Chevy Caprice Diecast

Here's a sweet 1/64 scale Caprice diecast by Maisto. Detail is awesome.

If You Can't Afford A Rolls Royce Post of The Day™ - 1976 Chevy Monte Royce

Okay, this ain't a diecast car but it's cool nonetheless. If you can't afford a Rolls Royce - and you don't want a mere diecast replica - how about a replica that you can drive? How about this pimped out 1976 Chevy Monte Carlo?

Found this beauty on the Ebay and the Buy It Now price is $6000.

According to the seller a company called Custom Coach (or Classic Coach) built only 200 of these beauties before Royce successfully sued them out of business.




Also according to the seller someone stole the winged mascot.


This car ain't that bad looking. Kinda looks like that evil car from the classic 1970s horror movie, The Car starring James Brolin.

Diecast Chevy Caprice Cop Car

American cop cars should always be large, gas-guzzling monsters of the road. Forget how they do it in Europe and South America with them tiny Peugots and what-nots. The way things are going in America - cap and trade, regulations on light bulbs - the "green" crowd will have lobbied the government to the point that all big American cars will soon be eradicated off the face of the Earth.

My Diecast Car of the Day™ is this Chevy Caprice Cop Car from some Chinese company (I think.) This diecast is actually a piggy bank. Lift the trunk lid and drop in your change.




The tires feel like real rubber. The cop lights, side mirrors, door panels and front grill treatment are spot on. The diecast is approx. 1/18 scale and it's pretty hefty. The detail is great. I love the classic black and white cop car look.
