Okay, so it isn't exactly my own car but close enough. I have been waiting for this car to be released and they did a very good job on it. There are a few things they changed from the original but I dont car. I still have one my car to add to my collection but that will have to wait until it gets here next week then I will share what that one is.

If for some reason you can not see the pics because cardomain is messing up just click here and you see them at my website. Thanks for looking.

I believe that they are out now just at specialty die cast shops. I was able to get mine off of ebay that had 2 of them and I bought both of them from them. I believe that they will be in Wal-Marts sometime since the General Lee I got from wal-mart since it accidentally slip out onto the shelf since it is new mod and the mod has not been set yet and won't be set until after christmas. So expect to see them there sometime but not to soon. Just check ebay and other online die-cast shops and you should be able to find them for around 25-30 maybe a little more depends on the seller.
