Looks like there will be another F1GTR in my stable. One that I can race since hardly anyone around here buys anything other than Scalextric.

I will have to make sure I have an order in for the Dodge Challenger. I missed the last white one.

Scaley needs to look into the final decorations for that Challenger. Is it a 440 Six Pack with the wrong hood (no black field), or a 340 with the right hood? Note the front license plate. Was there a 340 that year?

Plate had me scratching my head too...

Seems the black hood was more of a 340 thing...

There sure was a 340 in 1970, not unusual in its 4-bbl form. The 3-2bbl 340 came only in the Challenger T/A, didn't it? That means the rest of the T/A trim has to be there to be correct (side pipes, special hood, larger rear tires.) Dodge guys, jump in.

I am planning on getting a couple of the Challengers too, its nice to see a new release of these!
The white car they show seems to be a R/T 440 Six Pack, it may just have the front bumper from the last Challenger T/A street car they did. Hopefully they will change this in production.

The black on the hood was an option for R/T's. T/A's all had black hoods.
The the 340 came out in 1968, but was not available in a 70 R/T Challenger, Base motor 383-4 then 440-4,440-6 and 426-8
the 340 Six Pack was only in either 70 Challenger T/A or a 70 AAR Cuda.

By 1970, I was distracted from cars by blurting out a proposal to my current wife (46 years now), so I am guessing based on memory. My '66 4-speed Dodge Coronet 500 had a 383 Commando 4bbl, with the Carter removed along with the stock manifold. I had a 750 Holley Thermoquad on an Offenhauser manifold. My friend had a '69 Barracuda SE 340 that made me think I was standing still. It was years later when I got my hands on a 289 '65 Mustang people on HRW are aware of.

By the way, could this be a Scaley attempt at the "Vanishing Point" Challenger?
