my new diecast... awsome..... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rod86 · 10-23-2008, 09:51 AM

i went down to my local games world today an had a quick look through the 1:18 cars an spotted this amazing red 1970 plymouth gtx, it was made by a company ive never heard of - GMP, well i forked out a large amount of $$$ for this thing...
and when i got it home and opend the box i was amazed - ive never seen a diecast car this detailed , everything on it is of such high build quality, its the street fighter edition so it has 18inch wheels and stainless steel spoilers front n rear, plus a fully detailed hemi under the hood, but what really got me is the hood hinges that work like the real thing and the windows that roll up and down when you turn the window crank...
well thats what made me happy today

heres some pics...

Cool little car - very well proportioned, IMO

rambler · 10-23-2008, 10:19 AM

that does look sharp.. I stopped collected 1/18 when the kids got older and wanted to "play" with them,, now they are older again,, (teenagers) so I may have to look at it again.. (just got afford it anymore,, got teenagers!)

rod86 · 10-23-2008, 10:49 AM

it really is full of suprises.. i just found out it has cool metal rear leaf springs that work, the rear number plate flips down for the gas cap and its got real carpet inside....

rambler · 10-23-2008, 10:56 AM

hmmm well, just charge up the battery, add some gas and see if it fires up!

might want to check the oil level first

But you still have to make the motor noise and the tire skreeching yourself!
