Anyone see these yet? I did a google search, but I can't find much info on them, but I picked up a couple of the 1/64th cars at Menards yesterday.

I got the 62 Bel Air and the 70 Nova, both have LSx's under the hood, and twin-turbos :) Wheels look like about 18s and 20s and the proportions look pretty good.

Other cars listed in the series:
'68 Camaro Z/28
'69 Charger R/T
'65 GTO
'65 Malibu SS
'55 Nomad
'62 Bel Air
'71 Camaro Z/28
'70 Nova
'67 El Camino (I need to find this one!!!)
'67 Mustang GT

I also found that they make some 1/18 scale cars too :thumbsup:

i have the black pro rodz 1:18th 68 camaro, and also an orange 1:18 Jada Toys pro-touring type camaro.

Personally i think the jada is the better example, looks more realistic.

The roll cage in the maisto looks dodgy, and the lines of the car just aren't as nice....

Personally i think the jada is the better example, looks more realistic. They just need to put normal size wheels on their cars... great proportions on the bodies, but the rear wheels look like 24s or something.

I'm a fan of 17" - 18" wheels, so the Jada cars just don't look "right" to me.

No 71 Chevelle? Worthless. hahah

well i have a strange feeling you will be seeing a 71 chevelle from jada in the near future, one of their designers has a soft spot for em :D

I picked up some of the 1/24 scale ones this past weekend. I like these on overall appeal compared to the Jada ones.

They are scarce up here in Canada. I want a few more for my office collection.

I have seen these, they are really nice, a bit hard to find around here though. I am still partial to the Jada's Old Skool and Big Time Muscle series :) ;) .
