I love both of those castings. Incredibly well detailed and relatively stock looking. Love that the 1970 Nova is a sedan too and not the more "stylish" coupe version of the Nova.
See I told you, I thought it was very nicely done and and you seemed to of liked it yourself. I did drill one apart for the wheels, the front bumper and a back bumper are separate pieces completely. They are just riveted in there with the rest of the car. I do like the matchbox Nova, I do have it I think it's very nicely done, but the Hot Wheels premium Nova is definitely Kick-Ass.
Oh that’s interesting to know they are separate pieces, I would not expect that from hot wheels. They do compare nicely, but when it comes to Novas, the 70 does definitely kick ass!
Yeah in 1978 GM started making cars a bit smaller. Take for example the Monty Carlo. In 76 they were a long car. By 78 they were a lot shorter so I'm sure the Nova got some of the same treatment ..... ✌😎
