Nice diecasts, I have quite a few myself
(20-21-ish 1:18 scale) most recently
13-14-ish or so
(older drag racing FC & Dragsters 1:24 scale Snap-on & Mac or Matco tools diecasts)

I usually only buy now when reduced prices or on clearance
tired of spending $100+ (Acme, 1:18 many are $139++) each
Auto World & Acme are really nice
I prefer the 1:18 scale
the 1:24 scale is far more reasonably priced

I saw the 'Acme' Ramchargers ramp truck (in stock)
& an 'Acme' 70 Cuda Hemi P/S Ramchargers (not tell Dec. IIRC)

I got a few nice ones, from Acme 1:18 scale for $59, $69 & $79 recently
of late, usually priced at like $139-$159+ or far more, nice detail
Some of the Auto World are usually $109-$129-ish or far more, nice detail too
clearance/sales for like $59-$79-$89-ish, every so often

I saw the 1:18 69 Charger from 'Dirty Larry Crazy Mary' for like $249 (?),
no freaken' way, I'm paying that (still not in stock)

I have a few cool MoPars 66-71, a few Chevys 62-71 (5), Buick GS (1)
& Pontiac GTOs (2), a Daytona winner Shelby Ford GT40 & Daytona Coupe
49 Ford vert, 48 Ford Woody, 39 Ford Coupe
just recently

I'm going to have them in a display case
this is at my desk, the past year-ish, like 8 are just recently

Nice collections, guys. I bought the Ramchargers ramp truck, too, Jeff. I also put my Ramchargers AWB car on it. I have Herb's S&M Duster on my S&M ramp truck and a trailer behind it with the '67 S&M GTX. I'd buy the Snake and Mongoose ramp trucks, but there aren't any 1/18 scale Snake and Mongoose funny cars that I've seen.
I would think they'd do well to make a Landy ramp truck, too.
 
There's a few generic (67-70-ish) ramp trucks/Dodges
maybe get one in white, or the color you like (or paint) etc.
find an old model or decals kits, and make your own
with the desired decals

I was thinking about doing that myself
 
Here's one I did up years ago using Lindberg L-700 and diecast trailer deck. AWB car was made from Johnny Lightning snap kit. These are 1/25 plastic. Those ramp trucks are nice additions to your AWB collection. I wish they had done a line of '64 Plymouth's, as they did Dodge's. I know this ramp truck is nowhere close to the real thing, but it was a fun project. Decals are from Lindberg '64 Dodge Ramcharger kits.

Die cast are cool especially when it’s of your car.

Here's mine. I had to do an engine swap, as the yellow version came with a Hemi in it. I also had to change rims and tires to match what I have on car now.

Might as well pre-order it now, Jeff. No use fighting it.
 
My last move I gave my collection away to a friend, 65 of them. I kept four or five Mopars. I can't find a 65 Coronet, stock, 1/18 die cast, I would love to have one. It's a bastard car as far as the model world goes.
 
oh man i've got to have one of those to match my 70 d300 roll back tow rig , pics from when i picked it up with my new 61 d200 as well .
