Oh yeah!!! That's what I'm talking about *drools*.
I've only found one on the Pegs. I would've kept it but it went out in my Secret Santa package last year.

*slightly off-topic*
A few years ago I gave my father-inlaw a Richard Petty '62 Belvedere for Christmas.

I like the red one the best.

I wish JL would have made a real hardtop casting and didn't use a plastic roof that was glued on to make it look like a hardtop. Several of my '67 Plymouth GTX hardtops have tops that don't fit right. I know it would have cost more money to make another casting for a hardtop, but I've become more selective in my buying.

This one of my favorite JL casting. I prefer Chevys, but this one grew on me! thumbsup.gif

As always great pictures Wyatt. thumbsup.gif

My #1 favorite casting! The only casting I have all the regulars, (except a plastic tire MONC3) and half the WLs. Slowly working on getting them all thumbsup.gif

That is a car I didn't really know I likes so much until the Johnny Lightning came out. It is very well done and have bought a few. Thanks for the pic this week!

I feel a whole lot more like I do now, than when I first got here!

Another nice one, Wyatt.

This is the first version of the casting that I bought a few years ago.

IPB Image
From Classic Gold 2 release 17. Hardtop version.

IPB Image
From Mopar Or No Car release 9. Convertible version.

IPB Image
From Mopar Muscle Magazine release 10. (Primedia Magazine release 13).

I have to agree with Stutz that the red coloured version illustrated above is the best of them all.
Personally, I didn't like the versions with the stripes on the hoods and trunks as you can see in the image below:

And thanks goes out to Wyatt for the latest Picture Of The Week.

Great casting. I've got a bunch.

This car was really versatile. It could be a plain Jane grocery getter; a sporty ride for a guy or gal; or a real pavement pounder! I think LC should do a Belvedere hardtop version of this casting instead of keeping it a GTX.

A great Mopar casting thumbsup.gif The red one and the black convertible are my favorites.
Speaking of the plastic roof, notice how you can see right through the holiday version.
