409ci V8 big-block with dual-4bbl carbs. When the pedal hit the floor, all 425hp roared to life, which inspired the Beach Boys’ hit song “409” in 1962. Styling of the 1964 model was slightly rounded from the previous year with lots of chrome accents, but it still retained the iconic triple tail light setup.

 Auto World has replicated this 1964 Chevy Impala in factory- matched Meadow Green metallic paint with saddle tan interior. Under the hood is the mighty SS 409 engine.

The Ford Torino started as a subseries to the Fairlane and marketed as an intermediate-sized car falling between luxury and performance. By 1971, the Fairlane name was dropped completely, making the Torino a stand-alone model. The Torino name was actually one of the names proposed for the Mustang during its early development! In 1971, the Torino lineup consisted of 14 available models ranging from 4-doors, convertibles, wagons, and 2-door hardtops. 

 Replicated in this 1:18 die-cast is a muscular, high-performance GT model equipped with the top-of-the-line Cobra Jet 429 and shaker hood.

This two-door post W-31 came with B-90 code aluminum trim, Glade Green body color, and black hood stripes. The original owner, Al Stager, of this 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S W-31 sold it to Ryan Weaver on February 15, 2015. In September of 2015, Muscle Car Review published an article about the car in RARE FINDS. Weaver, the new proud owner, showed this Cutlass as a part of the Barn Finds and Hidden Gems display at the 2015 MCACN. That December, Weaver began a chassis restoration to bring the car back to life. When the car was in a functional state, Weaver entered it into MCACN as part of the Ram Rod and W31 Invitational display. Since then, Weaver has been fulfilling his dream as a muscle car owner, hitting the streets and drag strips.
