1968 Chevrolet Camaro Diecast Model 1:18 Scale

I’ve been obsessed with muscle cars since my early teenage years, but my passion for the Chevrolet Camaro in particular knows no bounds. In fact, my first car was a refurbished 1970 Camaro that my dad helped me to restore. Looking back now, it’s pretty incredible how much time and money I put into that car over the years. When I see people taking their cars for granted, neglecting their exteriors and going for months on end without maintenance, I cringe.

Now that my son is old enough to recognize and differentiate between cars, I’ve started buying him a series of 1/18 die cast cars. It should come as no surprise that his very first model was a 1968 Z28, a car remarkably similar to my own real-life pride and joy. I’m hoping that as my son grows older we spend valuable bonding time restoring old cars in the garage.

1966 Pontiac GTOFor the model car collector, give that special little man (or big man) in your life a little blast from the past with a hard to find diecast model muscle car. These models are such a beauty and so collectible. 

How many diecast collectibles do you own?  Diecast collectibles appeal to those with large collections of the real things in their garage, but they also appeal to those who perhaps will never own a real full size American Muscle car.

Diecasts allow us to put something in our hands that is just like what we have in the garage, or they can allow us to dream of what we cannot put in our garage at the present moment.

Our model cars represent the best of Detroit muscle cars from the 1960s and 1970s, including Mustangs, Chevelles, Camaros, GTS, Impalas and Cougars.  These hard-to-find 1:18 scale models are beautifully detailed and finished with opening hoods, doors, trunks and detailed engines.

So, do I have a 1966 Pontiac GTO? Of course, but it’s just not as big as I wish it were. It can fit in my hand.
