Your 1:1 looks to be in great condition!

 

Thanks... yes it's in really good condition... I bought it from an estate sale, owned by a lady who turned 100 the year I bought it. She lived to be 103. She bought it brand new at 63 in 1976 and only put 26,000 miles on it in 37 years. The car is a true survivor. I'm happy to own it. It was ordered for her by the salesman and he checked the L65 350 two barrel option. The car also has the turbo 350 transmission and Cold AC. She traded a 66 Caprice in on it. It's a time capsule really.

I had this Toyota Celica between 1997 and 2001 - it had four wheel steering and could corner like a go-kart. A cool car for the day - unfortunately not many around these days

Unfortunately I dont have any digital pix of the real car but the model wears my personalised plates and I did my best to find some wheels that matched my car

This was replaced by a later model Celica - again with my plates and matching wheels

Real car with plates that I had changed to just before I sold it

The garage space for my 56 Dodge is shared with my other Sunday ride - a 98 MkIV Supra which replaced the Celica in the last post. I have had this since 2009 and it has only covered 120,000km (75,000m) and is very original except for the wheels

The real thing

And the model - Tamiya Supra with wheels from an RX7 to match the real wheels and personalised plates

Thanks for looking

have you compared the 67 GTX?

The body is basically the exact same excepot for some trim.

 

Big difference in the grill  and tail lights / trunk lid panel.  

Interior has a different pattern but that I can live with . 

 

Its the exterior stuff that needs major changes. Unless I can find someone capable of making it  3d printed
