Die-cast: Auto World 1977 Dodge Warlock

Blingy Warlock pickup stirred our love of custom trucks ... I have to admit that when I heard Auto World was releasing the 1977 Dodge Warlock I was confused.

Replicarz’s latest Foyt Coyote a winner, except at Indy ... A.J. Foyt epitomizes the Indianapolis 500.

Die-cast: Auto World’s 1969 Chevy Camaro SS

Eye-catching paint job and high value for this Camaro SS I learned to drive a stick shift on my Uncle Wink’s 1967 Camaro SS, so I’ll forever have a soft spot for 1960s Camaros.
