Nice - !
and now Miles & his 70 W-31 will be forever remembered by possibly millions of kids, some yet to be born
"A couple of days after the show, I was notified that my car was chosen from Johnny Lightening at Die Cast Cars to make my car into a small car,"
Miles said the toy cars have a dedication to them on the side of the packaging, showing who the cars belong to. (Nice Touch !)

Great story for sure!
Happy for Randy and his W-31.
I had the chance to admire this car when he had it in Chicago,it is amazing with that color combo.
Congratulations Randy!

I use to be a hardcore collector of JL diecast but have slowed way down and am out of the loop but I would guess the production run on this car is somewhere between 5,000 - 10,000 pieces.
The JL cars are more of an adult collectible then a childs toy. Much more detailed and expensive then Hot Wheels.
