i'll bet you wish you had that cuda now (worth a wee-bit-more)
it might only be a toy, but it's not even close. they could have at least used a four door sedan! what they've done here is a cheap cash-in on a cult classic but avoided paint royalties.
i just find it annoying, like the smart car with General Lee paint scheme. it's just wrong on so many levels.
Yeah, I do kinda miss that old rustbucket.
Far more wish I still had my Javelin - 20 times the car and a great deal safer.
Barracuda was so rusty it was a serious danger to drive.

I have just found this forum and topic
due to an argument I am having in a FB group.
While I can see Johnny Lighting trying to "get around"
the " licensing " issues by not being 100% accurate
at the very least they could have done
(because you know they could have)
was to make the correct car.....
Green Light has done a fine job
with their "Last of the V-8 Interceptors"
without calling it the Mad Max car.
All that JL would have to have done was to....
Make the Car, paint it Yellow, Blue, with the Red and White stripes,
but leave off the Makings (we all would know at a glance what car it is)
As for the markings.....
there are at least 2 people in Oz, making and selling the decals on Evil Bay.
I got suckered into buying the JL Chevelle,
at a Cheap "But It Now" price thinking it was an MFP Falcon
