Curious, anyone collect 1:18 scale cars? If so, what do you got?
 
Posted by 1991CHP (Member # 5097) on :
 
Yup.

1970-73 Camaro's, some 5.0's & all kinds of superbikes.

What do you got for 5.0's? The only fox I have right now is an 86 SVO. I do mostly performance company mustangs. Shelby's, SVT's, Saleen, BOSS, I also have a few GT's. 99, 05, and S197 protoype. I have been looking for a few 5.0's. Would love to find a 93 cobra, or 87-93 saleen. But not sure if they even exist?

A company out of Georgia named GMP produces awesome replica Fox body Mustangs.

http://www.gmpdiecast.com/products/default.cfm?category=1%3A18%20Scale%20Ford%20Mustangs


Trust me when I say that these things are far worth the $100 per model. Jenn bought the silver 05 GTO and I bought the 93 teal Cobra and they are both far superior to any mass produced die cast model I've ever owned.

I'll post pics up sometime but my 1:18th scale car collection consists of the following:

95 Yellow Saleen Mustang Vert/Roadster (Autoart)
04 Silver GTO (ERTL)
05 Silver GTO (GMP)
05 Silver Mustang GT Concept (Autoart)
93 Teal Mustang Cobra (GMP)
05 Blue H2 SUT (So Real Concepts)
02 White Camaro SS Anniversary Edition (ERTL)

haha.. that is kick ass..
... mini cobra in a mini trailer. looks like you have a great collection there. how long did it take you to get them all?
 
Posted by BlueOvalRacing (Member # 1531) on :
 
98% of them are Jada DubCity cars. The F250 and 03 Cobra are made by Maisto, I have a few GMP models (more to come, because they have some awesome quality stuff) and 1 Franklin Mint Cobra. Most are 1:24 scale, but have 6 1:18 scale cars - 3 of them are 67 fastbacks (9 67 fastbacks total). It took me about 2 years to get them all.
The display cases are from Ikea and cost damn near as much as the cars themselves.

*edit* Dana, most of the cars were bought at either Walmart or Toys r Us Some people on ebay will sell sets of cars if you want all the color and wheel combos. Just don't pay much more than $12 a car, because they can be had all day for that price at the 2 stores I listed.

Those Fastbacks are badass, are those the only colors they come in?
 
Posted by 1Sicgt (Member # 714) on :
 
I just ordered another, got the 93 LX Vert in Canary yellow, and also the CS figurine to go with all my Shelby's. LOL.

Everytime I think I have all the colors, I see a new one. Jada's site doesn't even show all the colors they offer for some reason. www.jadatoys.com

My 4 64 Falcons showed up today - these 3 and a black one.

wow thats cool thanks.
What i want is one thats identical to my 68 but thats impossible because Laser Red wasn't out in the 60s so i would have to paint the model myself.

EDIT: i have that diecast model already [Smile] Its tight. I should take pics of my collection which is kinda small. HOLY SHIT though i don't remember spending 100 bucks for it!

Question?

Does the Truck have a hitch on it from the factory, or did you modify something to work?

I Am making my own 2 car enclosed trailor for shits a giggles. I just want to see what out there can tow it though.
 
Posted by BlueOvalRacing (Member # 1531) on :
 
Right now, the trailer hitch is just sitting on the bumper step. I'm gonna fab up a small pin to locate the hitch on someday.

The F250 was sent by Ford to all factory diesel certified technicians (me included [Big Grin] ).

Hey where do you get that DSG Cobra with the trailer and the F250...oh man i want that really bad...i checked ebay and no one had it there yet...man that one is sick!!!!!!!!...
 
Posted by BlueOvalRacing (Member # 1531) on :
 
The F250 was sent to all diesel certified Ford techs, so you will have to try to talk one of us out of it. It's a Maisto, so there might be a way to get another version somewhere.

The DSG Cobra is a Maisto that i bought at Costco a couple years ago.

The trailer is a GMP that I got off ebay.
 
Posted by autumnstang97 (Member # 6111) on :
 
damn it!...lol...thanks a lot though...i may just have to get another truck to do the hauling...i'm gonna check out costco today...well thanks...

As far as trucks, here is a few you can choose from

Harley F350

F350, but looks like an F250

2005 F350

2006 F150 Harley

I picked up one of the JADA Big Tymers F150's to modify for a trailer hitch. It to me was a neat looking truck. Not detailed for much, but cool.
