Greenlight Collectibles has announced a 1:18 diecast model of the 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T (SKU: GL12896, Non-Limited) as featured in the 1971 movie, Vanishing Point, to be released in December 2013.

終於盼來了這款白色的1970 Dodge Challenger R/T，雖然很多收藏家都覺得Greenlight做的Challenger外型不太準確，但是面對價格高企近乎USD300的絕版Highway61 50554，這個似乎是唯一的折衷選擇。

Highway 61 50554 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 6 pac white LE (1/500)

Update Jan 11, 2015

今天在eBay上看到這台更為罕有的BYC特別訂制敞篷版50554，據說只生產了12台而已。

另外還發現了一台自制的舊化版Vanishing Point。

最後原來還有更利害的場景版

Update Jan 7, 2018

It turns out Greenlight’s Vanishing Point is a total disappointment! The following comment is from John Fox.

Noting what I found on the 24 units I purchased:

• 19, had at least one rusted hood hinge.
• 12, had both rusted. By this I mean red noticeable rust
• 6, had broken clamshells
• 4, had broken or non correctly assembled front suspension
• 7, had very crooked R/T, Challenger or Dodge emblems
• 4, had glue globs on the painted body

Of the 12 I kept I still have some with rusted hinges I will have to fix when I create convertibles from them. I will also have to fix a couple emblems but if I sent every one back that as some issue I would have only kept 4 out of 24.

Below are the issues with every one that was purely cost cutting IMHO.

ENGINE:

• Missing any decals
• No firewall detail at all outside of MC and wiper motor
• No painted battery caps or terminals
• Positive cable glued to the wiper motor
• Manifold mounted backwards (let me also note, I have no idea what the motor is out of. I have in my parts bin, every highway 61 mopar engine made and this motor isn’t like any of them)
• Engine block with plug wire holes but exhaust manifolds mounted so low they are exposed.
• Cheap distributor cap with the molded 4 together plug wires running to each side under the exhaust

INTERIOR:

• No carpeting
• No painted sill plates
• Door, steering wheel, shifter handle woodgrain attempt completely different color then dash and center console color which is right
• Seat belt clasps are different and cheaper
• No sun visors at all. Holes there to mount them, used the correct rear view mirror with the indent for the bar that holds the visors but nothing is there.

TRUNK:

• No spare decal
• No trunk mat nor attempt to paint it remotely close to grey just satin black painted

THE REST:

• Wheels are painted dark grey with chrome trim ring. NEVER was this a wheel in the Challenger/Cuda lineup. How this alone got approved via the licenser I have no idea. Just looks stupid.
• No chassis detail (painted fuel lines and such)
• No emergency brake cable (separate wires)
• N0 torsion bars (31 years every Mopar had them, first thing I noticed when I turned the first one over)
• Horrible attempt at chassis overspray using the wrong color white IMO.

Outside of all this the model is perfect. Given whats typed it really should be a $50-75 (maybe) piece, not a $125.00 one as advertised.

     That’s what I’ve been searching for over the years too. Seemed the coming Greenlight VP is not as good as the old one.
