Where can I find a GTO diecast? Where can I find a GTO diecast
The legendary Pontiac GTO is what many consider the first muscle car. Stuffing a big V8 engine 389 in an intermediate body size has been a formula for performance and success of sales. This formula has been followed by many other manufacturers after the GTO came into existence. The goat was one of the few cars of the day to use multiple carburetors, besides the Chevrolet Corvette. The original production run of the GTO was 1964 to 1974. Highlights J. 1969, available with an optional Ram Air IV engine, and for 1970, a 455 cubic inch engine option.
Fast forward to today. muscle car prices are out of sight. Some sell for ten or more times their original selling price. It may be difficult to find an appropriate candidate GTO restoration today rusted can go for the best price on e-bay. There is a solution to this problem of modern times though. Maybe you used to own a GTO back in the day. Or maybe you've always wanted one but could not afford it.
The affordable solution is a GTO diecast . There are high quality replicas of the model is almost every year. There is even a 1964 GTO diecast. Most models have sunk opening hoods, detailed interior and undercarriage. There are several different companies that make them well. They are also being seen as the real thing and the value can go up too, just like the GTO is real. I must warn you that the collection of diecast cars can be an addictive hobby.
