Are you a Mr Norms fan? Then check out this FIRST, 1968 Dodge Dart GSS 440 ever made by Johnny Lighting and a replica of the FIRST 68 Dart Mr. Norms ever put a 440 in. Yes, 2 firsts in one package. First, YCID had to convince JL they could make this model as they had only made 69 Darts in the past. After provided proof of how they could make a 68 using the 69 tooling they were on board. Then given YCID already had Mr Norms licensing it was a simple thing to create a replica of his first ever 440 Dart to again, show Chrysler that it could be done. The story goes, in 1967 Norms mechanics figured out how to stuff a 383 in a Dart which he drove to Michigan to show Chrysler and that was the birth of the 383 Darts, a year later he took a new out of stock, White, Black vinyl top, GSS and had his mechanics stuff the taller 440 engine in it making another unique product he could offer. Chrysler than hired Hurst Corporation to convert the first 42-48 into 440 cars for sale until they could get the factory production line set up for this. These 1/64 versions are identical to the real car even down to the Turquoise (for 68) big block engine color. Note also all the Mr. Norms badging on the diecast along with the factory dealer license plates. These were produced exclusively for YCID Diecast and Dioramas and not available via mass retailers. Each car comes as shown in its Mr. Norms blister pack and limited too 2490 worldwide. These look great displayed with the Mr. Norms Dodge dealership dioramas and Grand and Spaulding Street pad, also available from YCID Diecast and Dioramas. All models shown in street scene and dioramas are NOT included with this car. All diecast car shipping in the new packaging to assure they arrive brand new. I will not discount any shipment for damage, any item damaged in shipping you must file a claim with eBay and a full refund will be issued upon return. For those 1/18 scale fans we do have a matching larger version coming in November.
