You can check them out at -

How do you know there's a full scale model comin out? Can you point me in the direction of some info on that. I have the 1:43 scale and I would definitely prefer something like 1:18 or something.

Multiply that number by $10,000 and you can have a real one!

Did you test drive before you purchase?

I know I bought it online and it may have come from ediecast.com. I can't remember. I went looking through all my transactions and couldn't find it.

I got one of these Muscle Machines 1:18 scale models on eBay. You can get it from other places as well. You can get it in blue instead of red if desired. I really like it. It's die cast metal and 10 1/2" long. I think it's really nice for the money. I love the three amplifiers in the trunk!

I also have the Ebbro model in blue. It's very nice as well, but it cost more and is much smaller. It's more realistic, but the Muscle Machines model is really cool. I'm thinking about repainting it Caribbean Blue.
