70, 71, 72 Red First Shot Chevelles!
 |
Test Shot are the first castings out of a new
mold. Most of the time there are no more then 4 of any Test Shots of a
casting unless there are corrections to be made, so these are quite
rare. Till recently these were made available to the public.
In the last few weeks , Tom Lowe has offered a few of these for auction to the public. I was lucky to team up with 2 other great collectors to acquire a Chevelle for my collection, as we know these are the real deal. |
Above is the 70 Chevelle Test Shot and below you can see the base shot. Notice they do have #s and letters done with a marker for reference purposes.
Next is the 71 Chevelle Test Shot.
Next is the 72 Chevelle Test Shot with a base shot also.
67 Buick Test Shot
I hope you enjoyed the feature and learned a lot more about how the diecast companies work on a new casting to be released in the near future.
Thanks, Rick
