A great selection Wyatt, and that black one just sings to me. I have always liked that version.

[darkwiz]

That is one of my favorite castings!!!!! My first car was a 65 4 door Nova. Man did I have some great times in that car. Thank's once again Wyatt for the POTW . And to answer your question, Yes it is a muscle car(when done up right) .

Here are a few of my favorite versions of that casting.

Yes, with a little help! Great casting and although one of the older ones, still pretty good looking. A recast would be great!

Great subject Wyatt!

I agree with darkwiz, thisis one of my faves of that casting


It looks black in the picture but in sunlight it sparkles an incredible dark blue. There was a thread quite awhile ago about favourite colours on castings and this was the one I chose.
I don't have any Zingers of this casting yet but they are on "The List". Oh the list is so long .

Thanks once again Wyatt.

I have the American beauties issue, its a nice car. Lovely shade of red.

What issue is the red one from Wyatt?
American Beauties or Muscle?

but they are on "The List". Oh the list is so long

I know what you mean bro, I know what you mean.

James, the red one is from Muscle Cars III Release 3.

I always liked the WL 1965 Chevy Nova SS in the Muscle Cars U.S.A. 203-04, 203-05, and 203-06 series.

Cool casting

I always liked the WL 1965 Chevy Nova SS in the Muscle Cars U.S.A. 203-04, 203-05, and 203-06 series.

Is this one of those?

Seriously. I bought this on the Bay when I first started collecting, ripped it out of the package right away (didn't want my White to turn blue ) and now I can't remember what series it is from.

[STUTZ]

It's a WL from Muscle Cars U.S.A. 203-01, 203-02, or 203-03. Can you post a pic of the base (chassis) showing the number?

I've never seen a number higher than 600 on the base.

Another fine stable of thoroughbred Chevy's. Thanks for the POTW Wyatt.

The green Zinger has always been one of my favorites.

The green Zinger has always been one of my favorites.

The red "chromie" Zinger is my favorite.

I've got #436 (sorry batteries are dead right now)

[zilleonti]

The red one is catching my eye. My mother had a mid-70's (might've been a 73) brown Nova and my oldest uncle had a '73 Orange Nova.

Wyatt, thanks again for all the Bowtie POTW's, Nova's last week, Impals this week. And thanks to Guntownal and Studtz fo rtheir pics too. And Freq, can't forget Freq and his WL pic, and for him showing off that Jairus print in back of his Nova. There I go again drooling all over my keyboard. And turning Green with envy.

I am in Bowtie heaven, I'm in heaven, I am heaven

I have the blue with flames Zinger version illustrated above.
I never did see the green Zinger version in a retail store.
And I do have a few of the regular versions.

Thanks to everyone for posting pictures and their input into this discussion.
And a special thanks goes out to Wyatt for his choice of subject matter for The Picture Of The Week.
This is an older JL casting that still looks good after all the years.
A modification to the side vent windows could do wonders for this casting including extending its life span for a few more years. Other than the vent window issue, the rest of the casting design is sound.

Cheers. Cobra

Just painting the vent windows black instead of silver would have made a big difference.
