He said to Tim that this is where he wanted his car to go after he passed. Around 2020, Tim got a phone call from Mr. Clark’s daughter, honored to sell her late father’s prized HEMI into the Wellborn collection.

This survivor is 1-of-54 4-speed HEMI Chargers from 1970, and 1-of-1 in this color combo. To this day, it’s one of Tim’s favorite cars in the entire Wellborn collection. Auto World discovered this car at the 2021 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals and got to work replicating its amazing details and story in exacting detail.

But also not to surprising since this hasn’t been their first time dabbling in the off road. But, taking a Huracan and ramping it up to off road territory is inspiring and taking a leaf out of Porsche’s book. And our friends over at TOYEAST and SPARKY give us Lambo fans a very nice rendition.

Done in a very Indian Jones Jungle Matt green the producers haven’t take a Huracan model and slapped on the extras. Like the real car the model has been carefully recreated to feature some of the protective and rugged features the actual car has. Skid pads to protect the body, large wheel arches to accommodate the larger wheel size and needed space, front fog lights for a clear view of your end and all topped off with raised roof rack and extra tyre.

Before the invasion of all the new high detail one sixty-four scale brands, TOMYTEC was king of the heap for a long time and still is. There new line of GT-R’s dropped this month is clear proof that TOMYTEC TLVN cars not going anywhere and will continue to be a bench mark for all 1/64 scaled brands.

NISSAN GTR

The 2024 Skyline models from TOMY Tec coming in this month has two colour variations you can choose from; we think the graphite blue looks really sleek and the white one is perfect for a Just Married car enthusiastic couple driving off into the sunset. As always TOMYTEC’s finish, and paint jobs are in top form. The carbon fibre hoods on both cars look brilliant and smashing. As do the front and rear headlights and of course the blue tips exhaust.

COLOUR VARIATION ALERT!!!!

Muscle Machines returns with another FERRARI F40 and this time it’s been given the ‘white’ treatment, which is uncommon colour for the car, but FERRARI did release the F40 in white as well some of which have survived the test of time.

for being able to toon these cars but keep them looking as original as possible without incurring the ire of the main brands themselves.

One thing’s for sure, with such an amazing collection of Muscle Machines it’s fun to just kick back and enjoy looking at the collection.
