I've purchased a few items from diecastmuscle.com in the past and am on an e-mail list for new items/announcements/etc.  Thought '82 drivers might be interested in these.

It's from Franklin Mint and $105.  Shocked
 
I'd get drawn and quartered if I spent that much one.

Thanks Paul now I see it.  Jim thats a crazy price for a FM, I got my FM Pacer a lot cheaper on eBay.  Now that I think about it, all 11 of my Pacers and two different scale Pacer models all came from eBay.

I bought one of the Welly diecast 82s through Ebay about a year ago, thinking that for that price it couldnt be much.....boy was I wrong !!  I ordered another one as soon as the first one was delivered.  I couldnt believe the level of detail at any price, but at what I paid, somewhere around $20.00, it was really unbelievable.  My son, who has better eyes than me, even commented that the speedometer in the diecast only went up to 85.  I recommend them highly to any 82 owner

Jim, I have the black one, and it's great. I got it  a while ago for $20 & I could not believe how good it was for the price. '82's are impossible to find except for the CE.

I got the red one a couple of years ago. I bring it to car shows and plop it on top of my air filters.
