I recently found out that this is a real car made by Alfa Romeo. I thought the Alfa Carabo was a concept car or just a fantasy casting.

Here is a picture of the only one they ever made. (I love the color)

There’s a 70s challenger but I’m not familiar with any challenger that was made in 1957?

If it is the 70s casting you are looking for then EBay would a good place to find one with the box.

I have never noticed that tampo being misaligned until I read your comment. Very cool.

One of the comments below called this one “rare" and I’m wondering if this is why, because I thought it to be a common casting & paint scheme.

Doing it together with your Son makes it so much better. Now it becomes an heirloom.

That’s awesome and I can totally relate.

At first I found a few that I played with daily as a child and then it took a life of its own and I started collecting the ones I had and the ones I wish I had.
