Resolutely sticking with its replica theme, Indianapolis-based Greenlight Collectibles has announced its new 1:64 scale castings for the 2009 year. There’s a mix of muscle cars and pickups, old and new. Some may come around as early as late 2008, but the following new castings will be filtered through various new and returning series throughout the coming year:
1965-’66 Ford Galaxie
2008-’09 Dodge Challenger SRT8 and RT (production versions)
1968-’69 Buick GS350/GS400, Hardtop and Convertible (never done before in scale)
1970-’74 Dodge Challenger, including convertibles of 1970-’71.

We’ve only seen pictures so far — the Dodge Sweptline pickup, seen here, as well as one or two others — and what we have seen looks good. There’s also a line of Grand Am-series racing prototype machines coming. Check out www.greenlightcollectibles.com, for more information, and we’ll be ordering our new Greenlight sets from www.1stopdiecast.com.
